absolute buggy crashing mess

[Native]

Don't get me wrong this game is very good when it runs, but it seems to me that every single time a graphics driver or update comes out the game brakes and you have to be some kind software engineer to get it running again. I don't understand the lazyness of Rockstar games. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the embodiment of what AAA means yet they cant even do what an indie company does and fix these issues.

I play Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4Pro and was considering buying it again on PC, but posts like these make me very hesitant to do so.

There are a few developers i refuse to buy games from now and Rockstar is one of them, this is the last game i will ever buy from them. I'm tired of giving these people my money i don't even care about new content i just want them to fix the game. Had to exit out of the game three times today because of the stable bug.

I get it sometimes games can be buggy been playing games long enough to know that but the fact that a billion dollar company couldn't care less about their customers when it comes to broken mechanics and hackers is very annoying.

I know Rockstar don't care about losing one customer that's their choice but where i spend my money is mine and it wont be with them.

I play RDR2 on PS4Pro but not with a controller, I use Xim Apex emulation software, which allows you to play the game on PS4 with a keyboard and mouse. Works very good, except for some things that I wish worked better, like for instance the "Dead Eye" Fill meter is difficult to emulate for a keyboard.
My hope is (was) that the PC version would solve the whole problem by offering a perfect PC port, but as I understand from other comments, the PC version is not all that great. It has bugs, launcher issues, Rockstar account issues, and even the controls seem to be little more than a few emulated controller commands, in order words nothing I do not own already.

I only bought the game yesterday and this entire forum seems to be full of complaint.

Righteous of course if the game is failing all over the place. I just don't get it. I must be the one lucky player with zero issues.

I mentioned yesterday this business being pushed around online of newer spec PC's and specifically newer RTX cards seemingly making games unplayable.

My spec isn't bad but it's definitely not new. I am thinking that might be the saving grace.

Well that's a hopeful sign, I still haven't decided against buying the PC version

Over 45 million copies of RDR2 have been sold, Even with a conservative estimate 10% of sales went to PC, that's 4.5 million copies. Place that number along side every post complaining of inability to play and the complaints seem insignificant in comparison. Still it stinks for those not able to play.

For me, I have been playing on my laptop since the game became available and have had zero problems starting and playing.

Out of 20 hrs I've played I had only crashes related to one specific side mission, where I had to duel the pig farmer for the interview. After the specific cut-scene the game always crashed to desktop; I found a solution to simply skip that cut-scene and I had no more crashes. Still, I'm only in chapter three now, so, who knows...
