Took an hour to deal with the bugs in the rockstar store to buy the game. Cant get into the game due to more bugs. Rockstar support confirmed its a clusterfarge but no needs or solutions yet. Got mates coming over in an hour or so, so I guess I'll try again tomorrow after work. :/
I'm waiting until Christmas vacation to download this. It will likely take ALL vacation to download the game on my internet, so it'll be next year before I actually play it. In the meantime, I'll watch my wife play on PS4.
Oh, that reminds me, I need to install a 2nd SSD in this laptop!

Aye...it was a bit bent out of the box when it went live..I managed to suss out what my issue was and sorted it just before R* launched a quick fix...anyway, lots more treasure, loot, horses and other stuff than the Xbox version...seems way too easy to get gold in story mode by comparison.
Is that because of all the pre-order swag, or is the game re-balanced from the xbox version?
They've certainly rebalanced it and added a fair bit of new stuff...I found a treasure map yesterday that wasn't in the Xbox version...after following the fairly obtuse and cryptic clues etc...6 gold bars each worth $500. I kinda know all the old ones from playing it exhaustively over the last year and the biggest haul from any of them was 4 bars and a trek around the map chasing the same hand drawn maps and cryptic clues. Strangely...it's given me a new sense of adventure and discovery now I know there's new additions...some new bad guys to collect bounties on, that kinda thing.
There's also some standard clothes in your trunk at camp that weren't there in the console version...new horses available in the stables, new weapons in the fence's inventory and a few other minor differences...and a new saddle for the horse (which gives the horse certain boosts), a holster, gunbelt and bandolier.

FUDster - everyone knows that it's only Frontier who have buggy launches - every other game out there has a flawless launch
So you're playing the PC version now? How do you like it? Does it natively support console controllers? How do the graphics compare?
WAS IT WORTH IT? I do own it on PS4, after all, so no sense buying it twice if it's just a mediocre upgrade.
Well, I have taken the plunge and 3 (estimate) hours remain on the download.
Not being a consoler, I have never experienced RDR or RDR2, but I'm a big Rockstar fan (GTA series, of course) so I'm looking forward to this highly rated experience.

Apart from a proper shedload of graphics options and looking very nice indeed, it supports native Xbox and PS controllers with the same control maps as the console versions...I'm off wandering already checking out the map to see what new things I can find...there's a few interesting additions already...definitely worth the purchase for me, even after playing it for a year on Xbox.

I purposefully stopped my single-player game on PS4 when I got this PC with the idea of getting RDR2 for this computer, and I hadn't gotten too far into the story because I spent most my time just exploring and hunting, so I still have much of the game to experience.
How's FPS? Does it hit my dream of locked 60 fps?
I guess FPS will be determined by the equipment in your PC.
I will report back once I'm in (2 hours to go...). GTX1070Ti, 16Gb RAM and an antique CPU, Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz.
If I can get 60fps, I'm sure most will

Specs time:
8600k
16 GB RAM
1080
1 TB SSD
Game is running with a mixed setup of high/medium settings on 1440p at 50 - 60 fps. Medium/High looks quite similar to the Xbox One X version back in the day. It was stunning back then and now its even more stunning. Its hard to describe how this world drags you in with every detail in it. Worth buying twice, no regrets.

Got it on PS4 Pro, now downloading it on PC.
I was going to wait for the Steam release, but then it occurred that GTA V on Steam simply launches the R* launcher, and RDR2 will probably be the same, so no point waiting really.
Be interested to know what people think that are already playing it... especially if they've played it on PS4 before. It would be great if there was a way to import your PS4 save... is that possible?

It appears a bit random; some people even get better FPS with higher settings somehow, people with comparable rigs have wildly different results et cetera. Still cant play myself, so I'm currently at 0FPS.
One of the recommendations is to disable one or two cores on the CPU and update the bios of your motherboard, but that is getting a bit too comical for my taste.
