In other words, the patch doesn't do much beyond fixing a few random issues with the Red Dead Redemption 2 campaign and online modes. For example, those playing Red Dead Online have had trouble starting Stranger Missions, while lag and server disconnects remain a constant problem. Update 1.04 may not totally solve everything in those areas, but there are likely some worthwhile improvements worth testing out.
Interestingly enough, one issue that has yet to be fixed is the ongoing HDR blur effect that takes place across PS4, PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. While HDR is typically leveraged to enhance shadow detail and color depth on compatible displays, most players have found that the image quality is best with the feature turned off. That's still the case after installing update 1.04.
This update arrives just a few days after the development team at Rockstar Games announced major changes to the controversial in-game economy of Red Dead Online. Since then, players have received free in-game gold alongside increased reward payouts for completing missions. With those tweaks adjusted on the server side, this title update cleans things up within the actual game files.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PS4 and Xbox One. Update 1.04 is live on both platforms.
