This is why I never play online games on opening day lol

It's not even just the online mode though. People can't even launch the game to get to the point where they can select online.

[cramx3]

My friend said its working for him but not optimized at all.  It's playing very poorly for his rig essentially.

That's even worse. Jesus...

From what I've gathered so far, the majority of the issues are coming from conflicts with Windows 10's anti virus software.

I honestly expected this to be a fairly spotless launch. Surely in a years worth of time a studio can make a decent port these days, given the PS4/Xbox are so close to a PC in terms of architecture.

It is what it is I guess, i'm not suprised. Was the console launch the same? I can't remember.

Performance issues but the game worked well. There was a persistent bug where some characters disappeared permanently from the camp though, locking you out of their dialouges in camp (which is a massive bummer). I redid about an hour of gameplay to fix that. Thankfully, I am the type that keeps as many saves as possible.

The MP launched some time later to lukewarm response. But I think it worked when it launched.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

You know I don't wanna be that guy but I got in on my first try. 

I did as some of you mentioned refunded my Epic copy and bought through R* instead. My friend who also bought trough Epic can't launch the game and have been trying for the last couple of hours meanwhile I just got home and booted up the game on my first try, my friend is a bit bitter to say the least. 

[cramx3]

  I wonder how many are fucked because they are using Epic launcher

[Dublagent66]

Never had a problem with it on my PS4.

[Chino]

First world problem: I have to decrypt my download, and it's taking longer than I want it to. It's at about 25%. It'd be at least 35% by now if I didn't stop on the way home to vote.

Yeah, I'm in the process of decrypting now too. We shall see if I can start the game in a few minutes...

[King Puppies and the Acid Guppies]

Well, I was able to get in to RDR 2 and play for a bit just fine. No issues here.

That's a shame.

[SystematicThought]

I wish I could've played the first game and then played the second back to back. I haven't played the first game since it came out and I didn't remember any details from the first game or any of the characters except for John Marston.

I hadn't played the first game since it came out, so I couldn't remember very much at all while playing RDR2. After watching some YouTube videos on the topic, it's amazing how they tied everything together and it all makes sense. Like Chino said, maybe we'll get a remaster where it's a seamless transition. Actually, it would be really cool to have RDR2 lead directly into RDR1

[ReaperKK]

I played rdr2 first and played rdr1 right after finishing rdr2. It is really cool to see how everything was tied together.

[Chino]

I played Chapter 1 in RDR2 last night. Still great after a year.   

I'm a little bummed with my visuals though. It's weird. The game plays well. Most everything as far as graphics go is set to high, with a few ultras thrown in there. I'm averaging around 53ish fps. The game just doesn't look good though. It's like it's trying to look really good, and everything is moving very nicely, but it just seems rather blah. How much of a difference does a good monitor actually make? Mine is no great shakes. I bought it without intending to game on it. This is what I have:

I was thinking about upgrading to this one:

Any thoughts?

[cramx3]

I don't think it's your computer. It's the game not being optimized. My friend can't crack 60fps and his rig is all top of the line stuff.

[Chino]

I saw this comment on Reddit, maybe it'll help your friend.

"I've had terrible fps since launch and i've finally found the issue... MSAA. Turn it off and use TAA.

Also another thing that hits FPS hard is Water Physics Simulation.

Also I'm pretty sure I asked this earlier in the thread, but do we have a Discord server that we want to use for grouping up in Red Dead Online? If not I can make one.

Someone will also need to make our Posse in game. Again I can do this too if you would like.

I'm in for a discord if you want to set that up. I wouldn't mind running a posse when the time comes. Can we be called Barstool Warriors?   


Sidebar: There was a 2.6GBish update today. I managed to get my texture settings to ultra and the game is looking pretty decent. I still attribute some of the shittiness to my monitor though. Anyway, I've been messing around with photo mode and it's the tits.

That's a nice shot. I'm working on a Discord Server now. It can be an unofficial official DTF gaming discord server! 

I'll send out invites to the server you will just have to PM me your discord usernames I believe.

In my opinion, a screen can have massive impact on a games graphics. I will never forget the time I got my Dad's tv back in the PS3 days. I gamed on a 300 dollar full HD lcd Samsung tv and my dad's was also a full HD lcd, but one from Sony cost like a thousand bucks, bought at the same time. The difference was really big. And that screen (still kicking in my bedroom) looks better than the cheaper 4k tv's I see around me running PS4. It is not just all about resolution/screen refreshment rates. The quality of coloring is hugely important in my view.

Good HDR can also be a bliss, but there are unfortunately a lot of variations between games. RDR2's HDR used to be garbage (not sure how it is now).

There actually is DTF discord server, although not for gaming.  I'm seemingly not able to log into their website to get links but I game with friends (and Chino on occasion) in a server already if you wanted to use that as well.  I'll be on Saturday afternoon (after the PSU game at noon, or maybe before in the morning if I get the update all set up). 

[Chino]

I'm out of work at 5:30 on Saturday and intend to be on in the evening.

[cramx3]

I'm pretty tired and other than wanting to watch that colllege football game saturday, I have a clean slate for the weekend and honestly don't want to leave my house.  Also realizing I have no friday night makes me want to do that even more.  Ive got some edibles back home and I just want to veg and play this game.

[Chino]

Just an FYI for first time players... you can't play online until you reach a certain point in the campaign.

Not a huge deal as I do want to play through the campaign and I've got to learn the ropes, but how long does it take to get there roughly?  Just so I know what to expect

I just Googled it. I think I might be completely misremembering from when I played it like a year ago. I looks like there's a short mission/story you have to complete online before it lets you just roam the world.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I did a little side mission trying to save a runaway horse and as I was about to calm it down I accidently hit the horse instead and scared it away....mission failed!

I actually made up a Discord server last night called The Barstool Warriors specifically for DTF Gaming, if we want to use that. I can send out invites to whoever wants to use it.

And I'm home now, if anyone wants to jump in some Red Dead Online.

[cramx3]

yea ill join this weekend, you are in the US?  I think thats my only concern is lag if any of the DTFers are overseas

Damn. I was online all last night . I didn't see this post. I ended up hooking up with a few guys in a posse last night and we had a really good time playing. The game seems to run much better online than in the campaign. There must be less stuff going on or something.   

I should be on tonight too.

I should be around for a bit tonight. I'll PM you an invite to the discord server I made.

Looks like shit came up tomorrow, I might not be on much at all now until Sunday.
