I've got an AMD FX 6300, GTX 950, 16GB RAM (built tower after going into PC supply store awhile back and saying 'give me what was hot poo poo like 6 months ago, not super knowledgeable on any of it). I know I won't be able to pull super ultra settings or anything, but a lot of the issues seem to be related not to system performance as much as system configuration and issues with the launcher, etc (i.e. people with really powerful setups still having problems). Anyone with a similar hardware setup to me been having any issues? Still have about 30 min on the download so mentally getting prepared for annoyance.

I feel like a gtx950 might really be pushing it, but also I don't know poo poo so :shrug:

Noone likes engaging you because you're only ever COMPLETELY OUTRAGED at whatever you're talking about and it's loving tedious to deal with. You don't actually want a conversation because you're already 100% convinced that your opinion on the matter is the only justifiable one.

I had a dream last night that I was in-game and I got attacked by a chupacabra, looked like a coyote except it was hopping around on its back legs, crazy fast. I think my brain is telling me I need to stop...

Are all the gripes about the controls from m&kb players? I play on pc with my old 360 controller and it's perfect. These sort of games have always been controller games for me.

Dang i'm getting close to the end of the story and it's really making me wish for a remake of rdr1.

Also playing the late-game while I have a gnarly cough and have to stop occasionally to hack a bunch of crap outta my lungs is pretty funny considering what Arthur's dealing with currently.

I finally finished off the epilogue today, was like a super chill catharsis to both games to see John, Abigail & Jack actually have some positive interactions for once

Now I'm kinda torn between just roaming around doing the side-stuff, challenges etc, or if I should jump into the online mode.

Also I've been roaming around down in New Austin killing Del Lobos and at an abandoned farm outside Armadillo there was a skeleton of a "Donkey Woman" tied to a millstone. Like a human skeleton with a Donkey skull, it was weird as hell and I gtfo asap.

Also Also The Skinner Gang stuff is pretty ott, every time I go through Tall Trees now it's like Halloween funhouse levels of carnage in there.
I found myself wondering if the Native Americans in the gang are a result of what happened to the Wapiti & Eagle Flies :smith:

So when I play online I get the FFFFFFF error. Hooray.

I think it may be related to the G-Hub? I noticed last night I got some weird clicking in my headphones, which told me there was a voltage issue suddenly. I restarted my game and they went away. I played today and got it each time (4 times after any random thing, first time it was triggered by being in the Moonshine shack and opening up my catalogue). I looked up the issue and did the troubleshooting things but it doesn't really help. I opened up G-Hub after reading about someone correlating it to that, and noticed there WAS an update last night. Anyone else know what to do?

I get it now if i try to play online, I only noticed today, it's been a few weeks since I played online last. Weirdly I can still play story mode fine :shrug:

e] I have no idea how to fix it, google wasn't very helpful, just standard verify files, restart, update drivers etc. None of that worked for me.

In that last convo with the nun he also says he got the TB "beating a man to death for money" Was that one of the early Strauss collections or is it just a reference to something pre-game?

e] Yea I' had a massive gap between most of the game and finishing up my playthrough and I couldn't remember if there was a debt collection where someone was sick or not.

In more "Micah is an unbelievably huge piece of poo poo" news, I started a new playthrough and goddamn, after you kill the O'driscoll's at the Adler ranch he finds Sadie Adler, (either hiding or imprisoned in the cellar) and immediately starts terrorising her like an absolute psycho.
Arthur & Dutch are both just like :wtc: and it really highlights how different he is from the rest of the gang. Just the fact that he's with them at all kinda shows how much trouble they were in prior to the start of the game.

On a completely different note, had a funny moment playing the epilogue where someone mentioned the general store owner in Armadillo being a piece of poo poo, so I went to check it out and lo & behold, it's young Herbert Moon :haw:

Even in one of the very first missions (moving the camp from the snow to horshoe overlook) Dutch says something like
"I know how you two love to talk about the old days and how old Dutch is losin it"
to Arthur & Hosea.
They're clearly used to being voices of caution to Dutch's schemes and plans but that's seemingly been getting worse over time. Hence them sitting out the Blackwater job in favour of their own thing.
It makes sense to me that Dutch would get more desperate and reckless as he gets older and older without achieving the wealth and freedom he thinks he deserves. The whole game he's a dude who knows his time is running out.

Yea she outright tells John "I want to die" during one of the bounties :smith:


I just found a letter on a Lemoyne Raider and it kinda blew my mind that they legit think they're a resistance movement fighting "opression & tyranny"

I'd always thought of them as Southern-flavoured O'Driscolls, just general bandits, not that they had like, an ideology.

Funnily enough after finding that letter, I saw an encounter where two of the raiders were executing two randos on a riverbank.
I was just floating past so I missed some dialogue, but as they turned to walk away, one of them started musing like "I can't help but think we'd have more success spreading the message if we stopped killing everyone we encounter"
So I guess that explains why I didnt know :haw:

I installed the 4 seasons mod and Vestigia, but I might've used the wrong version because it says it's summer and 26 degrees, but it's not hot, and three was also a snowstorm in Valentine :psyduck:
Maybe I installed a climate change mod by accident.

Also I only just discovered that (o)possums will actually play possum if you get too close to them! You even get the skin/pick up carcass options, lol. This game...

Man that Dynamic Seasons mod is real purty like, but in my game at least it doesn't seem to actually change the temperature at all. Mid-winter in New Hanover and it still just sits around 17-25. I'm only running it with Vestigia, so there shouldn't be any issues, but I dunno what else could have gone wrong. Think I'll just wipe it and go back to normal.

I was genuinely a good (cow) boy, but I exterminated every klansman I saw with extreme prejudice

And that eugenicist guy

Again, I'm always impressed with RDR2 and its nuanced depiction of the period. It's so easy to think everyone in The Past was racist, homophobic, etc. But people were all kinds, just like they are now, and it's not in the least bit implausible that this tough outdoorsman would despise racists, and be friends with fancy lads

You can just beat the poo poo out of the dudes that show up in Rhodes and nobody cares, lol.

e] Yea and it's robbing them that gives you the honour hit, too.
