Graphical Glitch
I've just got RDR2, have got all the recommended specs, but when I play the graphics flicker and are messed up. I don't think it's to do with my hardware because every other game I own, runs perfectly fine. If anyone knows a fix for this, please let me know!

Nope it has to do with the latest f**** online patches if you mean shadow and lightning flickering!

Yeah that's it. So there's nothing I can do at the moment until it's patched again?

Nope first i thought it was a driver issue, but sadly it's not, we have to wait for a fixed SP patch....

Footage of the graphical issues at hand is helpful when creating topics like this. I too experience said shadow flickering caused by the recent patch(es) but it's occasional and mostly occurs at the gang's camp only. Lighting has the tendency to flicker / switch between light and dark shades seemingly randomly, too. Based off what you wrote however it seems to me the flickering you experience occurs far more frequently than that? It's difficult to offer proper support without knowing or seeing exactly what you're trying to troubleshoot.

Is smoke flickering for you as well? That too is among the problems caused by recent patches.

For me it's smoke and fire flickering, lighting bugs, reflection bugs on eyeglasses, eye glitches etc. I'll show you some screenshots soon!

Yeah, I've got all of those as well. The smoke and lighting bugging out only started with the most recent patch in my game, but it matches up with the reports and footage others have posted of it. Haven't tested if switching APIs makes a difference, but I'm currently using DX12 (used to use Vulkan). Haven't seen the singleplayer campaign this broken since I first started playing not long after the console launch almost 2 years ago. One would expect a more polished game than this after it being out for soon to be 2 years total, and almost 1 on PC. It's certainly possible OP is dealing with the exact same issues many / all of us are caused by those recent updates. The eyes and glasses are messed up all across the board.

Anyhow, my point is that footage is always useful! Helps speeding this stuff up or merely just diagnosing it properly.

Horse eyes are bugged too.

For me trees and dark textures flicker and shimmer like pulsating film grain is the only way i can describe it. Its really annoying and i honestly cannot play the game when it looks this bad, i cant even see details on some stuff cause its just a vibrating grainy mess.

Turn on TAA to medium or high should fix it.

I have the game on RGL and I've noticed that a persons eyes can glitch and become red and look like they don't have eyes. I've noticed another glitch with glasses where the lens looks white but if the camera is behind the glasses wearer then you can see through them.

Same here, and with the same theory that are patches related, played a little bit when i bought it on pc release, back then the common one was the lighting on the horse cars flicking at a distance, now when i came back is the eyes of some characters going demonic in story mode and some flicking textures in interiors.
