" Pre-purchases for Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC begin at 11AM ET on October 9th exclusively on the Rockstar Games Launcher through October 22nd."

"Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will also be available to pre-order at the Epic Games store, Greenman Gaming, the Humble Store, GameStop and additional digital retailers starting October 23rd with a pre-order bonus of 25 Gold Bars for Red Dead Online. Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC will also be available to purchase on Steam this December."
 
Oh thank god... I was worried this was going to be epic exclusive.
 
RDR2 on PC? I think I've just heard oinking in the sky.

5 November 2019 is too close a release date for a PC port by Rockstar, though. Usually it's delayed for like 6 months at least once. It makes me suspicious.

Then again, my PC won't be able to run it anyway, so I'll pass on it for now.
 
It's running like shit. I've got a 2060, I don't know why I can't run it at 1080p 60FPS with their default fucking balanced preset.

EDIT: Nevermind, it seems that setting the game to 60HZ magically drops the FPS somehow, even after locking the FPS to 60, while setting it to 75HZ causes the 60FPS lock to actually work. Fucking Rockstar.

Sorry to double post, but nope, none of that was fixed. Optimization is genuinely godawful, and I've heard tons of people are having issues where the game crashes on them. Fix your fucking shit Rockstar, this is how many times now?

So far no crash for me but some hard framerate drops to the point of making the game unplayable for several minutes.

That's apparently an i5 issue, I have the same problem. The "fix" is to disable two of your cores, but that tanks FPS and might as well be useless. Otherwise, the game runs at a consistent 60 for certain portions but then drop down to low 50s at others. It might be the water, it might be some random advanced setting, who knows. Rockstar ports always have this issue and they should have fixed it by now.
 
Can't even launch the game, Rockstar's shitty launcher crashes which prevents the game from starting.

GJ, Rockstar.

They put out a patch for that and it seems like it worked for no one. This entire thing is one glorious fuck up. The game drops to 1, count it (ONE), FPS if you have an i5. As usual, there seems to be like three settings that completely tank performance. There are tons of bugs for simply using DX12, which improves the frame rate for some people. I guess this is what happens when Rockstar doesn't constantly delay their releases, it's even more of a buggy piece of shit.

Sometimes, disabling your antivirus or logging out of the launcher and back in works.
 
I was gonna buy this game at launch, but then I remembered GTA4, so I decided to pick it up on a black friday sale or something.
 
Glad I decided to wait until the Steam release in December. Hopefully at least some of this bullshit will be ironed out by then.
 
Yes! I'll finally get to play a RDR game! But I have to wait until December, because fuck proprietary stores.
 
No character transfer from console to PC and no cross save functionality between the PC and console.

Not kosher at all.

I can't think of many games that have cross-save functionality, but no online character transfer is bullshit.

The only reason you wouldn't have character transfer is either A.) you're a lazy sonuvabitch or B.) you have cross-save functionality.

I know they lost a quite a few sales because there was no transfer... all in the efforts to "protect new players so there isn't a mishap like GTA Online". I dunno about you, but the griefing was terrible from the beginning regardless and having people far enough ahead won't change shit. Especially since GTA Online on PC is a fucking train wreck of modders and cheaters, they won't care if it's a bunch of newbies or not. They'll just hack themselves 500 Rank and just buy a shitton of everything.

Oh, you mean cross-save functionality as in your online character is recorded online and you can play online on either PC or console. I thought you meant cross-save functionality in the single player.
