Shame the original RDR never made it to PC. Awesome game, storytelling. Looking forward to play this on PC, but it seems waiting for the Steam release will pay off, it seems horribly unstable and unoptimizied ATM.
Does this require installing a "Rockstar Store" like all these other games? I'm thinking of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw and EA as examples (though that new Star Wars game is coming to Steam).
Where are you pulling those numbers? Seriously this is all well inside the usual launch issues every major release has. You just keep reading alot of bad reports because alot of people got it.
My game is running absolutely fine after installing fresh Nvidia drivers.
Yes, Rockstar had its own launcher/store that you need to go through regardless of where you buy it.
I won't be getting it before Christmas (and perhaps even later), but I'm still debating whether to buy it through Steam or straight from RS.
Which is normally the case for me...but RDR2 was faultless and well optimised on Xbox, not so much on PC. It happens, no big deal...lets not make this into a console V PC discussion. I'm sure it'll be just fine in a few weeks.

It was patched within a few hours of release...and no, the release wasn't atrocious at all. Just as a point of note...Steam won't make it any better either...it's a game launcher. The R* launcher does perfectly well with little intrusion as it is.
Got it to run finally, and it runs pretty well and stable. I do have to use process lasso to prevent microstuttering, assume they'll fix that properly with a patch soon.
Just in case you hadnt heard: RDR2 hates anti-virus programs, make sure you add it to the exceptions.
That was my first fix...since it crashed on startup on initial loading....As an aside, R* just released a 2.7Gb patch this evening which seems to address most of the current issues. I'm still downloading it so not had a chance to test it.

Well it's fun! Running fine; had no issues, and without twiddling with any settings it's running around 54fps. No crashes, runs pretty smooth, and it's a pleasant change from, er, other games. 
Tomorrow I will twiddle a bit, run the benchmarker, etc., but today I simply played the game.

Has been working flawlessly for me. Played through the 3hr intro without a single hitch. Now I see there's a big patch.
I call absolute nonsense on your post. 80% of the player base? 80% of the people who are complaining maybe. The other 95% are too busy playing the game.
It's Red Dead.
On a PC.
In 4K.
And it's beautiful...
Excuse me...
According to the patch notes, they've resolved this issue. Didn't have it in the first place (MalwareBytes didn't complain) here, but it's hopefully fixed for others.
A little surprised to see that my post is called nonsense. It's been a disastrous launch. Even Rockstar acknowledged the issues...
The 80% number was in an article. Been reading a lot the past 2 days about the launch issues.
It was a friendly advice to wait before you buy.
I've already enjoyed it once so I know what masterpiece it really is. And how gloriously beautiful it can be.
Peace

Sure, there have been many reported issues. No doubt. But 80% is obviously a made-up nonsensical number, even if it 'was in an article'.
I guess thanks for trying to give helpful advice. Still, making up opinions from outrage articles and headless redditors is never a good idea imo.
I'm really tired of this whole outrage culture fueled by click baity articles and subscriber addicted youtubers.
Just watched the RDR2 CPU test, and it did show that there are indeed issues. They didn't mention the patch, so perhaps it fixed most of them.
I am rocking a 7700k (4.8Ghz) and an 1080ti (1.95 Ghz) at 1440p and 75hz, so'Im hoping a good high(ish) settings right away. To be honest, the GN video that showed the benchmarking at medium settings featured quite low LOD on the ground.
While I'm not a fan of outrage and cancel culture, the simple fact is that console ports on PC suck, most of the time. That includes all Rockstar titles and gems like Arkham Knight - games that are undoubtedly amazing, but (in case of the Knight to this day) unplayable on PC.
Insomnia's advice wasn't based on "outrage articles" but on a simple fact that half of the people who bought RDR2 on launch day couldn't play it in one way or another. Rockstar pulled a full Bethesda, here.
Launcher that crashes when trying to launch the game or "forgets" thhat you bought the game, game running at 5FPS on some combinations of Intel CPUs and MBs, game refusing to even start if you have a Ryzen board from Gigabyte, game running at <60FPS on 2080Ti, those aren't "made up opinions". It's just how things are, now, and suggesting that advising somebody to wait with the buy is outrage culture is outrageous in its own right.
This has nothing to do with the quality of the game. Just the quality of the port.
