Sounds like a video card or video card driver issue.

Thanks for the tip. I tried rolling back my driver and it actually got rid of the swarming pixels. I fully expect to see them again cos the randomness of this thing drives me crazy, but fingers crossed

The stuttering fix works for me when Process Lasso didn’t, even though they say it’s a fix for nvidia cards. I can finally get online without being kicked every time there’s a cutscene. I stole a player’s horse just to see what would happen, but after 10 seconds of riding it faded out right from under me :confused:

There are, amusingly enough, GTAO style horse lockout controls under the Stable portion of the player menu (L), including force dismounting.

gently caress me. 100% unplayable now. If I use DX, I get infinite loading screens. If I use Vulkan, it loads but I get a weird screen full of swarming purple & green pixels. Any ideas? I've turned every setting to minimum and no difference.
Weirdly it worked briefly last night.

Same thing happening for me but CTD with Vulcan and trippy purple with DX. I can hear the game and menus work fine. My drivers are up to date though I have a weird video card. I am probably asking too much to have it work at all. Radeon Vega M

I hosed around last night getting into gunfights and people are so bad at shooting even the free aim didn't help. Yeah if you found someone who was skilled enough to abuse it they could keep you down but you do what you do anytime you find a posse that won't back down: Go somewhere else.

It was actually very nice to be in such populated lobbies. People just want to wave and nod at each other. I defused a 4 on 1 situation with a simple wave and we all went to the bar, got smashed on 50 cent whiskeys and fist fought each other before going our separate ways. I liked the risk of getting owned by auto aim way more than lobbies with 4 people in them that I'll never see.

Nobody is going to echo this opinion because goons all be looking for that next CEO crate to haul in peace.

Set your PC controls ( I set my controller one as well just in case) to free aim in settings. Pay attention to all the settings you have to set two aim types in each section.
You gotta do it in single player as well.

Yeah when you connect it'll shunt you automatically to a lobby for your currently set aim settings. You can double check this by having a friend use auto aim and have them join on you, the game will flash a warning about joining a lobby different to your settings.

So I read a few pages back (I think to the last patch) and didn't see anything about this. I bought the game yesterday, without checking on the pigfuck that this launch has been, played for six hours, and now I cannot launch the game at all. I've updated my card, updated windows, and I still get that launch error and when I try to launch in safe mode it crashes again. I'm assuming that I can't get a refund now, right?

I mean cool but it really does put you at a massive disadvantage beyond delivering crates. I did two Railroad Baron free roam events before and after the update and there was a huge difference, and I wasn't even aware they merged the lobbies. I was a bit suspicious because of how some people were able to consistently land 2-3 body shots in a row or chain headshots (without using deadeye) while people are riding at angles from them or zig-zagging on their horse.

Shootouts have a completely different feel on free aim, they're a lot more chaotic and frankly feel more realistic and satisfying. People (myself included) constantly miss simple, close shots because they don't have a controller automatically lining everything up for them. Like in a real shootout.

Welp, post-patch and... no change that I could discern? Reran the benchmark, no stutters there, and the numbers were pretty much the same. hosed around innawoods and St.Denis/Annesburg, rare (like, maybe twice over the course of 5+ hours) freezes for 1 second or less. Can't find and kill a Pristine elk to save my life, every badger appears to have taken the day off to see a Hugh Jackman retrospective, but I now have another Trapper location, a perfect bear skin I didn't actually need, two snakes, a big ugly D-hilted knife, and the next part of my Lemmy cosplay.

Also running into Murfree Brood kidnapping women, and may have to start crotch-shotting with the pump-action. :clint:

There's no "but" about it, I know. Do your sanity a favour and stop engaging in rockstar's crates. There's so much else to do that you don't have to saddle yourself with the idiotic stress of Cripps' business.

The setting is locked again once you're online and there's a "cannot change this setting due to network session restriction" red text again now. I don't know if it's actually matching me with only free-aim people again but the PVP event lobbies seem pretty quiet, so maybe?

ah my bad I misread your opening sentence which coloured the rest of the post.

In any case, there's no need for free vs auto slapfights, it was only ever a temporary issue that slipped by in the update and was promptly fixed.

Let's end it with this: I agree with your statement about the chaotic good of free aim gunfights with lovely firearms from 150 years ago. I think you will find this gif to be sufficient support of that statement.

I agree, I think free vs auto slap fights are dumb. Play whatever makes you happier when shooting your guns. I just wanted it out there that there's more to free aim than just easier deliveries. Enjoy your (free or auto) western gunfights, fellow goon. :patriot:
