I just Fresh installed RDR2 and now i get an error.. how do i fix this and what is causing it ?
Game has NO mods , none.
And yes , i have a LEGAL copy via Steam. i have about 200-ish hours played already on this game but i cannot for some reason get this game to launch.
Can someone help please ?

When you uninstall the game it removes the game files but leaves the game directory folder and any files you added intact. So when you reinstall the game it all goes back to how you left it. You need to update that mod or remove the files you added. It sounds like your scripthook mod is out of date.

I have never ever modded this game , i don't even know how to mod it.
IDK , i guess i could just delete everything and just reinstall it again. I don't know any other way.

Script Hook isn't in the game folder - until you (or someone at your house) put(s) it in there.

Here is what a Vanilla Game Folder Looks like:

You make yours look just like that - deleting every 'Extra' file and folder in your game directory - then verify game files - and your game might work again.

well , there was that one time i let my brother play on my computer for a few day when i was out on a run. I'm a trucker , maybe he tried modding the game. hmm... ok , well thank you . i'll just wipe the game and the files and try again. cheers.

Also manually delete the Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2 folder from 'Documents'.
Manually removing ALL RDR2 sources BEFORE you re-install will ensure you get a 100% Vanilla Game again.

Note: you will lose settings and saves - but that's the way it goes. <--- if you try what I suggested first - only remove extra files and folders in the game directory-then verify game files - you might be able to 'Fix' this thing without a 'total wipe'.

You could save the settings (it's called system.xml) and saves if you want to delete stuff out of the documents folder. I did a quick search for that error. See if you have a file called "script hookRDR2.dll" in your game directory. If so get rid of it and it should clear up that error for you. And it should be easy enough to use that screen shot above to get rid of any other junk you might have in there.

Doing this will delete your local save files and reset all of your graphics settings so avoid doing this if you want to keep those.

Deleting the steam files is enough to remove the mods/scripthook.

Considering the OP doesn't know what mods and tools were installed, the clean installation (by deleting steam files) is probably the best plan. There can be a number of additional oddly named files that could cause issues if not deleted.

I would dread reinstalling with my current internet speeds, but if it has to be done it has to be done I suppose.

I don't even know what delete steam files means. The guy posted a screenshot of a clean install. OP should do like the guy says and make it look like that.

Yea, 'Scorching The Earth' is probably the solution of last resort.

'Verify Game Files' only makes sure you have all the Vanilla Game Files. It doesn't remove extra files/folders that may be in the game directory - so even if you delete some game files by accident or design - you'll get those back when you 'Verify'. <---that'll be 'cheaper' than a full install, at least.
