- AMD owners should update their graphics driver version to 19.11.1 or above in the Radeon Software app, or manually using this link: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/.
- Run RDR2.exe as an administrator.
But other issues continue to affect areas of gameplay for many fans, including problems with FPS drops while riding around the map.
Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC launched earlier this week but will not be available to buy from the Steam platforms until December 2019.
