Red Dead Redemption II PC performance thread

I can't get 5.1 to show up in my options at all. Just headphones and stereo.
do you have your windows set to 5.1? After the last Nvidia update it reverted mine to 2.0 and when I was playing RDR2 I was like why is it only in stereo, after resetting my speaker setup in sound control panel surround was back.
There is no option just if you have your windows set up to 5.1 it will use all the channels automatically.
Though if you have it set to 5.1 it allows you to adjust speaker location.
Sat down with the new patch for the first time today and it seems like the mane and tail on my horse look significantly "grainier" and less soft than I remember? Does anyone know what might be causing this?
edit - actually the game seems more aliased in general, even though I still have the same 16x AA and TAA set to medium enabled

I am not sure if it's the patch or the fact I was using the Hardware Unboxed settings but it was the first time I managed the benchmark to get constant 60 fps at 4K. I will probably still use the 5/6 resolution scale as the actual game is a bit more demanding at times.
Anybody who is still struggling to find the best settings should definitely try the HUB suggestion.

I've seen that a couple times after recent patch. It's like it's culling lights when it shouldn't be
okay, for those of you who bought the game off of the Epic Game Store and still have the mouse cursor problem - this fix worked instantly for me:
Regarding this crash. Still happening on newest drivers and game patch.
But I've been working with Nvidia on it and they've been really great. Rockstar on the other hand not at all. But good news is Nvidia has proven it's a legit game bug. Response I have just gotten back from them:
and now that I have got home today, the game freezes during launch.
as i tried to launch the launcher gave me a conflict of save files message (I DLed the latest from the cloud)
then the freeze.....
its when you have a loading bar at the bottom of the screen.
Ive verified integrity of files. can someone help? everything was finally awesome and now its gone..... just as quickly...... :(
I don't know if it's the issue, but I have noticed a couple times on exit that the game very briefly displays an "ALERT" screen and then immediately exits so I can't see what it says. Every time it happens, the next time I start it I get the error about save file discrepancy between local and the cloud. I've always selected local and it works for me after that. So I don't know if perhaps your cloud save was corrupted and now it's causing a loading issue? I don't know of a fix for that though.
Are you on a Ryzen CPU? I've been having 5.1 issues in a ton of games with Sound Blaster Z, and it looks like it's not all that rare, especially with MSI and Gigabyte motherboards.
The "muffled" voices you're experiencing is likely it getting routed into the wrong channel. Had it a lot in Gears 5, to the point where I'm running games in stereo until I find a fix.
Yeeup, 2700x here, on a MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC mobo.
Thing is, this is the first recent release I've had these issues with. Control, Outer Worlds, and Jedi Fallen Order all sound fine.
Check out this thread, has a few trouble shooting tips. It looks like BIOS updates fixed it for a few Sound Blaster types (not the Z like I have though).
The 16 bit thing seems to help delay it, in my experience.
I think I'm just going to uninstall this for now and wait for the game to mature a bit, and for that hilarious/baffling framerate weight loss bug to get fixed. That honestly killed any momentum I had wanting to keep playing this.

Still getting random crashes. Lost a good bit of progress last night hunting in the open world.
Anyone stop playing the game at 60+ fps after it was discovered that certain features are tied to the framerate? I'm thinking of just capping it at 30fps. It's gonna hurt, but fuck it. I'll get used to it lol. :(
Core drain. https://www.reddit.com/r/PCRedDead/comments/dwjp1t/i_think_ive_just_made_a_discovery_about_a_big/
I personally haven't noticed it being all that worse than when I played it on PS4, so there's no way I'm going to stop playing this game at 60fps for it.
Nah I'm good. I don't mind actually having a use for all the food I'm always carrying around.
Good to hear!
Also, do you mind sharing your specs, graphic settings, and fps that you got? I'm planning to get RDR 2 in the near future, so I just want to prepare my rig XD
i got my first crash today on a very long mission and i hated to have to do it all again, now im saving way more often
I got to the epilogue today and played at 60 the whole time, the cores do drain a bit faster then they did on the ps4 but it's still super generous and I always had way more provisions then I needed. Honestly it's better, the cores were 100% ignoble on ps4
Still only in chapter 2 but been running fine capped at 30FPS with mostly high and ultra settings and resolution scaled up at 1080x1.5 on my OC'd 2500k and 1070.
Wonder if that happens in online play. I haven't noticed it, but I'll keep an eye on it better.
Repurchased the game because I'm a sucker. Online works great for me, no crashes. I haven't tried the story since my fiasco. Does online run better than the campaign, I'm too lazy to test, but I had bad stutters in towns which seem to be gone online.
Thinking about doing this, if i cap it at 30, i could run it at native 4K. Hmmm
Theres supposed to be a launcher patch coming which fixes HDR on Vulcan. I can get it to work on DX12 no problem, but I drop below 60 vs Vulkan. Anyone know when the patch is out? Tried HDR again on Vulkan and its still broken.
make sure tree tessellation is off or lowest, they added a new setting for tree tessellation
I tried 30fps for a couple of hours and it was fine. But then I went back to an uncapped frame rate with slightly lower settings and the difference was night and day. For me frame rate is king above all else, even if it's a little buggy.
I'm having an issue that actually popped up right before the previous patch released and continues to be an issue. Sometimes when I load my game the second the loading is finished I get a crash with a dialog message telling me the game needs to be rebooted. It will continue to do that everytime I load the game. Oddly enough the thing that appears to work around the issue is to run the benchmark to completion and then the game will load without issue. Has anyone else experienced this issue? It's now happened 3 times to me.
