To people who will play Red Dead Redemption 2 in 2026

I had hella technical issues with this game.

  • Don't use external framerate limiters. YMMV. EDIT: I turned my RTSS FPS limiter back on to 60FPS and now it works perfectly...I don't understand anything anymore.
  • Disable VSync and make sure it's not forced from your GPU's control panel
  • You can't fix the stutters in the city. At least not as far as I can tell.
  • VRR / Freesync / GSync may give you issues as well, if your PC can handle the game you can probably just turn them off for this game only.
  • Don't switch to DX12 using the advanced graphics settings. It makes things WORSE. Use Vulkan.
  • Generally don't touch those advanced settings. Idk why they're even there if they break the game so much.
  • Make sure Windows didn't install a GPU driver that doesn't even exist yet via Device Manager. Fuck Windows btw.
  • You can't play the game without internet if you get it...officially. FYI. Do with this as you will.

I hope I saved you some headache. It took me getting all the way to 40% completion to figure out all this.

Game's awesome but the technical BS kinda ruins it.

EDIT: Also why the hell is every cougar that spawns a 1 star? Every time I find one, I scope it, and I see 1/3, god damn, I've found like 7 by now and ALL have been 1 star. It's getting to the point I'm not even bothering to kill them. I just want a nice outfit damnit.

I played on PC specifically for a mod that ensure animal pelts are high stars, as long as you don't destroy it with guns

I'm really trying not to mod it but I've spent 3 days of free time looking for cougar pelts and I may just break lol

I also got one that allowed running in camp, but otherwise vanilla

I also have an urge to get that but I look so damn silly running around everywhere lol.

Hell, I even look silly doing the medium run by just tapping shift haha
