Hurray! The desktop shortcut now works (and it was pretty ridiculous that it didn't in the first place). Seriously though, there are some nice fixes in those patch notes and at least we didn't have to wait too long for it. I'm going to try that CPU rebalancing command to see if it improves performance in towns for me. The game is about 99.5% smooth for me with the odd split-second hiccup or stutter from time to time, usually when traversing the landscape at speed on horseback otherwise it is runs great.
My son got GTA V a year or so back just for the online. He's never touched "story mode". Perhaps I'll give GTA Online a shot yet. He may also like RDR2 for the online as well. Once it's cheaper.
Sounds great, anyone has a TS3 server or something? Might be up for regular sessions if we would be playing at the right time. (German timezone here)
Here more in-depth look at different settings. IMO best is to have Mixed High/Ultra (one or more at Medium) using VLK Api.
Hard to say. Fps varies so much can't really make any claim either way. And I never had any stutters on dx12.
This is probably why the graphics settings were reset, unless they make future changes to this I doubt it’ll be a problem with future updates.
I'd say that is what happened to a lot of gamers that couldn't launch the game. Their PCs weren't able to run the too high default settings, or they changed the settings to 'ALL ULTRAAAAAA' at the start screen and then the game loaded and crashed.
I've mentioned a few times here I'm up for online play if anyone else is interested. I beat the SP on console so I'm only playing online. I'm already over lvl 40 as I've been playing a lot, but I have no problem helping out people starting out -- makes the grind easier.
Yup this issue plagued GTA O from the day of it's release. I would say I am shocked that they allowed this rubbish to also affect RDR2.... and then I remembered it's Rcokstar.
I noticed that "settings" in the menu is now greyed out for about 30 seconds or so on launching the game? Quite odd. Still haven't fixed support for the official Sony DS4 wireless receiver, having to use a generic bluetooth dongle to get the controller working wirelessly ingame with DS4 icons.
Can you successfully launch the game from Steam with that shortcut? I get a game crash when I launch it from Steam (even with overlay disabled)
Quite the changelog there, looking forward to getting home later and seeing if the stuttering is gone. It was better after the last patch but still occurs a bit, much more when using vulkan so I'm on dx12 currently. Since the first patch sorta fixed the stutter my biggest gripes have to do with game mechanics and not performance. Some mechanics seem over simplified or nonsensical, such as Arthur saying hes terrible with a bow yet I can get long range headshots no issues as if he is an olympic archer. Or the fact that Arthur seems like some terminator that can absorb a lot of damage while wrecking everyone else...but its a rockstar game so this was expected on some level. Besides all of that, and finally getting iron sights to work (had to use default keybind even after remapping it) the game is amazing and is by far the best game I have payed full price for in many years. Really enjoying SP, still on chapter 2 with 20+ hours in. Taking my time exploring and finding random stuff to do.
If you want a console like experience but with the highest graphics settings consider this: Vulkan API Refresh Rate 60 Enable G-Sync in the NVCPL Enable Ultra low latency mode in the NVCPL (not sure if this works in Vulkan or DX12) Enable half V-Sync in the game's settings Enable Triple Buffering Set Quality preset level to MAX Now you have the game running at a consistent 30 FPS. Thanks to G-Sync with perfect frame times. IMHO, a consistent frame rate is more important then a higher frame rate and frame times that are all over the place. Some of you might not like this, but this way even a somewhat older GPU can run this game with ultra graphics and a consistent framerate.
HDR detection still broken, tree tessellation nice feature but cost me 9-10fps, no thx. Practically no improvements for me .
Went to the river near valentine, caliban's seat area. Tried the tree tessellation with all the trees there and lost like 30+fps lol
It was because they added tree tesselation in the graphics settings. It's in GTA5 also. They have to reset the graphics because it won't be in the xml file in the game saves. So when you reset the graphics settings, it overwrites the xml file and adds any new features.
