RDR 1 - Finally playable from beginning to end on PC -

[Schrute_Farms_B&B]

If you were living under a rock like my humble self, you might have missed that RDR is finally playable on PC.
Ive waited so long and it would always crash mid game for the last years.
But time went by, and were now able to play trough this entire masterpiece on XENIA. RPCS3 seems also to run much better compared to the last year but not near as good as the Xbox emu.
It makes you wonder how the devs of XENIA made that possible without the funds of the RPCS3-emulator team.
Hats off.

Camping/Grass issues seem to be fixed, at least for game version [5454082B]. Honestly, this looks much better than the GOTY version on the PS-store.

HD-Processing on Youtube takes forever. I guess youll able to watch the clips on 1440p and 4K in a week or something. -_-.....

Xenia : 4K presets - DX12 - FXAA maxed out - AVG. FPS : 52 [until end of game] - GPU bound - Github[github.com] -

RPCS3 : 4K presets upscaled [only 720p native possible] - VULKAN - FXAA maxed out - AVG. FPS : 35 [until mid-game] - CPU bound - Github[github.com]

You can easily get to 60-80 FPS on lower resolutions like 720p or 480p but it doesnt look too good. Just astonishing how a game which was build for and with 30 FPS can be pushed beyond its limits and its still working just fine.

Tested on :
5950X
6900XTXH
RPCS3 v0.0.21
Xenia 2022.04.28

edit : Added missing information.

edit II : Added AMD RSR clip - 1440p - FXAA balanced
AMD did a pretty good job with the implementation of the RSR feature. Textures still look crisp and youll get better performance. Even if your card doesnt support RSR, turning off FSR and using bilinear interpolation will gain more performance with a marginal cost of image quality.

Just wait.
RDR1 is getting an overhaul - and likely a port/rework to PC.

From what I've seen above - No Thanks.

If I have to play as Dumbass John - It's gonna have to "WOW" me from one end to the other.

Pardon my ignorance but I still don't get it. So I buy RDR1 from where and for what platform. Do I then need to buy an X Box or whatever and download an emulator and buy a lead to play on a PC?

If you have a decent PC you don't have to buy anything more. Game ISO can be let's say 'borrowed' from other users, just don't tell Rockstar about it. Keyboard and mouse is configured as a virtual gamepad so you don't need a physical one. All the required steps are in this guide https://ant-sh.blogspot.com/2021/05/play-rdr-1-on-pc.html

No reason to apologize.
You just need to
1. download a emulator,
2. and use a Iso file from RDR.

You can either mountyour RDR disc (if you own the game) or download the game.
The reason why I dont tell you to type "RDR ISO XBOX360 DOWNLOAD" into Google is because its technically not legal.

Its an ethical decision and up to you.

Settings on RPCS3?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Use the XENIA Emu; the one that emulates PS3 is terrible.

Thanks for this guide. I just tried to get this working for RPCS3 and I downloaded 3 versions and the game won't even boot? Anyone know a site with a good version to dl?

Can I have the settings you used for the GPU one? Or can I have a copy of the settings config for canary?

I dont have those settings anymore due to hardware change but the settings are pretty straight forward.
Just open the xenia.config file and change the values to your likings. There are also some Youtube clips which help you for starters.
Dont use pre-config files from other users. Every PC is unique and those settings depend on your hardware.

I've played it on Yuzu and Ryujinx and it ran great for me from beginning to end, have yet to try Undead Nightmare yet as I'm waiting to see if this game gets announced for PC in the next few months and if not, going to fire up Undead Nightmare and move on.

While it is true that RDR 1 is being released for PC but as a port and not as a remaster, playing it on a emulator is and will be a decent alternative for all folks who

- do not want to pay 50 bucks for a 14 year old port, which is not even a remastered version of the game

In addition to that, the emulator version also comes with a

- native 4k support
- 144hz support
-ultrawide support
-keyboard and mouse support
- FSR support

and you wont need to be online/ no need for Rockstar/3rd party launchers in order to be able to play the game.
And they wont charge you anything, if you already own a copy of RDR.

I am not saying that people should not buy the official PC port, Im gonna do that myself during the next sale just to have this masterpiece in my library, but that the emulator version is still a pretty good alternative if you want to enjoy this game without spending 50 bucks.
Folks are playing RDR on PC for years now, and its getting better optimized each and every year.

Doesnt look too shabby, does it?
