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!

lol hard to remember what's what sometimes. I keep forgetting about DRM, the aspect it plays into. I'd think it'd get beta tested more. The DRM, configuration aspect. DRM being tested on a larger sample size / varied data set of machines in the wild prior to release but... that or obviously whatnot... not a part of "QA" else... I'd imagine Day 1 launch bugs would get.... noticed?
Kind of embarrassing I'd think. Just from a personal standpoint, I develop, publish - and... there. Unless Rockstar has multiple teams and one makes the game hands off to publish and the game dev has no say in what publishing does prior to release far as DRM etc which obviously is a recipe for disaster. Either way - it's embarrassing, honestly I don't think I'd be against regulation/consumer protection with this stuff. Cars have lemon laws. Lemon games.lol I'm kinda kidding with that last bit.

This is probably one of the worst launches in history for such a big game.

Also do not see a single person in here claiming issues with Pascal cards, nor the tinfoil hat theory of sabotaging older hardware. I think you have this post confused with another. Glad yours worked at launch without a single issue....
My bad, that was in the RDR 2 thread in the Gaming forums. Tons of people were acting like this is the end of PC gaming. Start reading around page 60.
