why do they not let you change your graphic settings at all (Solved)

[REALiNSaNgAMingGODPrODIgY]

like all my hours in this game is trying to learn the graphics settings and how to do it but even if i just turn of motion blur it tells me to retstart so i restart and then it says i have no memory and then crash.

this is so annoying i just want to run the game on the lowest performance settings and run on high fps.

but this game won't let me.

like i am legit forced to play on the default settings because the game legit won't let me change any of the graphic settings since then it tells me i am out of memory, like i can't even turn off motion blur.


6 hours just trying to run the game god i hate my life why is this a thing when this game came out so long ago.


why give us options to change the settings when all it does is ether reset the next launch or crash the game duo to "out of memory".


so salty

Edit: dx12 is garbage and vulken should be the one you are using + in vulken you cant use steam overlay since its a bug but you can lower all the settings for max fps.

Whats your gpu and how much Vram.
The graphics settings >on the left shows how much Vram is being used.
Update your gpu drivers.
Example. my gpu back then had only 3 gig Vram and updating the drivers helped with some settings.
This is just an example to show the Vram used on the left.

8 gb of vram and drivers are always updated.

something in the game is preventing me from changing any graphic settings and idk why.

aka if i go and turn of motion blur it will tell me to restart the game which i do and then when it relaunchs it says i have no memory when i checked before restarting and its at 4 gb.


so even if i lower all the settings to all low aka lowest performace aka all the way to the left of the slide and turn down some other settings it will tell me to restart and then i do and then it says i have no memory.


if i change any of the graphic settings and restart it will say i have no memory even tho i just change 1 thing or lower the settings to like 2 gb of vram out of 8 gb.



this game is just bad at changing settings with out crashing i guess idk what is wrong with me changing the settings.

Considering they force us to sign into the Rockstar Social Club you would think there would be a way to edit graphics presets from there before you open the game. But that would be far too sensible.

Change the graphics settings while at the Main Menu.
Not once you are in the game world.
This game will not allow you to change Graphics related settings on-the-fly while the game world has been loaded (Story or Online). So do that by clicking Story and then Settings.

I can't see why you'd have a tough time figuring out what settings is good for your hardware when compared to other games.

Changes to the Camera and Audio settings can be done when in the game world though, as this is saved to a separate file. For example I liked having the music in Story Mode, but it can get somewhat loud and annoying at times in the Online. So I have the SFX @ 100% and then changed the Music volume to around 20-30%, while in the game world, no problem.

you miss understood, i change the graphic settings in the start menu and then moved the slider to the left and lower every single thing for max performance and then restart.

but when i restart the game claims i have no memory left when i actually in fact was using 2 gb of my 8 gb of vram.


i want to run on everything off or low to max out the highest possible fps to have it run like silk but instead it just crashs after restart and says i have no memory.


i do this every game since idc about graphics but the sweet fps but this game is so annoying it won't let me run on everything low or off and just keep saying i have no memory and forces me to use safe mode and turn everything back to default.

i liked this in borderlands so much, atleast the older ones since he can do it pre game so you don't have to restart.

prob a bug in the game so it actually would be so nice i can set all the settings to low in the launcher and then it would have no reason to crash in game.

Delete the Settings.XML file in your Documents folder for this game.
Then launch the game and change your settings again.
Do not set the game to DX12, leave it on Vulkan and you won't have a problem.

why changeing to dx12 sucks, that makes no sense since dx12 should be better since its a older api than vulken or am i wrong.

Because RDR2 is a port. It was not designed from the ground-up for DX12.
When you use the DX12 API option in this game, you are usually going to run into an Out of Memory issue. I've tried it even on $5000 PCs with all the latest CPU + GPU (12GB VRAM) and 64GB of system RAM. This game still has this same issue of out of memory if I apply the DX12 API setting.

Todays Console Ports mostly use Vulkan, because they were designed to run on Sony PS and MS Xbox, which all use AMD hardware.

There is not a real down-side to Vulkan. Doom-2016 has proven that much.
