GAME CRASHES WHEN I START STORY MODE

[bezerrinha123]

I played for 10 hours and it was a very nice gameplay, my fps was between 52 and 60. However, suddenly the game keeps crashing when i start story mode, and since steam won't retrieve my money, i can't do anything. Please someone help me!! I've tried a lot of solutions, but none of them worked.
my specs: gtx 1070, ryzen 7 1700, 8gb ram 2400mhz

Same thing happened to me. but online works just fine which is the weird part. Strangely enough i haven't been able to do single player since around the time it started to snow in online. maybe somehow the winter update to online somehow effected single player??

Got the same issue since the winter update.

I've heard of 3 options for this so far.

1 - Try removing the gcs files in settings folder.
\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings

2 - Change to DX12 from Vulcan (worked for me)

3 - Load online, then story.

Maybe you've tried these already?

All random in game crashes I've had (about 5) were in the beginning of the game.
Except for ERR_GFX_STATE: which happens when loading into the world, I haven't experienced any in game crashes when I got deeper into the game.
Between 30 hours and 127 hours in to the game, I haven't had a single CTD.

Go into Documents > Red Dead Redemption > Settings > delete the 3 files that start with svga. These are the Vulkan runtime files. I played the game for long time and then all of the sudden, crash with GTR ERROR STATE.

How do you change to DX12 from Vulcan? Sorry if this is a stupid question, I'm not a tech guy. I am able to get online to work but not story mode.

Edit: This is also just after I bought the game. I have never played story mode because it crashes right after the loading screen and the first few lines of backstory.
