Selecting optimise on the Geforce Experience has it running the best for me so far

Finally got it to work, rolled back a BIOS update, was on 42d rolled back to 40

I won't be doing that, think that's the bios that Destiny 2 doesn't start with and I play a lot of that. So by the looks I have to wait for a bios update. Did roll back to 42a but still got the launcher crash.

I'm really not sure why a lot of people are having issues and I hope they are solved soon for you guys. Once you get stuck in, it's a truly brilliant game! And bloody gorgeous.

Here are my benchmark results and settings. My rig:

Asus ROG PG279Q 1440p 144hz IPS (gsync enabled)
i7 8700k @ 4.8Ghz (all cores) - Kraken X62 and it's delid
32gb Corsair Vengeance Pro 3200mhz (XMP ii)
Asus Z390-E
EVGA 2080 ti XC Ultra - OC'd core to 2,100 mhz, memory at 8,000 mhz
Asus Zonar STX ii Sound Card
1TB Samsung 970 Evo m.2 SSD (I've other normal SSD's, no mechanicals, but the game is installed on the m.2)

Here are my options and results:

Nice lol, did you not fancy dropping some settings and using MSAA? Its so much better looking than TAA which is very blurry IMO

Thanks but yeah, also made sure .NET etc is all up to date

Someone on Reddit mentioned to try and run a repair on the C++ distributable as well, done!

Dont think there's much out there I haven't done short of a complete reinstall of Windows.

Are you using Bitdefender?

Anybody else keep slapping their horses behind because they are trying to get on using F instead of E?

This is normal. Don't worry.

Yup, you will end up punching it eventually as well.

What are the thoughts of those playing RDR2 for the first time? (Technical issues aside.)

I just messed with the res scaling at 1080p, to get rid of blur I had to set it to 5/4 x1.250. I don't even know what that means.

Witcher1980 said:
That res scale option is a god send, 1080p 5/4 1.250. Has let me put settings on high and ultra and medium and a couple on low. 60 fps but my gpu is 99% used all the time.

Mate lol, think of your native res as 100% or in this case, x1.

Setting x1.25 means you are running a resolution 0.25 higher than your max res, so you will be losing a bit of performance by upscaling but it will look nice for sure hence why the blur has gone.

in this game it’s 1/2 I think.

other games only let you go to 70% which makes 1080p impossible (and 1440p while we’re at it)

markoboyo11 said:
Surely 1080p is exactly 0.25% of 2160p eg 4k
And 1440p is ~50% of 4k

2160/2 = 1080

I've only had time to play chapter 1 so far, but I've really enjoyed it. Looking forward to having a bit more freedom from now onwards though. I can see why people suggest keeping a save at the start of chapter 2.

BIOS update to F10b (x570) got me in finally.

After the 2 hour prologue which I felt was quite restricting and being out in to the open world it feels like a much improved and built on GTA world. I never expected it to feel so alive but casually riding through the landscape leads to all sorts of unpredictable scenarios. It almost feels like the world responds to how you behave like you would expect it to in real life. I fired some shots nearby a fort in the wilderness and after a couple of minutes a patrol was sent out to investigate, and I wasn't even that close but they still took an interest. I haven't touched the main storyline yet and probably won't for a long while, there's plenty of side quests and areas to explore.

Superb. Atmospheric. RP potential galore. Some of the best aesthetics I've seen in a game

I've not tried to be honest, will check and compare, thanks!

After all my talk of stability and smoothness. I just had my first crash. Hopefully I didn't lose too much progress.

I also found the below:

Still not working for my friends, Rockstar come on ffs.

ChrisUK1983 · 6 Nov 2019 at 19:32

Been working perfectly all day for me with not a single issue. Turn the PC off to grab some food, come back an hour later and getting the same error as everyone else now!
