Red Dead Redemption 2 PC update #1

Rockstar released the first PC update for its latest open-world title. According to the release notes, this patch attempts to resolve all the crashing issues that PC gamers have been experiencing. 

 I strongly suggest restarting the Rockstar Launcher in case this update does not pop up!

It's a wonder why anyone pre-orders and then pre-downloads games. There's no value in either these days unless you enjoy paying them to do QA work.


Well for me it was a learning experience; I almost never pre-order. Last game I pre-ordered was SC2. I got caught up in the hype of RDR2. I was naive enough to think the game will just work. Boy was I wrong!

This 2nd update fixed 90% of the issues I've been having. Two issues that persist are; cursor pointer staying on screen during game, and game won't start under DX12.

Just got an update to the rockstar launcher as well within the last hour. It looks like rockstar has brought the devs in for some overtime here which is good to see but still for such a highly regarded company this should never be happening in the first place. Although I do still have nightmares from the GTAIV launch.... oh dear god was that bad... and the game is near unplayable on new hardware as it barely uses 2 cores let alone 8 or more.

It's things like this happening to such a highly praised company that makes me worried for things like Cyberpunk 2077..... :(

I hope they resolve the launch issues soon! I bought it the evening of release without looking up any info, I have yet to see the game launch at all. Always gives me Launcher quit unexpectedly, if I disable firewall and antivirus it will then tell me the game failed to initialize..... Update to the launcher didn't help at all, issues persist.

I´m having the same issue with the launcher crashing when I try to play the game.
Everyone (including RSG) is advising us to update our BIOS (with possible the risk of bricking the computer) or disabling the AV (with possible opening the door to hackers) but I have a dual boot with Windows 1909 in SSD1 and Windows 7 Pro 64 bits in SSD2. Same AV installed in both OS installations (ESET). In Windows 10 I could not make it work even after 3 patches/updates.........in Windows 7 is working just fine. The game is installed in SSD3 and is the same installation that both launchers uses. it is NOT two separated installations.

So..........is not a BIOS/AV "thing"........the problem is with the launcher and possible the DRM they implemented in Windows 10 that reads something from the UEFI BIOS. Of course we will not get anything from RGS because that will tell so much about the protection to groups like CODEX/CPY, etc

Got 19hrs played with not one crash, or any graphical anomilies. I can't believe people are still running crappy, system whoring software like AVG in 2019. Disabling that was the first thing everybody should have done. The fact that people are upgrading/downgrading their bios is just insane!

The game is insanely GPU dependent, and people who are still using Fermi, Maxwell, and Pascal thinking they could just load up 4k with max settings and 60+ fps are crazy. You think that this is the first PC game released that pushed the envelope into next gen territory?
