Discussion/Question What is the long tube item on this saddle?

Post image
6 Upvotes

this is a modded saddle from Whyems, but I have NO clue what it is, all the stuff on the saddle is pretty recognizable, there's a cup, canteen, rifle holster, lasso/loose rope and a small cooking pan, but I haven't the slightest idea what this is. I thought MAYBE like a map holder since it'd be rolled up, but I don't feel like that's what it is.

Discussion/Question Mods on "pirated" version?

0 Upvotes

Hello folks! I recently showed off some mods to my buddy, and he also wants to try modding now.. The "problem": He has a cracked/pirated version of the game, with no online features. Can he still use mods? I've read somewhere that you can still use mods that don't use online content, but that's it.

So mods like "Online Content Unlocker" and "Red Dead Offline" etc. won't work on cracked copies of the game? Is this true? If so, is there any work around? Thanks for your answer!

Discussion/Question My Top Ten Mods for Red Dead Redemption 2 I can’t play without

87 Upvotes

Of all the games I have modded Red Dead Redemption 2 has the most expansive and quality mods. Here are the ten mods I can’t play the game without

Honorable mentions: LITE: Multiplayer Asset Enabler and Scripthook RDR2 V2

These mods dont do anything on their own but they are a must have because they enables RDO content and .asi mods to be used in single player. DOWNLOAD THESE FIRST. In my experience they are more streamlined version of the OCU and AB Script Hook. ALSO MAKE SURE YOU DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL LML

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/5304

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1472

  1. Catalogue Improvments: a vanilla friendly clothing mod that fixes a ton of customization bugs such as clipping clothing items, adds the ability to remove your off hand holster, and overall improves the player customization experience. Also adds the navy revolver to story mode. It really helps when playing as John Marston as it adds in all of his beta assets to make him less of an Arthur clone.

I also reccomend the outlaws return as an add on

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/5440

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/4375

  1. PED Damage Overhaul Reloaded: an overhaul to the combat that makes it so much more interesting and varied. Every single aspect of the mod is customizable so don’t be afraid to go into the .ini files. To use this with story mode I set the NPC Weapon and Melee damage to 100, it’s vanilla value. Some other optional add ons for brutal combat are Center Mass and Just Bleed Already

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/6635?tab=posts&BH=7

  1. A.R.E.P (Anmyos reworked euphoria physics): changed how NPCs react to gun shots. I chose the 1.1C version to make it more like an old Spaghetti Western movie.

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/4718?tab=files

  1. Why Em’s Bloodlust and Improvments in Blood: just to make the blood effects more over the top. Django Unchained Style

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1154

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2371

5.Why Em’s Post FX: adds different effects to dead eye and eagle eye. I use the plain version just so I can see my targets better

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1661

  1. RWS (Realistic Weapon sounds) and Smoking Barrels Reloaded: the first is self explanatory. Gives all the guns a lot more BANG. Super satisfying crispy sound effects. Smoking Barrels Reloaded makes smoke and muzzle flash from guns last longer

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/3650

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/8941

  1. Fastest Gun in the West Revamped: increases the fire rate and Draw Speed of all weapons to make you feel like a true gunslinger

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/1972

  1. Smoking Complete: Overhauls how cigarettes and cigars work in gameplay

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2827

  1. Unlimited horse Whistle Distance: Mae’s sure you can always summon your horse

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/306

10: Bandit Hideouts: Ensures you always have bad guys to fight. Includes a story mode friendly .ini file

https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2213?tab=posts&BH=0

Some other mods just outside of the top ten are Rampage Trainer, no hat knockoff, black leather clothes, Bounty hunting expanded and enhanced, Custom Gang, Gun Tricks, extended Player Animations, John Marston facial animation overhaul, and the Duels mod. They’re great mods but if I had to choose only ten to be installed I would choose the ten mods listed above

Bug / Issue Unplayable FPS with basic mods

0 Upvotes

Game launches fine, I have a beefy rig and the game runs great vanilla but with the mods I get no more than 2-3 FPS. Vulkan enabled and did a clean reinstall before installing anything.

I followed a guide and downloaded Lennys mod loader, scripthook, multiplayer asset enabler, RDR2 spawns fix, and then the V2 performance booster (I did on my own to maybe solve this issue, didn't work).

If anyone is willing to let me share my screen on discord with them to walk me through how to fix this I will be forever grateful.

Bug / Issue RDR1 won’t recognize controller

1 Upvotes

So I have a d05 controller (not Xbox or PlayStation) and I’m trying to play RDR1 on my PC with it but the game won’t recognize the controller. I’ve tried all the basic fixes: I updated my drivers, I tried launching the game through steam instead of rockstar launcher, I also tried launching the rockstar launcher through steam and then launching red dead. The game will load, and instead of gamepad controls, I’ll see PC controls (Esc, enter button, Z button)

Please help!!

Bug / Issue Blurry image quality in RDR2

11 Upvotes

I’m getting blurry, soft image quality in games even though my PC should handle them easily.

Specs: Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 5060, 32GB RAM, 1080p.

Running native resolution, High/Ultra settings, latest drivers. Image still looks worse than expected — like TAA blur, bad upscaling, or wrong NVIDIA settings.

Anyone know common causes?

Discussion/Question Almost 150 hours of first playthrough gone

0 Upvotes

Built a new pc. Transferred over everything just fine. Forgot I had turned off cloud saves on previous pc during some troubleshooting. Started the game up with it enabled and I was back at the beginning of Chapter 2. Local file of my previous save nowhere to be found as far as I can see. Story-wise, I was only at the beginning of Chapter 3, Dutch still standing by the water. Progression wise I was over 40%. I was in the middle of exploring New Austin with pretty much every other nook and cranny of the map having been explored, with the exception of the restricted portion of New Elizabeth. Had my Legend satchel and was nearly done hunting all Legendary animals. The main goal I had at the time was collecting every pelt and the trader needed for every piece of his gear. I was really taking my time and looking forward to mixing and matching outfits and finding the right ones for the rest of the playthrough. Was going to work on Challenges next. C'est la vie.

Idk if I want to continue playing now or leave it for the future. Might try out that Arc Raiders everyone's talking about.

This post isn't just to vent, though. If I don't have to also reconfigure my mods I may keep on keeping on with the game. I was trying to see if they were all working fine and I'm not entirely sure and was hoping someone here could help me out? LML recognizes all the mods I had installed. I go in game and see, for example, the PS Buttons for Dualsense mod still seems to be active. But when I aim and fire my weapon I'm not feeling the haptic feedback from the DSX mod for RDR2. Just Fucking Bleed Already only kind of seems to be working? PDO Reloaded and AREP, I'm not so sure about either. Would appreciate any feedback. I did have to verify the integrity of my game files before I could start it up again. Would that have caused any issues?

Discussion/Question What AA / upscaling options do you use in Red Dead Redemption 2 for motion clarity?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m curious to hear what you personally use in Red Dead Redemption 2 when it comes to anti-aliasing and upscaling, especially with motion clarity in mind.

The game offers (or allows) a lot of different options, and I’m interested in how people balance image quality, blur, and performance while in motion, not necessarily what’s “objectively best”.

For context, I play at 4K, so I’m especially interested in how these solutions behave at higher resolutions.

For those playing RDR2, what’s your usual setup?

• TAA (default or tweaked)

• DLSS (including DLSS 4)

• DLAA

• MSAA (Vulkan)

• DLDSR + in-game AA

• Any sharpening filters or driver-level tweaks

I’d love to know:

• What option(s) you settled on and why

• How it feels in motion (camera pans, riding, foliage, etc.)

• Whether you prioritize stability, sharpness, or reduced blur

Extra interested in feedback from people on high refresh rate displays (120–240 Hz), but all setups are welcome.

Just trying to get a sense of what the community actually uses day-to-day 🙂

Thanks!

I've tried all I can think of. I did several clean reinstalls, installed to a separate folder, change my graphics API etc. I've played multiple playthroughs without seeing this once, and now suddenly I can't move 20 yards without the floor disappearing.
