Procedure - Red Dead Redemption 2 Tests
Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2) is installed via Steam, and considered automated for runs via Markbench. Game settings must be changed in-game prior to a scheduled run in Markbench, and the game exited prior to setting up Markbench.
In Markbench, select the Red Dead Redemption 2 Test from the list on the left side of the Run Test(s) tab and ensure that the Run checkbox beside it is checked. Fill in the settings as follows:
- Project Slug should be the same as the Project Slug you are generating data for
- Test Parameter should be the same as the Test Parameter you are selecting to run, e.g. 'Games-1080', 'Games-1440', 'Games-2160' etc
- Scheduler Delay should be set to 5
- Recording Delay & Recording Timeout should be set to 0
- Repeat should be set to a minimum of 3 for a default run, unless changes are otherwise required
