If Red Dead Redemption 2's PC version has given you problems since it launched last week, Rockstar has an update, apologies, and even a little gift for you. It even has a little gift for you if your game's running perfectly and you've been living the outlaw life nonstop. The studio announced a new Red Dead Redemption 2 PC update that's coming to the game later today in a post on its official website.
Rockstar says the update will fix an issue that could cause Red Dead Redemption 2 to stutter when being played on PCs with "specific combinations of Nvidia graphics drivers, Nvidia GPU cards, and certain CPUs". Rockstar doesn't expect the update to completely resolve the problem, unfortunately, and it could take a few more days for the Rockstar and Nvidia to arrive at a complete solution to the issue.
 
As for that gift, you can earn it simply by playing the game any time from this week through into the holiday season. Rockstar says it will be a care package for Red Dead Online which includes the Prieto Poncho apparel item for your custom character and a selection of provisions and ammo. Rockstar will share more details about the care package later.
If the Red Dead Redemption 2 PC issues were bad enough to keep you from playing before, you ought to log on after the update rolls out to see if it fixed your issues. If it doesn't, you'll at least unlock the care package for later.
 
Well at least it looks like Rockstar is trying to resolve the issues.

    Yeah, i was going to buy it until I found out it has some kind of major issue with the i7 9700K for some reason. Maybe this will fix it, but the way they have handled it so far, makes me want to just avoid it.

    It's part of the same gaming industry of releasing and using consumers as the paying beta testers.  Make money while not wasting money and time.  Who would have thought companies can get away with this for so long.

    I'm playing it fine with my first gen i7 920 and GTX 1070 at 1440p at ultra. No performance issues here. I did turn down water quality and trivial items because I wouldn't notice the difference but it plays well.

    Don't buy it from Epic. There is a mouse cursor bug in the Epic version. It makes it so the mouse cursor is always on the screen. In order to get rid of the cursor, you have to go into the Epic launcher files and delete the overlay files. I'm not even sure what those overlay files do, as I have yet to see an in-game overlay from Epic.
     
    Edit: I don't think the performance matches the visual quality in this game. There are games that look just as good, but perform far better.
