Thanks for the quick reply! I thought I had to sell him the claw in order to have him craft the trinket? Is there a separate crafting menu or must I do something else in order to unlock crafting?

Oh whoops, it's been a while. You're on the right track, but you need a couple more items to make the talisman. I'm not sure if you can look them up in game or not, but there are recipe lists floating around out there that'll tell you what all you need.

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.
Question for anyone who was getting the stuttering/freezing issue: is it still happening? I’m about 5-6 missions into chapter 2 and it’s gradually gotten better to the point where it’s hardly happening at all now, maybe one or twice an hour. First time through Valentine was the roughest, that took about 30 minutes for 5 minutes of gameplay, but now it seems okay?

I’ve tried a few of the posted solutions like turning off CPU cores and the like, and none actually helped.

This game is just as slow and methodical that I hoped it would be.

Coming out from a recent GTA V playthrough, I’ve gotten a bit of whiplash because the quality in world building and writing is astounding, when compared to GTA. I am incredibly happy that this is so much more than “GTA with horses!”

Booted up to remind myself how this works :v:

Go to fence, you should have a craft option under the sell and buy options. Choose that and you'll see which parts you need to make each trinket.

I feel like this game is the prime example of this. I played it on X-box for a bit but the gunplay was so lovely and sluggish that I just stopped and prayed to baphomet that they'd release it on PC. And sure enough, things like "having to fight 2 or more things in the open" went from annoyingly difficult to enjoyable when I could actually accurately swing my gun around to more than one target before getting shot dead :v: .

Only 1 benchmark per purchase. Sorry.

There is apparently a bug where you can only run the benchmark once, and then you have to restart the game in order to run it again.

Came across a man being mauled by a wolf. After bungling around in Deadeye, I finally shot the wolf in the rear end and made it run away. Offered the man some medicine, which he angrily slapped out of my hand before croaking. I then tried to calm down my skittish horse, pressed the wrong button and socked her in the jaw. 10/10 GOTY.

Also, can anyone tell me if there's a way to see if I'm wearing appropriate clothing for the temperature? An icon or something? I sometimes get a message saying I'm too hot, but it disappears quickly. I know how to check the temperature, but don't know if I'm correctly dressed for it.

By hitting ALT you'll bring up the HUD which will tell you what the temperature is at. If you're too hot or too cold for a climate, a little icon (either a sun or a snowflake) will flash over your health core. Certain pieces of clothing will also tell you how warm they are, so while you can sometimes wear a jacket out in Rhodes, wearing a heavier fur one will get you hotter faster. You just gotta gauge it on your own. It's not too big a deal in my experience.

that's not nature's way
Game is still stuttering hard for me even after the fix. Instead of pausing for 30 seconds at a time, now it does it for a few seconds at a time more frequently. And DX12 works a bit better, but starts giving me some crazy bright red and green particle effects in the opening snowstorm (which is maybe my poor 970 saying "no mas"). Whomp.

Edit: trying again in Vulkan with slightly reduced settings, and it appears that the hard stuttering and such is only happening at the beginning of gameplay stretches (and in cutscenes). Once things get going, it's buttery smooth.

Thank you, that makes sense. I guess the icon was just too small for me to notice before it went away. It was IMO a good decision to limit the amount of information on the screen. It feels much more immersive this way.


Fake edit: Came across two campers, accidentally aimed gun at one of them while trying to target him for a greeting, tried and failed to defuse the situation and now they're vulture lunch :shrug:

Just verified my error by that I can play the online mode without problems, but it crashes on load in singleplayer. Also there seem to be no way to restart the singleplayer or load another save? I guess the developers are inspired by Kafkas the Trial.

Had me a fun time trying to hunt deer for what felt like an hour, pulling back the bow only for the game to freeze and then unfreeze as Arthur's arm was worn out. Rinse, repeat, over and over again.

Port's fine except for all the hitching (and crashing for some of you), like my framerate seems like it'd be good if they sort that one problem out.

If anyone experience the same problem as me. You can restart the progress by opening the save game folder, under settings in the rockstar launcher, and deleting all the files there. It will reset your progress. However you must ofcourse determine yourself if its worth the hassle to do everything over.

OK what the hell

as a last resort attempt, I thought I'd DOWNGRADE my bios, as some people reported it working this way

and it does

actually no, it gives a new and more exciting error message, but at least the launcher doesn't crash anymore

MSI B450 Gaming Pro Carbon AC
Ryzen 2600X
16 GB Ram
EVGA 1080 FTW

I had the "new" bios which has no graphics (because they couldn't fit it togheter with new 3XXX CPU support), I went back to an old version - 7B85v16 - and now the game just tells me that it doesn't have permission to access some folder, and I think I can solve that relatively easily

so it appears, at least from users with AMD cpus and mobos, that bios really is the culprit - you must either get an old (pre-1.0.0.3 AGESA) or new (1.0.0.4 AGESA) version, and 1.0.0.4 it's not even available for all mobos, that's why I had to go the downgrade route

:confused: first time I have a bios update be actually important for running stuff... it's weird

Edit: permission thing solved by running the launcher as administrator, how in the hell did they manage to gently caress up THIS hard? :rockstar: well now I can get in game, but I have to go to work like, right now :( will be playing (I hope) this evening...

Also getting the hitching bugs, and the benchmark nearly died when it was going through the town. I've heard that setting down all the volumetric and reflections settings can help a lot. Haven't tested it out yet, but it seems to make sense and I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Goodluck cowpokes

Had some teething troubles initially - crashed at the first animation, the one with the smoke plumes. Already had the latest Nvidia drivers installed at that time.

Set the .exe to admin rights and deactivated full screen optimizations. Did not help.

Updated my Asus Z390 board to the latest Bios. Did nothing.

Deactivated Avast anti-virus. That fixed it.

----------------------------------------------

Still messing around with the controls and trying to find an ideal graphics setting. Also there is no way to change the game language, unless I set my Windows to the language I want. German Windows, but I play most of my games in English, cause of better voice acting and every drat game has a language slider or at least a command parameter. Only this game does not. And it also cannot be set in the Rockstar launcher.

The little details in this game are weird. There's a tree west of Wallace station with pots and pans hanging on it and a kettle at the base.

Also, hope they clear the bugs up for PC players. I've been playing this game almost non-stop since launch and that is incredibly rare for me. The only other game I've spent this much time on is Witcher 3.

It's amazing to me how much this game has forced many people to update parts of their PC (myself included). I don't think AC: Odyssey had this kind of trouble.

Two important questions about this game on PC (keyboard and mouse):

Can you still quick-draw directly into dead eye (the duel mechanic?)

Can you still double tap holster to have Arthur do the fancy gun twirl when you holster your pistol?

Yeah it makes no sense at all, but unfortunately I do want to play this pretty badly and since I don't have a 3XXX CPU I don't mind going back to the old bios; things always worked smoothly for me with this hardware anyway, I kept it updated more out of habit than anything else.

But to gently caress up a launch SO MUCH that apparently random things fix it (for someone it's disabling AV software, for some upgrading BIOS, or downgrading BIOS, or giving launcher / game administrator privileges, or spinning three times while praying to the Elder Gods ...) is pretty bad for a company the size of Rockstar

I noticed that their launcher doesn't support a friends list (as far as I can tell) or anything like that. If you want to add new friends, you have to go to the website and invite them via email or through other social accounts. It's a real hassle.
