Just ignore RDR1 and play RDR2... it's a self-contained game.

pretty sure rockstar straight up said they were never doing a pc port for rdr1.
i do agree, rdr2 is very much self contained, there are references for the diehards but nothing story breaking.

Performance feels miles better now, DLSS coupled with the optimised settings makes it a much smoother and better looking experience than when it first came out. I'm tempted to give it another go when I've finished on other games. I might just stick to the story missions and power through as the slower pace and distractions of all the side activities burned me out pretty quickly.
This game still has those moments where the lighting, scenery, weather effects and attention to detail are just perfect, I've said to myself in my head many times when it happens that it's the best looking game I've played.
RDR1 is never going to come to PC, not unless it's a complete remake further down the line. I remember reading that the version of the engine that it ran on was an absolute nightmare concoction that was incredibly unoptimized and unstable. They somehow performed a miracle and were able to get it running on the consoles at a reasonable level, but porting to the next gen consoles as a remaster or the PC would have required massive reworks for it to even function properly. If you remember how bad GTA4 was when it released on PC then RDR1 sounded like it would put that to shame.

don't know much about this sort of thing, but given how they managed to have new austin in rdr2 surely it's not that unfeasable if they have the assets from rdr1 to re-assemble them in the rdr2 engine? i mean voice clips, character models, cutscene vids etc

I think that's where it's starts to tread down the full remake route as it would still take a lot of man hours to repurpose everything and bring it all up to the proper quality levels, they're still going to have to create lots of things from scratch as well. Probably not worth it in their eyes. I think we could see it eventually, maybe as a way to repackage RDR1 & 2 together with the online component and get people to double/triple dip again.
I wouldn't be surprised if the New Austin area in RDR2 was unfinished/cut content, or something that they intended for the online component further down the line. Similar to the casino & Race track from GTA V that was sat their for years unused until it showed up as an online expansion.
I'm getting them, making the game unplayable. Only just bought it, tried both renderers, virus scanner off, two different screens (and therefore resolutions). No luck, just crashes back to windows or freezes up completely.
Removed all OC. 5800x and 3090.
Any ideas?
Thanks

suprised yours is not higher,i restarteded rdr2 yesterday in snowy area i was getting 80fps maxed at 4K and my cpu is far weaker
would double check drivers - and your set to fullscreen. got 10-20fps bump here

I'm getting the same behaviour with this and Star Citizen, turning my RAM down to 3200 seems to have helped, though not sure why
sounds like errors occuring in memory most games crash to desktop from stablity issues in VRAM RAM
I’ve done a bios update and chipset driver update. I at least managed to complete a whole mission without crashes. I’m away now, will test more on return.
I’ll try knocking the ram back if it’s still crashing.
80fps minimum? I would be surprised if you don't get occasional drops to 50fps or so if everything truly is maxed.
So average is 90fps, drops to 65fps when either just entering large grass area or town but pings back to 80fos+ within a second.
The only other time it drops to below 65 is near large moving water due to water physics worst near water is 58fps
I did try turning down physics down 1 notice for 10fps increase and grass one notch gave 15fps increasebut biggest difference is near shadows one setting drop for 20-30fos increase

I picked this up recently. Have seen my son playing it on his Xbox but it doesn't come close to what it looks like on my PC. It's been a while since I've been impressed by a game's graphics. I'm looking forward to getting away from the snow and seeing some nice sunsets etc in the desert.
Any tips for the graphics settings? I by default it seemed like almost everything was set to ultra (but the "advanced" stuff is disabled). All I did was set DLSS to quality. Looks great, seems to run fine too. Benchmark gave me a minimum of 60fps which is more than enough for a slow game. Even during an 'action' bit when I was shooting some O'Driscolls it was perfectly fine to play. I just wonder if there's anything in particular that's worth changing. I'm at 1440p if that makes a difference. 3060TI.
Try using vulkan gave me more fos and better averages

Use these settings laid out here..

I think vulkan is a bit smoother for me but I've not tried DX12 since the last update so it may have changed. There's not a lot in it though.
vulkan by far for me, Depends if you got a 'weak CPU' my 2950x is pretty weak for todays standard even at 4K. SO for me vulkan alllows me to keep GPU at 99%
DX12 @ 4K maxed 45-60FPS - gpu usage 60-85%
Vulkan @ 4K Maxed (65fps-110fps)
Thanks. Is there a difference in image quality at all? I heard some people mention DX12 looks sharper etc.?

Hmmm, not sure
