I'm guessing that in the year since release they haven't changed the mission scoring-system so that it isn't insane and tedious to consider mastering?

The answer is, mate, because I want to do you slowly. There has to be a bit of sport in this for all of us. In the psychological battle stakes, we are stripped down and ready to go. I want to see those ashen-faced performances; I want more of them. I want to be encouraged. I want to see you squirm.

My friend said the game's over 100gb, can anyone confirm?

Yeah it’s 109gb, no word yet on whether there’ll be a day 0 patch, or even what it’ll need to unlock. Given that Rockstar didn’t even bother giving a release time until 9 hours after some folks should’ve been playing, I’m not super hopeful

One nice thing about the Rockstar launcher - I'm getting over double the download speeds I typically get from Steam.

Last minute decision time for me.

How OP are some of these pre order bonuses? I'm trying to talk myself into getting this, since I've waited a year to play it but I'm honestly not convinced the free upgrade from Rockstar is worth it. I've got a few buddies going in blind like I am and I seriously doubt the online component will be a selling point for any of us other than a week of fuckoffery.

After seeing GTAV price drop after it's PC launch, knowing its jank as hell Rockstar controls, I just can't muster the oh my god feeling for some reason.

The bonus that extends your tracking vision is incredibly useful. It's why I have the premium edition of the game on PC and Xbox.

I mean you might as well get the Special Edition since it's a free upgrade from the base game. The Ultimate Edition extras are really just for multiplayer so if you don't plan to play it, then just stick with the Special Edition. Assuming you can still get it as a free upgrade.

Yeah, pretty dumb question on my part now that I think about it. I didn't see the compare editions link on the pre order page and that told me what the difference was.

Snaked in a pre order just in time.

Download and Decrypt starting now. Restart the Rockstar client.

edit: It took about 15 minutes to decrypt on a Samsung Evo 860 M.2

I am pretty happy that I came home during lunch break for the Nvidia driver, because decrypting is taking a loooong time. If I left it for after work I'd be cursing at the screen for 30-60 minutes or so, I guess, since it took 10 minutes just to decrypt 20GB out of 109GB

I got the special edition + free LA Noire directly from Rockstar, as it was the same price everywhere else (maybe I could have saved 5€? LA Noire alone is worth much more than that to me), but didn't spring for the extra 15€ for the Ultimate edition, I hope I won't miss the multiplayer perks and freebies too much (I'm focusing on singleplayer anyway, plan on messing around online a bit but not make it my main focus at least for now)

It’s about a 20 minute decrypt for me, currently at 80/109 and it’s been going for 13 minutes. Although people on reddit are saying there’s a 3gb patch to download as well, rip in peace my bandwidth for the month

Nobody has played it yet.

You have the minimum processor and recommended video card, so probably like 1080p30, but with high graphics settings?

Does the GTX 1060 support Nvidia's BallsWorks™ ? Horse testicles physics can be quite resource-intensive

Nobody knows how well optimised it is either, so it could be GTAV level quality, or it could be GTA IV level quality :v:

And yes - there’s an extra 3gb to download once decrypting finishes. Another 20 minutes to wait!

The speed at which this game loads compared to GTA V is loving hilarious. GTA V I have to go do something while waiting for it to load and join a server. This took 30 seconds.

DX12 benchmark on Ultra Settings plus MSAA*2 and additionally everyting manually set on Ultra/Max because the preset does NOT put everything on Maximum:

55 fps average on 2560*1440 and 4800 MB VRAM on a 2080Ti Zotac non oc and 9900K non oc.

Visually stunning, truly next gen graphics. I played this on the PS4 pro, where it was beautiful as well, but the PC Version maxed it out of contest, as expected.

Oh god, not again.

I'm running a 1080TI and a 9800k and I'm getting some disappointing results. 30fps or so @ 1440p everything on ultra.

Can anyone check the performance tab of task manager while running? My GPU is only getting up to 30% and my CPU is only getting to 20% or so, really weird.

Someone up thread had a similar issue. Disabling their antivirus (in this case, Avast) temporarily allowed them to launch the game.

I went looking for the answer to this on reddit but didn't see it in a cursory glance. If GTA on PC has support for it, I imagine they would do the same for Red Dead too.


Downloading the 3GB now but I also have to make some phone calls, which is fine. I can spend the time on hold making my lady look amazing. Come join us on the Discord if you haven't already: https://discord.gg/yRkJgbk

Anyone else having issues with the game freezing? I’ll be playing fine for a few minutes and then everything will freeze up for a few seconds. The sound keeps going but the visuals freeze, then eventually it recovers and keeps going. Until the next time it freezes.

What I’ve played so far has been great otherwise, just wish I could stop it freezing!

It’s happening worse in cut scenes which doesn’t make any sense, the first couple of shoot-outs have been fine
