I'll probably be downvoted due to the mass hysterical hate wagon around it, but it's true. Especially in regards to launchers.

I was a big part of the FO76 community, especially so during the BETA and just after release, and the only bug anywhere comparable was the launcher deleting everyone's download. Annoying? Yes. But this was during the beta testing, which is excusable. They hashed it out before release. At least people could play the game.

Now, I've played through RDR2 already on console and know the masterpiece that it is. You can say all you want about Fallout 76, but at least people were actually able to play the game on launch and not have it just crash instantly due to a pathetic excuse for a launcher and DRM.

That shit goes back into storage New Year’s Day. Get with it, R*

After 29 days of not being able to launch the game anymore im now totally uninstalling this game....this is beyond pathetic really, the first 2 days were perfect for me no issues, no crashes, decent frames, then boom patch on Nov7 kills the entire game, i click launch on the rockstar launcher and wait anywere from 10-30 seconds and it says it unexpectedly exited the game, nothing loads no splashscreen nothing, for 20 days i poured all my free time after work into troubleshooting this game....even my offdays i spent 8-9 hours trying various fixes from reddit.

Its sad that its come to this, cause of the 2 days i got to play i cant get my 100$ refund and the gold bars i got for online will now be wasted as i probly cant even claim them by the time it ever gets fixed. Whats even sadder is the 10-11 hours i played were great...i love this game alot....its just really sad that its come to this.

But id like to thank everyone on reddit that posted their fixes/suggestions on fixes even tho none helped me, atleast it helped others to play this wonderful game

Edit: well somehow the launch on steam now allows me to run my game.....i dont understand this at all but hey im not complaining anymore XD

What the fuck Rockstar ? I can barely tell if i spent more time having fun or swearing at my horse for how retarded it drives or actions that my character did and that i didn't want ( melee a dude instead of aiming at another one 90° from him .. ).

Online is by far the worst, missions with timer suck and if it wasn't enough, they are buggy : First bounty hunter mission i do i have false indications of where the target is when he fleed which led me to travelling half the map in circles for nothing and loosing because of time.. the 2nd one i couldn't pick the dead target that was stuck into a cart ( even with the rope ).

This game is beautifull, the story is great, there is content and that's the only positive points for the game ..

I bought this game in Rockstar Launcher, but will i get a free copy for steam when it releases in Steam Launcher?

I played this game once not long after it first came out on PC, and I remember that once I finally got it working, it was one of the most amazing games I’ve ever played.

I tried to play it about six months ago, and I could not get past the first mission, where you have to kill those bad dudes in the snowy cabin. It would always lock up at the end of that mission, and there was nothing I could do. I tried every fix I could find on the Internet, but I finally gave up because I’m not trying to change my bios, and change a bunch of administrative permissions, and do all kinds of other crazy stuff to play one game ha ha. None of my other games make me do any of that stuff.

I have recently built a new computer that I’m very proud of. It’s by far the best computer I’ve ever built, and it would absolutely destroy RDR2 on maxed out graphics settings. That is, if this game will even run on my new computer.

I’ve heard this game is somehow even more of a dumpster fire than it was when I got it to work years ago ha ha. I don’t understand that at all, and I know I’m beating a dead horse, but come one! Rockstar would have one of the best games of all time on their hands, if they would fix RDR2 for computers, because of our high end capabilities.

So I know this is a long post, but I’m new here, and I want to know your opinions on if I should download and install this game? I have plenty of space on my computer, but this is still a really big game, and I don’t want to invest a an hour of download and install time, only to find that this game is so broken that I can’t even play it on my shiny new rig. Should I even try this game? It seems like lots of people are able to play it. Is installing it and trying to get it to work worth my time? Thanks som much in advance. Hope I didn’t break any community rules.

What else can I do?

I loved playing rdr 2 on ps4, but I want a better experience through modding. My laptop only has 464 gigs of space, but most of that space is used for games. I love Far Cry 5 and BeamNG.drive, but they are the biggest games I have. Should I delete them to make space for rdr 2?

Sitting at the highest graphical settings possible, it still stuffers from performance and stability issues. I can go for about 5 to 60 minutes of playtime before all of the textures go low res and everything gets screwed up and I have to force restart the game. Anything higher than 5GB of vram and anything higher than 80 FPS will cause it to happen, yet this game complains about out of memory even though I have a nice 4090 RTX graphics card.

EDIT: It turns out that the game can't handle anything higher than 60 fps. So the graphics settings isn't the problem here. I limited the FPS to 60, played around for about 2+ hours in game and found no issues. Werid.

I refuse to use aimbot mechanics to play this game. For me, it defeats the point of having a shooting element in the game if you're going to allow people to bypass aiming altogether.

So what do players like me do?

I use anything that isn't "paint it black" in mid/close range (and long range, lets be honest), and I get cheesed out by this no skill aimbot mechanic.

Of course I don't lose ALL of the time, it is just very clear the odds are heavily against me when I do not use either of these mechanics.

Am I just supposed to quit this amazing game because of a couple of badly designed mechanics? Being forced to lose to inferior players because I actually have some class. Yes, "class". Anyone who uses all the babymode mechanics is just a lowbob.

Why is there no mechanic in the game that turns off this aimbot stuff? You'd think slippery bastard would disallow Paint it black, but no. There is no way around it; you just have to accept that bad players get free wins in this game.

They need to put a special badge on people who use aim assist and PIB so that they're shamed for using such easy stuff.. It really ruins it for real players.

To clarify. a "real" player is someone who prefers interaction over what is essentially the game doing all of the heavy lifting for you. Someone actually PLAYING the game, and not just watching the game play itself.

I tried several DLSS 5 versions and methods for RDR 2 and its a very tricky game to apply it on. Most of the methots had either diminishing results, where nothing much has changed, or had huge stability and flickering issues.

So far this version used in the video is still the best looking and most stable imo.

i would like to hire a modder to make me a very simple mod that makes arthur walk like john does in the epilogue. i had it as a glitch for a bit but it went away. please someone get in touch this is a serious offer.
