Another Instance of Red Dead Redemption 2 is already running

[Comrade Glootchi]

I havent even opened the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game and it says this. (Before anybody says anything, Yes, I do own RDR2, not on steam but on the rockstar launcher. I've put 288hrs into it.)
I've done the following to see if it would work to let me play the game again : stop any rockstar launcher processes in task manager, reboot my PC, verified game integrity, and ran as administrator. and i'm still not even ABLE to boot my game. whenever I launched as admin, I had task manager open to see if I am able to end the rdr2.exe task before it closed to see if that would let me play. it didnt.

I'm having the same problem. Did all the same things you did but it still thinks the game is already running., If i delete and reinstall the game will my save still be there?

Can you kill the process in Task Manager??

Yes, if you uninstall and re-install your save will still be there. your saves are (for the most part) saved in the cloud. and they're also stored locally on your harddrive.

download process explorer, run it as admin, rdr2.exe becomes suspended and hidden when you report certain cheaters
