Red Dead Redemption 2 May 4 PC update patch notes
While there weren't any official patch notes when we originally put this article together, Rockstar has now updated the site with official details. Previously all we knew was that the patch seemed to have fixed the game's issues with TAA Sharpening. These changes were detailed in this Chatty post from Shadowdane, which showed off the changes made with the update.
Since the original post went live, Rockstar has since released the full patch notes for the PC only update on the Rockstar support website. These patch notes include:
- 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 an issue that caused some system configurations to misreport the amount of free video memory available for the game to use
- Fixed caching issues that caused graphical issues and missing UI that occurred after upgrading a system’s graphics card
- Fixed a rendering issue with shimmering/flickering textures near campfires when Parallax Occlusion Mapping was set to Ultra quality

- 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

If you’ve missed it, we’ve been playing our way through Red Dead Redemption 2’s campaign again over on the official Shacknews Twitch channel with our Managing Editor, Bill Lavoy. He’s got a great eye for the frontier, and does a great job of showing you around without spoiling things. So, if you’ve been wanting to see some of the cowboy action from the single player, but haven’t felt like playing through it yourself, then you can tune in throughout the week to see Bill take on the wild lands as Arthur Morgan and the rest of the Van der Linde gang.
