- Fixed an exploit that allowed PC players to send chat messages labelled as ‘Rockstar Message’ to all players in a Red Dead Online session.
[June 9, 2020] – General / Miscellaneous (PC)
Stability
- Fixed a crash that could occur when launching the game on certain hardware configurations
- Fixed a crash that could occur when switching between output devices on system configurations with multiple graphics cards
- Fixed an issue that prevented the game from launching on some system configurations that used a dedicated AMD graphics card alongside an unsupported Intel integrated graphics device
- Fixed an issue that prevented the game from launching on some low-end system configurations when using DirectX 12
- Fixed an issue with a memory leak when using DirectX 12, leading to increased RAM usage and potential crashes during extended game sessions
- Fixed several random crashes that occurred during gameplay in Story Mode and Red Dead Online
Improvements and Bug Fixes
- Added command line arguments allowing the player to limit processor threads/affinity when booting the game. Using both arguments in combination may increase performance and reduce stalls on some systems when third-party applications with significant CPU usage are running in the background
- -numCores=# (number of threads, decimal value)
- -setSystemProcessorAffinity=# (CPU affinity mask, decimal value)
- Fixed an issue with hardware detection that caused the ‘hardware/driver check’ startup message to display incorrectly when running on some systems
- Fixed an issue with missing smoke effects on trains when the Particle Quality graphical setting was set to Ultra/High
[May 4, 2020] – General / Miscellaneous (PC)
Improvements and Bug Fixes – (PC)
- Improved texture rendering at the Medium and High quality settings, so the game will now show a higher level of texture detail without impacting framerate or requiring more system resources
- Increased the maximum range of the TAA Sharpening graphics setting, allowing players to make the game appear less blurry and match the quality available with external driver solutions

- Fixed a lighting issue that caused graphical artifacts to appear around distant trees on some system configurations while MSAA was active
- Fixed a lighting issue that caused flickering snow particle effects on some system configurations with multiple graphics cards
- Fixed a water rendering issue that caused flickering when running with DirectX 12 and having the Water Reflection / Refraction Quality levels set to Low
- Fixed a water rendering issue that caused incorrect wave simulation on some system configurations using multiple graphics cards
- Fixed an issue with hardware auto-detection that caused some system configurations to incorrectly default to low quality graphical settings on first boot
- Fixed an issue that caused an incorrect “Minimum Hardware Requirements not met” error on launch with some older system configurations that did meet the required specification
- Fixed several crashes that may have occurred when launching the game on certain hardware configurations
- Fixed a crash that occurred during gameplay when running out of system memory, resulting in a ERR_GFX_STATE error
- Fixed several crashes that could occur when switching between graphics APIs and display modes on some system configurations
- Fixed a crash that could occur when significantly increasing graphics settings, causing the system to run out of video memory
- Fixed several crashes and performance issues when using Intel NUC systems or when using integrated graphics hardware
- Fixed several random crashes that occurred during gameplay in Story Mode and Red Dead Online
[April 2, 2020] – General / Miscellaneous (PC)
- Fixed an issue that caused the game to crash on launch with ‘ERR_GFX_STATE’ due to a corrupted shader cache.
