Just a random collection of things related to Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online. From what I've heard Rockstar has pretty much abandoned the game at this point, but you can still make it enjoyable. See below for more.
Probably common knowledge by now and just saved here so I don't need to go looking. Created and published by people here and here and in other places. Just search for “Red Dead Online private session” using your favorite search engine.

Based on Hardware Unboxed' Red Dead Redemption 2 Optimization Part 1 and Part 2.
Reducing the game resolution should help a lot too, e.g. from 1920x1080px to 1600x900px.
