Let's party like it is 1863!
Jokes aside the game is extremely unstable. In a week I got more disconnects and crashes than in all other games combined during last year. Anthem and Ghost Recon Breakpoint weren't even remotely as buggy as RDR2 yet people ate their developers alive (metaphorically).
edit: update broke the client even further. Map waypoint system ignore mouse and put location into the center of the screen (sometimes into an arbitrary point on screen) + after graphics settings update the game cannot even launch without administrator permissions. Apparently the team has no clue about QA and testing and let the players test defects.
Thank you for your time!
Cash shop works perfectly when our games don't,so what's the problem,as intended.
"visually stunning"Yeah we do trees and grass and empty spaces like no other game.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
You sound rather bitter.
I think the overwhelming opinion is that the game is a beautiful looking game, regardless of your negativity and bitterness. You have any clue what the geography was like back in the olden days? Wide open territories as depicted in the game with lots of land. Doesn't make it NOT beautiful. Go jerk your meat man so you become less bitter.
The game didn't go "straight to PC"... It took a year. And optimizing a game for an infinite amount of different PC setups is a hell of a lot more difficult than 1298391823 consoles all running the same shitty ass hardware.
I have the minimum cpu i5 660k and recommended gpu gtx 1060 and game still runs like crap, with hitches, freezes, some weird esc menu that only shows to half (which also shows up in game where if you look up or down and half the circle mini map gets cut off)
But because it runs flawless for you RS is beyond reproach.
I actually feel robbed as I bought it on ps4 on release and didnt experience this much crap on it. $160 and the platform I want to play it on which their specs say I should be able to runs like shit on all low settings.
I regret not waiting for the steam release for the refund, hopefully by that time they have this sorted.
Just the other day I was discussing matters with RDR2 with a friend where he stated the fact that people have been saying there was issues launching the game, that they couldn't get beyond the smoke of the double barrel shot gun at the start. I too experienced this and also found a simple solution; whitelist the game on the virus checker. We then had a lengthy conversation and debate about who was at fault; Rockstar or those who develop virus checkers? I personally feel it's the latter! It's not Rockstar's, or any game developers, responsibility to have their games on EVERY virus checker's whitelist in existence. Some are even unheard of and realistically, since they don't make these programs, it is those who do make them that should be doing their homework and making sure they're not blocking innocent programs themselves!
I find it laughable when people are quick to draw their guns, pun intended, whenever sh*t hits the fan, pardon the expression. I frankly grow tired of it and it's ruining the gaming community as it is also ruining the gaming industry. Pretty soon developers will just shut down and quit because of the masses of ungrateful people and those who feed off of minor setbacks for the sake of popularity.
After reading your specs I'm actually finding it funny and strange you didn't know before purchase you would have issues. Minimal requirement is certainly above the CPU you have and I have the exact same graphics card and had to tweak my game due to the lack of memory it has on it (minimal requirement is at least 3GB and recommended is 5GB). The required specs is clearly covered on the game site, as well as many others, and there is Can I Run It out there too so in my honest opinion you have no real excuse for not checking this yourself before purchasing the game. Frankly this is common sense now days. Infact if it were me selling the game I'd be quite harsh on refunding over such matters due to the problem being yours for not checking in the first place as it's quite clear to me that you hadn't.
Main reason I'm reflecting on what this person said is because once again we have someone who states they're not happy but when turns out it's not the developers at fault nor is it a game problem. I really wish people would start paying attention to what they do and say before they post about it because alot of people don't notice these things and start assuming that it's the game that's the problem and overlook the fact that these people don't do enough homework first of. Also, this isn't a personal attack and pointing fingers, merely pointing out his error and why many out there make such mistakes without thinking things through. Consider it constructive criticism and something to think about. However I do also want to state that what he replied to I agree on, the lack of a public test phase wasn't a good start for Rockstar or this game. Things as simple as not booting the game due to virus checker kicking in could have been discovered and resolved as well as people not being able to play due to low specs could have been looked at and maybe have an option to turn down the game even further. Infact considering the specs of an Xbox One I'm assuming the game should and could run on a lower end system? However I am still grateful to Rockstar for making the game far better looking on PC than it is on console and I'm sure if it didn't we'd have alot of players raging about that too.. I guess you can't please everyone.
I'm also running discord,chatty,stream avatars,epic games launcher, streamlabs obs, and my presision x program at the same time that I'm playing this with no issues.

That's because optimizing a game for 1 single system is a hell of a lot easier than the infinite variations of PC's. I mean, that's kinda common sense. Why do you think gaming companies prefer console? It's a hell of a lot easier to optimize for. With the ever changing PC components every few weeks when new shit comes out, Im not surprised PC games have issues. In fact it's expected with every PC release. I happen to be one of the lucky ones that's having hardly any issues at all(Minus the CTD every now and then)
