I had hella technical issues with this game.

  • Don't use external framerate limiters. YMMV. EDIT: I turned my RTSS FPS limiter back on to 60FPS and now it works perfectly...I don't understand anything anymore.
  • Disable VSync and make sure it's not forced from your GPU's control panel
  • You can't fix the stutters in the city. At least not as far as I can tell.
  • VRR / Freesync / GSync may give you issues as well, if your PC can handle the game you can probably just turn them off for this game only.
  • Don't switch to DX12 using the advanced graphics settings. It makes things WORSE. Use Vulkan.
  • Generally don't touch those advanced settings. Idk why they're even there if they break the game so much.
  • Make sure Windows didn't install a GPU driver that doesn't even exist yet via Device Manager. Fuck Windows btw.
  • You can't play the game without internet if you get it...officially. FYI. Do with this as you will.

I hope I saved you some headache. It took me getting all the way to 40% completion to figure out all this.

Game's awesome but the technical BS kinda ruins it.

EDIT: Also why the hell is every cougar that spawns a 1 star? Every time I find one, I scope it, and I see 1/3, god damn, I've found like 7 by now and ALL have been 1 star. It's getting to the point I'm not even bothering to kill them. I just want a nice outfit damnit.

Rockstar and shoddy PC ports. Name a more iconic combo.

I don't even think it's just Rockstar. Every PC port I've ever played had some sort of blatant technical issue.

From what I've heard it's always games ported from console to PC as well, never the other way around, at least according to people I know that have consoles.

We just have to get the short end of the stick because we don't shill out money for crazy amounts of sales for mediocre yearly release games like Fifa.

Activision had some horrible ports, like Aspyr making a GH:WT port that got fixed with the Definitive Edition mod. Some Call of Duty games had horrible ports as well (World at War and Black Ops 1 come to mind).
