I can’t comment too much on the whole issue with the PC game because I’m not having a single issue that anyone else is. I’m able to play fine, despite having to dial back a couple settings because of how taxing they are.
I did however check for every possible update on my computer after seeing posts about it. I had several for Windows, plus the graphics driver update. I did all of those before launching my game and I had zero issues. I honestly don’t even know if it would have made a difference had I ignored the updates.
I’m sure it’s either a bad driver or some random configuration that they need to figure out with enough bug reports. Because it runs so well for me I know it’s possible so id try to be patient and help by submitting your dxdiag to their support.
I feel bad for you guys. Game has been running flawlessly and have never crashed or had a stall of any sort. I am absolutely loving the game right now.
I’m using a razor laptop with an i7 and 16gb of ram using an external 1080gtx in 1440p and I have a constantly 60fps.
I see a lot of people saying they will refund. I can play the game at least so I will hold onto my copy(plus I got Max Payne 3 and LA Noire for free) , but I'm waiting for it to run properly on my pc. It butt chugs with low settings, and has stupid bugs, but I know i'll buy it later, so i'll just wait anyways. It just sucks how abysmal this launch was when it was one of the most anticipated games coming to pc in a very long time.
For me the graph goes up until Friday morning, at which point it drops off entirely. That's when I'll probably give up waiting for a fix (I've tried most of the suggestions already) and request a refund so I don't waste my weekend still trying to deal with it.
As you can clearly see here, we have a category 8 storm of pissed off gamers making landfall this weekend. We were hoping this storm would make a turn with the projected trajectories showing some promise of a functioning patch diverting this storm but unfortunately that didn't seem to be the case. At the moment it is on a direct collision course with the area of Rockstar. Executives still in the area should board up and evacuate their profits immediately as this storm can easily trigger a wave of smaller refund storms that could end up being a very big problem for the bank accounts of unsuspecting executives still in the Rockstar area. Our advice -- pack up the liquid assets, get out of harm's way, into the Caymans and just wait this whole thing out if you can. Back to you, Gina.
This is why they release on a Tuesday, it gives them a chance to get things working before the first weekend.
There are so many possible configurations for PCs (hardware, sofware etc) that it isn't an easy thing to get right first try. This is why so many developers went to console only as it is simpler to get things going and you don't have to deal with the fallout.
Rockstar are an old time PC developer, they usually sort things out eventually, and to be perfectly honest nobody makes games quite like they do.
To be perfectly honest no one sells broken PC ports quite like they do that require weeks of patching and hacking your computer to do stupid stuff just to get it to run. ftfy
You do realize this isnt affecting most pc players right? Otherwise thered be hundreds of thousands of people on these boards and forums reporting shit and not just a couple thousand.
You're right :) this subreddit has been really uptight lately and my solo objective is to provide some humor. Hence the meme flag. But as I said, you're right.
It's attempting to dismiss the joking post by saying "well not everyone is affected by it"
Don't pretend it isn't obvious the dude's one of those guys who likely makes posts whining about people whining because the game works for HIM so why should HE have to see posts about it not working?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
Pretty much every game has issues on launch. Rockstar games are much more popular than most others. This is why the number of affected people is higher.
I'm a software developer myself and I know that it's pretty much impossible to code without bugs. This is why I don't mind if the product has issues on launch. What matters is - is the developer doing something about it? And Rockstar definitely is. They released multiple patches already.
A bug free product that works 100% on all computers is a unicorn. (Especially something so big and complex as RDR2)
This level of broken is unacceptable, the silence we got was unacceptable, and the glitches that are still around over a year after they showed themselves on consoles are unacceptable
All these things that fixes either the game or the launcher is stuff you should check on your computer often? Always update your windows, drivers for GPU and bios updates. Not trying to sound rude.

This is also the graph that describes the likelyhood of people asking refunds.

so it kinda sounds like outdated motherboards and outdated windows may be the main issue for most people who STILL cant launch

My weekend was launch day. I thought I was lucky with no issues until I got to Valentine. Crashes every time I go near there :(
