Rockstar Provides Update on PC Issues With Red Dead Redemption 2, Giving PC Players Free Apology Gift

Red Dead Redemption 2 launched on PC this November, and it was terrible. The game's was barely executable and those who did get in reported massive issues. Now, Rockstar Games has provided an update on the PC issues.

Rockstar explained that they've identified and solved the issues with the game and Rockstar Games Launcher. They still have some problems to work out, but they want to apologize for them. They're giving those who play the game starting more until the holiday season a free assortment of provisions and ammo.

Over the past week, we have been working as quickly as possible to address issues that have impacted the launch of the PC version of Red Dead Redemption 2. As a result, we have already identified and resolved a number of these issues by deploying fixes to the Rockstar Games Launcher and some to the game itself.
 
However, we are aware that a small number of Red Dead Redemption 2 PC players are still experiencing problems with the game stuttering. We believe this is due to unforeseen issues related to specific combinations of Nvidia graphics drivers, Nvidia GPU cards, and certain CPUs. 

We will be rolling out an update to the game today that addresses the stuttering issue alongside a host of other fixes. However, we are still working with Nvidia to completely resolve the stuttering issue in a future update, and it may take us up to a few days to properly test everything and ensure the next update completely solves the problem.
 
We sincerely apologize for this temporary inconvenience and will update you as soon as we have more information to share – we want everyone to be able to experience Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC as we intended as soon as possible. If you are experiencing any issues that are impacting your experience with Red Dead Redemption 2 for any reason, please start by first visiting the troubleshooting page on our Support site for assistance.
 
As a show of gratitude to our PC fans, while we sort this out in the coming days, everyone who plays Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC this week and through the holiday season will receive a complimentary care package for Red Dead Online that includes the Prieto Poncho and an assortment of provisions and ammo. Look for more details on the care package to come. Thanks again for your continued patience and understanding.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available for PC, Xbox One, and PS4.
