So yeah.. Rockstar Launcher has quit unexpectedly... Turned off Windows Firewall and Virus Protection, as thats the only antivirus I'm running, and still no luck. Tried updating my drivers, nothing. Anyone have any tips that might help?
I'm not completely sure it fixed it or the mouse thing just randomly stopped but I verified the game files in the EGS (no problems came back) and now it's gone.
Still, I can't shake the feeling that I'm playing an emulated game on PC, that's what this experience feels like currently.
This happened to me when I tried to run the game in DX12 mode as the game won't start because of the error. My settings defaulted to Vulcan as the API though and it works fine.
Game settings are stored in "Documents" so maybe delete everything in the settings folder (it will regenerate when starting the game) and see what happens.
Holy shit.
This port is miserable.
What happend? After MP3 and GTAV I thought they finally learned.

What's your explanation? When a D3D12 / VK game performs poorly on some specific GPU architecture its usually because of poor engine optimization for that architecture. It's not like Pascal is having issues with D3D12/VK in general.
My explanation would sound like a conspiracy theory and I don't want to start a shitstorm, especially since I have no proof. That's why I think someone with the right expertise should look into it.
I did something similar for a 2080 and i5 8400 set up. Took the balanced settings, increased af to x16 and dropped water physics to 50% and set resolution scale to .80. I get 56fps avg in the benchmark except for one scene that stops upon loading. I'm hoping the game proper doesn't load like that.

Why opt for a conspiracy theory when I've just gave you a perfectly reasonable explanation?
Actual game is more demanding than the benchmark. The opening in the snow with lanterns and tons of volumetric brought my 1070 down probably into the low 20s at 1440p max preset. I've now brought my settings down to one notch right of the default balanced and have a decent frame rate around 30.
Edit: Oh man, water physics does seem to have a huge impact on frame rate!

1080 Ti being around the level of a 2060 Super. Is this going to be the norm with newer games?These been posted yet?

With how I'm running it then, I should be able to normally get 60 FPS at 1440p :).
I wouldn't be surprised if this was released with a whole pile of performance bugs that get fixed in a few months. I wish websites bothered to retest rather than just using the launch version of everything.
Whoaa. Game is demanding. I guess I'll settle with 30 fps.These been posted yet?

I've had the same problem. What did the trick for me was to go to my user profile -> documents -> Rockstar Games -> Red Dead Redemption 2, and then delete the benchmark/settings/profile folders. Restart the game, the deleted folders will be generated again and the game should start. It worked on my side. EGS version, win 10 with the latest updates.
Setting the game on DX12 reintroduces the error again. In order for it to work again, I then have to redo the steps above.
I've waited to play this game since the console launch. Should I just wait until Nvidia releases their next set of cards at this point?
After playing for last hour and watching the performance the game is just intensive and not badly optimised.
Settled on 1080p with a 1080ti at a solid 60fps with a few ultra mostly high and some medium. Seems like 1440p is just on the cusp of being a solid 60fps bit dips at times and I am happy to settle for the sold framerate in exchange for the slightly softer look.
The game looks stunning though.

Yikes, that 1080Ti performance is abhorrent, that has to be a bug, or is this intentional? That would be a sad end for such an iconic GPU.These been posted yet?

It's a bit of both. The game is in many ways broken on start with people reporting everything from not getting past missions to save files disappearing, crashes, not starting at all, fps drops, stutter menus running at a couple of fps. Usually Rockstar fixes their problems eventually, for example GTA V was running pretty well from the start from what I can remember.
I'd wait for the Steam launch and then buy it.
Pascal is very close to Maxwell
Not exactly weird to see 2014 tech "struggle"/being less optimized for on some newer games

So a suggestion on Reddit for the freezing/stuttering issue is to go into task manager and disable a CPU core for the game and that seems to have worked for me? Need to test more but as soon as I re-enabled them all the freezing came back immediately.
EDIT: Not a complete fix but seems to have at least reduced frequency.

Thanks didn't work for me though. Game has never launched for me so I only had the profile folder and deleted it didn't work. I don't have the EGS version.
I'm practically getting that with an Ultra/High mix on 1440p so ya you should have no problem on 1080p.
As soon as I switched to DX12 and restarted the game, now it won't start up and I get an error message.
What a messy fucking launch.
That benchmark chart is for DX12, I'm getting much better performance with Vulkan now after the patch. I'd be curious to see if Pascal performs closer to Turing in Vulkan.
To get back to the default Vulcan API you can go to Documents, find the Rockstar Games folder, then RDR2 and delete everything in the Settings folder. This will allow you to at least start the game again with all the original default settings. Switching to DX12 doesn't allow me to launch the game either.
Um... 1080Ti was consistently in top 4/5 spot in GPU charts and trading blows with the likes of RTX 2080 and RTX 2070 SUPER up until RDR2, but suddenly it's trailing below RTX 2060 SUPER and is merely 12th among the fastest GPUs? You gotta be kidding me with this 2014 tech excuse.
Thanks. Hopefully all this shit will be ironed out in a day or two, but this launch in infuriating. This game was like my major purchase for the month and to not be able to play it smoothly or at all is just baffling.
Which AGESA version did your bios update go from and to? Currently on 1.0.0.3 ABB here and ASRock hasn't updated it since August on my B450M Pro4.

Welp, my 1060 6gb is crying right now. It seems that it will run "fine" at medium settings
So GTX 970 will go even lower than 26 fps? 😁 Great optimization, Rockstar, bravo!
