Mate i was making me crazy why the game was having 60fps-70fps and it was still feels sluggish. Thank you so much!

THX man before this option this game in my computer
massacre had a lot of lag cut and poor fluidity now the game works perfectly one simple trick and so much helped again thanks :)

I just went through Saint Denis for the first time without any stuttering. Core i5 7600k. Seems to have taken care of the issue!

[ubikmax]

I got it, that flag makes picture warmer :D Still wondering, why damn it, rockstar didn't apply it automatically, just few ppl will be able to apply it manually. Thanks for the video, man

[celestinonatale]

This worked wonders with my i7-6700HQ, thank you very much!

[bringbackthes]

awesome! im def gonna try this out with dx12 as i been getting a little bit of freezing during gameplay.

[thinkerxxix]

What do you do if the settings doesn't have a "My Installed Games" section? It's just not there

[kimjongwin]

Looks like rockstar removed this option in the latest launcher

[Lunatalli]

hey mate, do you know what exactly this does? I have ryzen 3600 and it is not just RDR2. It is literally every AAA game that I have these microfreezes with inconsistent frametime. This helped. I want to know if it is possible to somehow use it in every game

[rahul-qmfi]

Can I jut add this to the exe file instead if I don't have rockstar launcher?

[massimo]

"freezing issues on CPUs below 8 cores/threads when using Vulkan API."

So you use a Ryzen 3700x which has 16 threads..

[Kyle-pjvc]

Having frametime issues with a 5900x, will see if this works with a 12 core CPU.

[guaxinimrobo]

is that a way to do this without rockstar launcher? my game is cracked

[hexxat]

You literally saved my life, even if I did not manage to gain fps, if the stuttering stopped. Thank you

In steam it worked for me +1 sub

[LOOTLORD]

Good infos, gonna use it anyway. every single frame counts. +1 like. Next time sub.

[SevenSkylines]

When you go into settings there is no longer a "My installed games" section. Did they remove it?

[ahmedalsaleh]

do i need to change anything in the settings? because nothing is written there only letters, i cant see on or off or what is the type of the thing i wanna change i only see letters. Please help me :(
Edit: oh wait this is only for computers with cpu's? doesnt work with laptop? :(
Its ok i liked the tutorial

[payphone]

Hey bro i have i3 9100f and the game pirated sttuters, so you think is worf buy original game and use this?

[Zyllot]

hey i bought the game through steam and i can't find the option to add a launch argument on the rockstar games launcher, can i add "-cpuLoadRebalancing" on steam under the "launch options" section?

[narendrashukla]

Launch arguments not working for steam 😓
