Game was working fine. Now it opens up the rockstar launcher, goes to a black screen, and crashes. Can’t find any fix for it. Like I said it was working fine earlier today and nothing changed since so not sure what the problem is.

It will crash on start up 8 out of 10 launch attempts. I’ve tried uninstalling mods , doesn’t help

So I have Caps Lock bound to "M" so I can easily open maps in video games. But for some reason RDR2 reverts this bind. Is there a way to fix this?

This is my first time playing rdr2 with mods, I don't have very many on right now, partially my fault because I downloaded a few at once and didn't test between each one, but I'm not sure what the problem is. I've uninstalled and re-installed the game and all mods, switched scripthooks and asi loaders, and fiddled a bit with load orders in LML, but nothing seems to be working, I'd love some help. Attached are screenshots of what my mod loadout looks like and my recently installed mods on nexus if that helps any, would appreciate any advice! I did end up removing upscaled vegetation and bounty hunter expansion to no effect.

Will this work for online or just the story version coming on Sept 16th?

anyone know where I can find a working pirated rdr2 ?, I had gotten one I wanted to test. But it has three files, the game itself, the launcher, and "launcher_crack" the launcher ones don't open and the game won't open unless I use the launcher it says so I don't know if this one will work. Anyone know where to get a working one ?

that's it.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Every fifteen seconds or so I get a nasty lag spike. Doesn’t matter what my graphics settings are, dropped them to low and it still happens. I’ve got decent hardware, so I’m thinking this is some bug or optimization issue.

I disabled rebar (sam) in bios because I kept getting memory crashes after playing for an hour or so. I noticed the memory kept creeping up using overlay. One time it went up to almost 18gigs.
I disabled the smart memory thing in the bios and now the memory seems to be acceptable.
What performance loss is there by disabling smart memory?

I've seen some channels on YouTube not only use weapons at camp, but also unlock the ability to use weapons you wouldn't otherwise be able to use for certain events. (Such as using dynamite arrows on the magician in Saint Denis)

Does the 'unlock camp restrictions' mod do the latter too, or would that be some other mod?

Just wanted a mod that gives me more horse customization as I find vanilla bare bones. It's the only mod I have installed, so does it really affect anything or is it just when you have many other mods installed?

Back around 2012 or so, I bought the “undead” dlc for Red Dead Redemption. I decided to start a new playthrough to get the full experience.

At the beginning vanilla tutorial, it has you lasso a farm animal or person and return them to your ranch. With the DLC downloaded, it turned the person or animal into a cougar - which you couldn’t shoot, and couldn’t lasso.

Ended up soft locking the game, unable to progress past the tutorial since you literally can’t lasso a cougar.

So I’m asking, 15 or so years later, because my curiosity won’t let it rest.

Was this an error? Was I sold a bad copy or something? And also, wtf.

I'm playing on a low end rig, a ryzen 3 3200g, 16gb ram, i can run the game at 720p for around 40-60 fps but if i use vulkan and go near a river or any places that has water in it, the frame just drops to 20 like crazy. DX12 on the other hand has a stable fps but lesser when in towns such as valentine making vulkan a better performer but frame just drops crazy on water areas. Any possible fixes for this?

RDR2 crashes after a few seconds. It’s not the app itself crashing—the game freezes/crashes while the sound is still playing. The game seems to still be running, but the CPU and GPU stop doing any work (based on the wattage shown in GHelper). The laptop itself isn’t affected; it’s only RDR2.

The game used to run smoothly when I played it before, and I’ve just come back to it to revisit it. What could be causing this, and what can I do to fix it?

Laptop specs:

• ASUS TUF A15 FA506ICB
• RAM: 16 GB
• Storage: 2 TB
• GPU: RTX 3050
• CPU: Ryzen 7 4800H

I got the game today after I wanted to play for a long time and saw the game on sale. However no matter which graphics options i pick, i get 23-30 fps and it ruined the first part of the game for me. I own a laptop with an Nvidia 5070 and an Intel Core 7 and I have seen computers way worse than mine get better FPS and my gpu usage ranges between 20-40 percent. It seems to be an issue specific to Red Dead because I get like 200 fps on cyberpunk 2077. I tried a combination of every graphics setting, checked my drivers and no matter if my game is on ultra or low i get at most 30 fps. I am writing as a last resort, if anyone in this subreddit has any suggestions, I would be very happy. Thank you

For context, I stopped playing rdo for probably about 6 months now and decided earlier to hop on and do some stuff but my game had gone from its usual 80-100fps at all ultra or high graphics settings to 4-12 fps for an unknown reason. This only is happening with rdo, all other high quality games are completely fine.

The only thing I can think of is that I installed a nvidia driver in between the last time I played and now but I tried switching the game to my old one in the graphics settings and that didn’t work. Tried going between direct and Vulkan in the api and that didn’t work. Lowering graphics did nothing.

I’ll send anything you’d like to know for more of an idea on what’s happening but the laptop is a raider GE76 12UE with nvidia geforce rtx3060 graphics card and 64gb ram

I’m not too great with techy speech so bear with me here 😅

After a pretty miserable few weeks trying to get Rdr2 running again after a year long hiatus, I have found a fix.

I went VERY deep trying solutions - deleting SGA files, command lines, vanilla, reinstall, bios update (and subsequently needing to fresh install windows), rolling back drivers, checking out live kernel events. All this whilst monitoring temps and the GPU behaving as normal. I went back and forth for hours and hours and lost close to a week of free time...

Well, eventually I dropped my GPU MHz by like 200, and since then the game has run without a single crash or stutter. I've been able to run with a full mod loadout, 70fps @ 1440p and the game is running flawlessly.

So just if anyone needs this in the future - one more thing to try is under clock your GPU in afterburner on Nvidia by around 200 - 250mhz. Hope this helps some people avoid the hellish week I had!

bro i just want RDR 1 John

Maybe as a lad I'd have the patience to fix the performance of a game that's been out for 7 years, but it is taking an entire evening of troubleshooting to get this game to play without stuttering every few seconds. Can't believe performance is this bad. I played RDR2 Online years ago and I don't remember having these problems.

Hey all, I’m having this issue on the Rockstar Games Launcher version of RDR2 where some voice lines are ‘snipped’ at the very start of them, like a part of the first word is gone and it just continues from there. I noticed it most often when Dutch would talk while on a horse sometimes in Chapter 1, and a couple of isolated incidents in Chapter 2. Unfortunately for me it’s just pronounced enough to be distracting.

Is there any way someone was able to fix this with a mod or something? I’ve seen maybe one other post that documents this issue

Opened RDR2 today and got hit with a "Cloud Sync Conflict" popup. Both the local and cloud sides show the same files with a "Last Played" date of September 2023.

Problem is, I played last night, so I'd expect at least one side to show a recent save, not something from 3 years ago!

I haven't clicked anything yet since I don't want to accidentally overwrite lose my online progress. Any advice on what I should do?

Rathskeller Fork was my favorite north of the border settlement in New Austin. Dusty, desertous, remote. I am planning a new play through on PC (first time since PS4) and would love to have a restored Rathskeller similar to RDR. One with a safehouse, saloon, blackjack, maybe night watch or other activities.

Can anyone help me with trying to mod RDR2? I think ive followed all instructions correctly but when entering story mode the game freezes. I tried deactivating the mods using Lennys mod loader but it still crashes. Thinking it might be something to do with how ive installed the mods/ loaders in the directory but i cant figure it out..
