Could be anything -- your CPU, GPU, RAM, some random crap you've installed. Try downclocking them all and see if it still happens. If it does, you could e.g. try reinstalling Windows without all the crap you seem to have installed at the moment and see if it still crashes.

 

As for making it run better, check e.g. Hardware Unboxed's optimization-guides on Youtube.

Make sure you run it in FULLSCREEN mode and not in borderless...for me it fixed the crashing...but you have to go in the option menu and manually

put it in full screen every time you play cause the game doesn't remember this setting for some reason.

 

AND BTW your specs don't even meet the minimum specs for this game so if you're getting 30 to 50FPS on medium settings at 1080p it's actually

quite good IMHO...

You could try running the game at 720p and you might get 60 fps...

Lots of people are experiencing crashing with the Steam version since it's only been out for 1 day now.

 

Play the game for 15 minutes. Then record a 1 minute clip of your game play. Make sure you are showing things in MSI Afterburner. Temps, CPU usage, CPU clock speed, RAM usage, VRAM usage, GPU usage, all that good stuff. Make sure you're playing in the resolution that you've been crashing in. And that your hardware is set to the same speeds you're crashing in.

 

Oh, and show all of your settings before the 1 minute gameplay clip. And try to be in an area of the game where you experience crashing.

Check if your RDR2 copy is on build 1207, that's the latest and probably the most stable version of RDR2

 

I played the game for over a month now (I'm a R* launcher buyer), and IMO the build which suffers most crashes is 1205 or 06 something, I crashed every 5 or 10 minutes into the game and it was so annoying that NVIDIA had to release driver version 441.34 and R* issued 2 patches to fix the damn game. And after they issue the 1207, I can play this game for hours and hours with no crashes, no stutters and constant 60 fps all the time.

 

If you are on the latest version already, run Afterburner and give us all the data on CPU, GPU, RAM usage, temps, clock speed... at the time where it crashes

He's using the newly released latest Steam version. Multiple gamers have submitted reviews saying its crashing. Until it is fixed, seeing what his hardware is doing would help.

On what, CPU? You at 3.1 GHz now?

No gpu oc remover

Cpu at stock

Oh okay, well that explains some things. GPU OC's can commonly cause crashing. You have to do stress tests if you plan to OC your GPU to avoid those.

But other games run fine with oc

Then that may not have fixed it. Could still crash. If you'll record a game play clip, the least I could do is see what your hardware is actually doing until people confirm what's causing the crashes with the Steam version of the game.

 

If possible, don't record the clip with your PC itself. Because that's going to use up CPU usage. Try using a phone or camera of some sort. Also try to set it on something so it doesn't move.

Um, your CPU is below the minimum requirement, I would pick up a cheap good i7, or a xeon of similar performance, this way you can better FPS stability.

Just going for playable frame rates doesn't require an upgrade. All he needs for better stability is more RAM as the game likes to use up and over 10-11 GB's of RAM. The crashing has been happening to thousands of people with the Steam version as it has not even been out 48 hours yet.

 

The January 2011 Sandy Bridge i5-2500K is the minimum CPU which clocks at 3.3-3.4 GHz without overclocking it.

The January 2011 Sandy Bridge i5-2400 clocks at 3.1-3.2 GHz without overclocking it.

 

0.2 GHz is only a 5-6% loss in performance. Give or take of course. Which translates to around something like this...

 

30 fps - 1.5-1.8 fps loss

40 fps - 2.0-2.4 fps loss

50 fps - 2.5-3.0 fps loss

60 fps - 3.0-3.6 fps loss

 

Always take minimum specs with a grain of salt. Hell, take my advice with a grain of salt. I'm only providing an educated guess as I don't even own the game nor his hardware. But I'm very familiar with running games with hardware under minimum specs at very playable frame rates using respectable graphic settings.

 

Hopefully the game will be better optimized over time or at least gamers will find culprits to the crashing.

Yes you are right but, I was just off topic making a suggestion for a cheap upgrade that will help in the game, I guess should have specified that. 

[Giganthrax]

Is your GPU overclocked?

 

I had frequent and random crashes, and couldn't get into Online (crash on character creation screen every time), until a guy on reddit told me he fixed it by clocking the GPU back to factory settings. I did that and it solved crashing issues for me.

As for performance, I don't know why it's so bad for you. I have Ryzen 1600x and GTX 1070 and play on medium most stuff, ultra textures, and it runs in the 50-75 fps range depending on where I am in 1080p. I have noticed that water quality dramatically affects performance when you're near water, and I keep it at medium. 

 

Also, I use Directx12, so maybe that helps. 

 

Of course, it goes without saying that you should install the newest GPU drivers and update BIOS.

While that is a decent suggestion for older titles or for recording/streaming games and other multi-tasking/stability benefits, the upgrade path for his motherboard for a cheap i7 or Xeon won't make much of a difference in RDR2 if his RAM is still sitting at 8GB.

 

Now if his motherboard allowed overclocking say a K i7, sure, it might squeeze out better performance. Either way, his RAM will still also need an upgrade. Much cheaper and easier to just add an 8GB stick of RAM to his current build for $25.00 to $30.00 brand new or $15.00 to $20.00 used.

 

Having just 8GB of RAM in RDR2 is just not going to cut it in the stability department. Especially just the DDR3-1333/1600 speed RAM his motherboard allows.

[Praesi]

8GB RAM isnt enough for modern Titles.
