I continued working my way through Red Dead Redemption 2 today. I did the Bank Heist in Valentine and did a stage coach robbery camp activity too.

The game looks really gorgeous now that i don’t have to worry about FSR muddling everything up.

One example is the mentioned robbery mission. The whole quest had raindrop falling from the roof that i just couldn’t see before. Not to mention the way the bricks and stuff were wet from it.

I’ve done this robbery mission so many times now (in all honesty it’s probably about 4 though) that it feels like second nature. Usually i just blow the safes open. But this time i decided to pick them all. I made off with $3000.

While on my way back from this mission, i had to stop to do the Second part of the Downes quest. I stopped at their farm, and before talking to them i went and played with their animals. They had this adorable dog chilling in the back by the goats.

    Recently i have a fancy gaming PC to handle all the heavy work loads. Before that though (as in last january), i was limited to my Steam Deck as my only gaming device. The thing i learned then is that the hard part is finding a good balance between resolution and Graphic Levels.

    This isn’t formal advice from an expert or anything (i’m a Computer Science student who learned this stuff by messing with it), but I’d also advise to stay away from anything like DLSS and FSR unless you need them or you can drive them at high resolutions. They are kind of like AI upscaling for your game from what i know. If you have a low powered device, it’s a miracle worker but it also muddys the picture. I’ve also heard people say this same thing about TAA, but i don’t know about that one.

    If you’re doing screenshots on steam i’d also advice going into settings, and telling it to save screenshots as an uncompressed copy. Steam will save it as a JPG which can crunch the hell out of it.

    Another thing though is that i’ve noticed that when i do these screenshots it looks a lot better then what they look like in gameplay, so that’s something i’d keep in mind too
