But the game still crashes randomly, and one crash is certain every time when i go to the SAint Denis Saloon by the trapper, it crashes with ERR_GFX_STATE

Thanks friend :)

You forgot a new feature: Added warning that you need Nvidia driver 442.29

Could just be going blind here, But I dont see a beta listing for 442.29
442.19 (current release) still works though... lol

After the recent update my game experiences a lot stuttering. Before the patch the game ran smoothly. Cant seem to fix this issue. I've tried everything.

Yep, I got the same problem. That patch just made the game run worse. And it didn't even fix anything for me. Still got ERR_GFX_STATE crashes. thx rockstar, gj.

I'm hoping these issues get resolved. It's stupid that we have to deal with these known issues. I don't like complaining, but this is uncalled for especially when we buy these products and give them out money. That's like buying a new car but you dont get the motor or transmission lol.

They need to put high priority on fixing the ERR_GFX_STATE crash during the Sadie mission at the saloon. I'm on my third run of the story and it still does it. I get past that part by turning all of the game's graphics to the lowest. I turn them back up once a little distance from the saloon.

i7-8700K
16GB DDR4
RTX 2080 Ti
driver 442.19


My hardware can handle the high settings. I shouldn't have to lower them.

btw I had success getting past progression-blocking ERR_GFX_STATE by choosing Vulkan. But it runs terribly otherwise, so I usally switch back to dx12.

im actually happy with the update cuz i got few frames and gameplay in towns isnt choppy anymore
