curious, so how much is it on the rockstar launcher for us malaysians?

malas wan install another launcher just for 1 game, prolly just wait for the steam release.

special edition (free upgrade from standard edition) rm219
ultimate edition (free upgrade from special edition) rm299

icic bro. thanks, is that converted or regional price?

that the price we see when buying from the launcher instead of USD

steam should be cheaper like they sell GTA V, estimate should be around RM149 for standard

i was thinking the same.
its a reason why it come late by a month to steam....
anyway gonna get the steam ver for me

Thought epic exclusive for a month..
Steam version still need to install R launcher too right?

icic bro. thanks, is that converted or regional price?

If anyone already play through or seen the game on console, is the stories better than GTA 5?

I really cannot stand GTA 5..

Haha really!

I thought V was ok.

Of course my all time favorite will still be SAN ANDREAS with NICK FURY still the best voice over ever.

RDR is more like cowboy story.

If you enjoy Hollywood cowboy movies, then RDR should be your cup of tea hahahaha.

yeah i don't like the characters in V.. playing though the game was a big slog

edit: after reading some comments on RDR2, i seriously doubt if i should buy it..

dishonoured 2 60% in steam might be a better deal

Pre-load Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC now in preparation for launch on November 5th.

To begin, just log in to the Rockstar Games Launcher and click the PRE-LOAD button on the Red Dead Redemption 2 panel in your library.

gonna grab the steam version but holy frick the the game size is 110gb. need to free up alot of stuff from my ssd just for this because the loading time gonna be long.

why?? u still need a rockstar acct. it most probably will open up rockstar launcher like ubi games..
da price should be more expensive..

rockstar supports myr atm. only way it could be cheaper is if this game has regional pricing discounts.

think tomorrow 5th november

gonna grab the steam version but holy frick the the game size is 110gb. need to free up alot of stuff from my ssd just for this because the loading time gonna be long.

now encrypting the file.. they should just release it early la

at dat speed might as well downloaded later... so dont need this decrypt thingy... for no reason got extra 110gb worth of writes on my nvme...

after decrypt got 3 gb to download somemore..

wow its out aready man....damn exited...but gonna get it on steam bcause of MIGHT have reginal pricing same like gta5

wow  really need more then 8gb ram ni....gtx 1060 6gb getting around 30 fps =( (on hight setting)
need to play at medium setting liao

just dont touch those settings that are locked...
adjust on the presets.. will do....

the locked settings if maxed out for 2080ti@1440p.. can bring the FPS down all the way from 6x-7x on the first snow benchmark scene to 3x... like 50% down....

currently i am just using that slider preset and setting 61FPS fixed on rivatuner to get a smooth 60fps.. ( its odd if i set it to 60fps.. it dips to 58-59... setting it to 61/62.. stays at that fps through the game)...

game still feels not responsive enough.. maybe i played too much vermintide 2 .. where every microsecond counts in blocking/dodging/ quick one shot specials etc...

is that on gsync monitor with vsync off?

off gsync and vsync... dont u find sometimes theres an input lag.. tried everything atm.. it happens randomly. first i thought it was because of the snow but later on happened again in the chapter after that.

so far this was the best setting i found.

No i havent bought it yet.
Hmm, usually when i play high demand graphic games on gsync monitor.
Off vsync and leaving the fps uncapped would be have been suffice instead of using riva tunner to cap the fps.
I also game on 1440p. Damn, i hope when it goes to steam most of this optimization issues has been resolved.
Is it like minor distraction or literally unplayable?

on advance setting unlocked..  can u guys change graphic api  from vulcan to directx?
my are grayed out  dont know why

windows 10??

btw vulkan better than dx12 for this game
