Red Dead Redemption 2

Chapter 1 aka I barely have control over anything

opethdisciple · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:15

How is performance then? Reading this thread people say it's not too bad.

I just read the Guru3d benchmark review and it looks like a system crusher!

Ouch. https://www.guru3d.com/articles-pag...pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review.html

I’m a Rockstar Expert and a Rockstar gamer like you. I’ll be happy to help you out today

Sorry to hear you're having issues with this, you're certainly not the first person I've interacted with having the same problem!

It does seem that there's an issue with this at the moment. We've reported it to the Rockstar team and are waiting to hear back on a solution.

Until we hear back from them or they officially announce a workaround I'm afraid there isn't anything we can suggest to fix this.

Some people have reported that deactivating anti virus or similar protection fixes the issue, you can try this but it's not an official fix.

The best thing to do now is to keep an eye on the Rockstar channels as any fix it workaround will be updated there first:

Sorry for the hassle this is causing, I'm experiencing the same thing!

Thanks,

Ah well, you can't be angry now as Ryan is a gamer just like you and is having the same issues...! :rolleyes:

I look forward to getting home later and rolling the dice to see if I get to play.

DX12 or Vulkan?

FlyingScotsman · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:24

Not home until next Wednesday hopefully all sorted by then

"Unable to launch RDR2.exe due to a lack of privileges on the Game Library directory."
Back to the Xbox then ...

(Wow, my signature is a bit out of date!)

Bounty · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:35

Hunting mission causes a crash for me.
I also can't run the built in benchmark either Vulkan or DX12

Sounds like you installed it to C drive and the launcher needs to be run as admin to run it.

wellibob · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:42

How can this happen yet again (loading issues etc). Reason I never pre order anything and happy to wait till issues are ironed out and prices fall. Especially since this game is a year old anyway. (don't care what platform it comes out on. Its still an old game)

3t3P · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:44

Boys will my Mx440 with zip tie fan mod be ok?

Seems like a crusher but bet there's lots of settings at ultra with diminishing returns that are hampering performance.

No doubt some optimisation in the coming months.

Never played a red dead game, recommended? How large is campaign in hrs if not doing side missions(I need to stay focused lol)?

greatash · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:44

Looking good for AMD cards according to the guru3d bench, look at the fury X matching the 1080 in 1080p!

breathe3asy · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:44

This game looks insanely good at certain times, I am plodding along through Chapter 1 nicely

Nexus18 · 5 Nov 2019 at 17:47

Lol.......

R* went in dry with the PC master race this time round.

Would have at least expected the performance to be much better given that the graphics overall aren't hugely better.

Drollic · 5 Nov 2019 at 18:05

66 average at 1440p with a 2080ti. Nope. There's no optimisation patches going to address performance some 50% under where it should be if that guru3d slide is to be believed.

Eddie · 5 Nov 2019 at 18:06

Not launching for me either

Len Dananey · 5 Nov 2019 at 18:06

Red Dead 2 runs amazing for me guys, maxed out 1440p runs butter smooth, loving it. Never dipping lower than 120fps, hats off Rockstar for a change lol

Bishie · 5 Nov 2019 at 18:11

Has anyone else received this error when attempting to launch the game via the desktop shortcut that the installation created?

I’ve got mine set to the higher end of balanced and it rarely drops below 100.

Still looks great.

Had it on my OLED but the whole K+M adds another level of experience, especially in first person. Can’t aim for **** with a controller personally.

Damn that must be annoying, seems I got lucky it just works for me, haven't had a single problem. Hope you sort it mate.
