Where is my steam key?
Is there a way to find my rdr2 game key on steam? My game was working 1 hour ago and now launcher says i don't own the game.

Yesterday i clicked a fishy link, it was a auto virus message from one of my friends on steam for a voting. I wonder can someone get into my account, get the key and activate it somewhere else?

On rockstar website it shows that i own the game.

if you activated that key - cant be activated again ... where did you bought a key ? there was some problems with keys from shady sellers .... but if you bought it on steam support should fix this .....

Happened to me as well. I had to restart a couple of times and then it worked again.
Was it a message like " Your account is not authorized to launch RDR2"?

Yes i think i had that error too while trying fixes, but most error i got was something like "you don't have this game on this account"

no, they can see a games key if you have it but it's useless (doesn't matter in this case though, RDR2 doesn't have a key. older games typically do but newer games just use the launcher to check you own the product)

a lot of the time this comes from steam or a launcher not being able to locate the game. should verify game cache and double check your directories before anything else to make sure all files are there.
I believe Rockstar is strict with this, they check for all the files being there and the same. It's how they caught GTAO modders

i installed scripthook to use lennys trainer and free camera, it was working, then i wanted to use simple gang war mod aswell then game was no longer starting, i thought it was something with the mods, deleted them and problem was still present, maybe one of the mods corrupted a while somewhere i don't even know, i tried many fixed, verifying files, drivers all kind of things, nothing worked so i uninstalled everything and downloading them again.

How did you fix this if you dont mind me asking? I had the same problem i talked to rockstar customer services and they fixed it for me but im having problems downloading it again. I downloaded all 116gb on my HDD and a lot of ♥♥♥♥ didnt load in game, So i re installed to my SSD and now after a day of playing it. For some weird reason Its re-downloading all the 116gb again even though the game is already installed. I tell you rockstar social club is ♥♥♥♥♥.
