I delited all files from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings except "system" and rolled back video drivers (I think it's 446.14 version). Now everything works fine.

Did you have the problem that the game crashes when you click on something in the game menu?

Ok, rollback to older graphic drivers is useless. Don't waste your time.

Not really. After 7 28 update I had a huge number of problems. Crashes when loading save from main menu, sometimes when I tried to change the graphics settings. err gfx state, sometimes even a blue screen with different error messages on them especially in borderless windowed mode.

Rollback 446.14 had no effect on me

Just installed the Nvidia driver which has been released today. And still RDR2 does not work for me, I knew it wouldn’t work but tested it anyway.

Might be just a coincidence, but I updated my Windows 10 to build 2004 and all my RDR2 issues are gone (crash in menu, crash at start up, crash at alt-tab, crash on DX12). Might have been just a windows problem. I'm tryin' to make it crash for the 4th time now after multiple restarts.

You guys should give it a try for yourself (if you're not on 2004 alrdy)

I am on Win10 2004 and get the ERR_GFX_STATE error (I get into the game and can play but will crash randomly), cleaning the pipelinefiles does not help the error, I use DX12 Api and was gaming 60 hours without a single crash and now am trapped with this mess!

Coincidence. Tried it a week ago and did not fix the problem for me.

I disabled the ingame upscaling (was using 1.25x ) and switched to Vulkan Api it might be working now but am tired too tired now after two hours trying to get the game running (no crash in 10 minutes before always under 5min)

Gonna test more tomorrow if you are upscaling in RDR2 settings you can ry to set it to off, not sure yet if that was causing my problems since the update

Hello Actartus,

Thank you for writing back to us.

This issue could be caused by a program running in the background coming in conflict with either the game or a supporting service. The steps below can help troubleshoot by disabling any background programs unrelated to running the game as well as how to perform a Clean Boot.

Disabling Unnecessary Programs

Close the game and any launcher you may be using
Press Ctrl + Shift + ESC to open the Task Manager
Select the Process tab under Task Manager
Under the Apps section of the Process Tab
Select each program that is not the Task Manager
Press ALT + E to close the application
Close the Task Manager
Relaunch the game you were trying to play
If this does not resolve your issue, we suggest you perform a Clean Boot with only Microsoft and Rockstar services enabled to help diagnose the issue.

Performing a Clean Boot on Windows 10

Sign into your computer using an account with Administrator privileges
Press the Windows key to bring up the Start Menu
In the Search box on the Taskbar, type msconfig and select System Configuration
On the Services tab under System Configuration
Select the Hide all Microsoft services check box
Disable all services except the Rockstar Games Library Service
Select the Startup tab under System Configuration
Select Open Task Manager
Select the Startup tab under Task Manager
Select each item and then click Disable
Close Task Manager
On the Startup tab under System Configuration
Select OK
Restart your computer
Relaunch the game you were trying to play
If the issue continues to occur, please feel free to reach us.

Best regards,

Rockstar Support


If anyone wants to try what rockstar suggested to me, it obviously didn't work for me and I await their response .......
Maybe someone else will be luckier ..........

Apparent rollback of update, new Nvidia driver, still crashes 😭

Guys, i have found a temporary FIX for this problem.
Just download RedM client until rockstar fixes his garbage game. I am updating the client right now, i heard this fixes the problem and let you play the game.

edit: RedM is like FiveM for gta v, but apparently it lets you play without the annoying crashes.

[Chauci 𐛧]

Downgrade the game to 1.0.1232.62 and the Problem is GONE (at least for me no crash in an hour) time R* acknowledges this bug already!

0. You need .NET Core Runtime : https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
1. Get DepotDownloader: https://github.com/SteamRE/DepotDownloader
2. Open a commandline and cd to the DepotDownloader folder
3. depotdownloader.bat -app 1174180 -depot 1174184 -manifest 927270803708030361 -username STEAMUSER -password STEAMPASS -validate
4. Wait until downloads are finished, then put steam into offline mode
5. Copy the files you downloaded with DepotDownloader into your Red Dead Redemptiopn2 folder

Optional steps:
6. Hopefully have fun without the crash
7. Read: https://www.reddit.com/r/PCRedDead/comments/ibo56z/today_r_pissed_me_off_to_the_nth_degree_calling/
8. Raise awareness!

I was wondering the other day if that might fix something for some people, just haven't had the time to look at it (I was also a apprehensive about trying it as it could get you banned...)
Thanks for looking at it, will try it myself see if it works for Shadow users as well.

I don't think it is bannable, it's just another client and you must have the game.
