RDR2 is broken on my pc!

[JP]

Well, since the last update, I just can't play Red dead 2. Sometimes, I start the game and on the initial loading screen the game crashes, and with that my PC also crashes, and I have to forcefully reboot it. When I get past the loading screen and the game really starts, I do a few things and BRAKE EVERYTHING. I can't leave the game screen or open the task manager.

Again, I have to forcefully restart my computer. And no, it can't be something on my computer, because I already have more than 72 hours of gameplay and NEVER anything like that happened. I always opened it and played without any problems. Now, in a simple alt tab, the game crashes my entire computer to absurd levels. This happened 5 times in a row, I just can't do anything in the game that crashes. I'm not sure if it's the fault of the last update, but these things only started to happen after it. And I play for Epic Games, not Steam, if that is necessary information.

Sorry for the bad english, i'ts from Google Translator.

It never crashed on me until the latest update, just had 2 crashes today.

I can absolutely confirm the last update has broken the game; currently with HDR on, the game will not get past the R* logo without freezing and crash, and without HDR on the game with boot up, get to the menu, start to load the game, then freeze up and crash.

If the menu is viewed for a small moment or if I browse the settings, it will freeze and crash shortly after getting to the menu screen.

Absolutely odd considering just 5 mins prior to these crashing issues, I was on the game in Story, noticed some graphical artifacts, saved and dropped my OC a few Mhz, and this started to occur.

Also unusual since prior to even getting on earlier today, the same crashing issues were occurring, yet after numerous tries, the game got started. IDK what the issue is, but the game is in no playable state atm.

Lol, Rockstar broke their own stupid game for thousands of players.

I have a triple monitor setup, and with Eyefinity off, when I start the game, it tries to force Eyefinity, two side monitors immediately go black, lose signal, regain signal, then all three go black and lose signal, then I hear a choppy version of the opening scene sounds with the shotgun, then all screens flicker, then go black, then lose signal, etc, etc, etc. Basically, even trying to play the game gives my computer seizures.

Nice job Rockstar, quality QC.

Yep, at this point it's ridiculous that they didn't catch this.

Forgot to add that after I'm forced to kill the game via the task manager, it for some reason throws everything open on all three monitors back onto my middle monitor, any and all browser tabs, any other open programs; they all get thrown to the middle primary monitor.

What a waste of time.

Ever done any programming? No.

Thanks for the monitor info.

As for time, well that's relative.

PS: So many people's copy of the game is running fine (including mine), there are people online playing their asss off. I'm just wondering why some are and some arn't.

Have same thing as Noth

I actually have, but not heavy game programming, just Python for forensic applications.

Yep.

Time is relative, I was speaking to MY time, not yours.

Thanks for your input.

If you run the game in Vulkan it will run. I set it to DX12 and crashes right before the gunshot. Also in the games XML file you can switch Async Compute from false to true and the game will run really good, why this isn't an option in the menu is beyond me. You might have to delete your settings folder located in the Documents folder to default it back to original settings. Its what I did. But ya they broke the game in any case.
