You guys need to get together and get your story straight - is it 50% or 80% ... or maybe 2.8% ...

You dont know where Insomia got those numbers from as he didnt even link the article. Claiming he didnt get that from outrage articles is a bit bold atleast. You are also stating your impressions of reading social media the last days as a fact. Only fact we know is that only Rockstar knows the real numbers and they are aware of issues.
It might be a few thousand people on reddit having problems and being loud about. Thats not much taking into account that this game might have sold 500k+ on launch day. I feel this is even a pessimistic guess.
I get that people are having issues and I hope they can be resolved soon. But using fake numbers to get a point across always makes the whole thing slide into not to be taken seriously territory.

Arkham Knight plays like a dream on my PC and GTAV stands as one of the very best games I've ever had the pleasure of interacting with, so I don't agree with Chris here. I rarely have any trouble with console ports. Currently playing MGV Phantom Pain and it performs delightfully.

Now I just checked my specs whether I could be affected with issues, and it seems like my mobo (MSI Z270 A-Pro) is listed as one that is having launcher crashes.
I guess I should keep waiting for the Steam release...

Arkham Knight was notoriously bad lol. Even Digital Foundry agrees with that...
I'm absolutely sure that R* will eventually fix this game for everyone. I know a guy who is rather well known in the gaming community who cant even launch the launcher and he has tried everything, even the bios update thingy that some claimed to make the launcher and game run.
I cant link that article as I dknt remember where I found it. But I'll try looking for it and will post it.
Also, ever heard the expression "a grain of salt"?

Compared with the good old days of McCarthyism and Japanese internment camps today's generations are a model of calm, nuance and restraint...
I think when people start with the pick-random-high-number-out-of-the-sky-because-it-looks-bad, it invariably invalidates any other useful point they might have. Confirmation bias online is the biggest threat to society there is. This is true of the internet generally - and not specific to any one person in this forum.
Some people have had issues. PC's are weird & varied things, and its inevitable with a game that generates this amount of interest is going to suffer this. My PC is not the same as your PC, nor Fred's next door, etc.
There's a reason why top-level development houses like R* develop primarily for consoles - it's because they can write to known hardware that doesn't change. I know they're financially motivated to do it, but I'm incredibly grateful that they've done this port, because it was obviously a lot of work, and not something that they've done for all their titles (RDR1 I'm looking at you in a stern way).
Anyway, it's running great for me, and it's starting to run better for those who have had problems. So, let's just chill & enjoy the ride they've given us.

This I agree with.
The patch certainly optimised it a fair bit... although it was never as bad as those tests indicated, for me at any rate. With the 1080ti, I'm running a mix of medium, high and ultra settings overall (personal preferences) and averaging around 45-50FPS. I like my stuff to look nice and run smooth rather than focus on a little counter in the corner of the screen or feel aggrieved about specific screen resolutions...as long as I can't draw pictures on the monitor faster with a crayon..etc
I think you'll agree, it certainly looks pretty good...

Yup, the game looks great and runs fine on my 1070.
Gotta admit the actual game so far is... disappointing. I'm a little bit into chapter 2 and so far this is my experience:1) Cutscene
2) Press E to trigger second half of cutscene
3) Follow road
4) Cutscene
5) Hold W to continue cutscene
6) Press button to reveal location
7) Go to location
8) Cutscene
9) Pick up object with E
10) Pick up object with R (wait, wut?!)
11) Spam 'F' to win fight
12) Cutscene
13) Walk to hotel
14) Order bath
15) Repeatedly press E to scrub left arm
16) Repeatedly press E to scrub right arm
17) Press space to scrub left leg
18) Press space to scrub right leg
19) Press esc to leave bath
20) Walk outside
21) Cutscene
Et cetera. :/
The beginning of the game does a lot of "hand-holding", more than I care for, but it does "open up" later on and allow you do to things the way you want to.
And don't get in the habit of spamming F (or whatever button) to win fist-fights, because if you kill somebody by beating them too hard, well that changes things.

All fair and nice, I just don't know whether I can take my mobo as "blacklisted" on face value. Is it that 100% of those mobos are not compatible, or that accidentally those few who have this mobo have issues for whatever reason.
I didn't realize that the game required forced grouping? I assume that the horse stealing for Case is part of the story line but there doesn't seem to be an option to solo that activity and I have to wait for matching making. Am I missing something here?
Ahah, well looks like you made the same mistake I did at first: Selected RD Online! Easily done I think
When you exit back to the main screen, the choice is there... and I don't know whether my progress was saved because I've been on the RD Redemption (aka solo) bit since.
Also: make sure you have an hour or two when you begin the actual game. It takes some time before saving is possible.

This ^^^
The intro takes 2 to 3 hours, and really needs to be done in one sitting. None of it is especially challenging, but like Jakester13 says, you can't save until you get into the game "proper". You're basically on rails during the intro, and it's tedious having to repeat it if you can avoid it.
When the snow clears - the game starts.
OK, enough of the spoilers alright? I don't even know the map, want to go in this as 'clean' as possible.

Sorry.
It's a useful 'game' thing to know though. Play the intro in one sitting. If you only have 1/2 hour to play - don't bother starting.

I'M actually planning to take a day off for that.
