> power cycle your Modem/Router

> flush local LAN/WIFI device DNS

> launch Rockstar Launcher by itself, if logged in, log out. Otherwise re-enter login info and select auto+remember me.

> restart your PC and try again

The game is fully active, it's just the Social Club app doesn't want to start the game up after the Cocstar logo. I also tried what you noted, but that did not work. Same message as usual.

Your message indicates an issue between your PC or ISP to the Rockstar Social Club Network. Just restart the game.

Telling someone to restart a game does not help when you know full well that myself and others have done that many, many times to no avail.

I just realised mine didn't launch because the Rockstar launcher was on another drive than the game so move the launcher on the same drive, in case it isn't

i actually had a response from Rockstar. The suggested solution did not work but, here is what Rockstar suggested.

i had problems with the launcher from the start when i bought the game in december.. (i think after christmas) now i can start he effin lanucher and log on.. but it was a pure luck. .because.. i gave up on it.. tried everything on their site.. offcours ethe admin permisions and allowed exceptions in antivirus program for the game file and launcher and so on.. but ONE DAY.. maybe 5 days ago.. i got a screen when the launcher started that is donwloading an update.. and after that i for the first time have been able to see my account and i can click on "play on steam" button next to the RDR online game (i cant see any RDR2 ultimate icon in RSC launcher anywhere so i am trying to start the game thru that icon.. and it turns blank for 4-5 seconds and sets back to normal as it was before.. steam is telling me by the play button that the game is running but i cant see any game running.. :(

That was the first reply I originally got before they stopped talking to me about the problem. Instead of trying to figure out the issue, they gave up. Verifying your game files is the FIRST thing any sane Steam player would do, so giving that reply by R* just shows they don't give a crap.

Is this fixed yet? I am so tired of redownloading whole 120gb over and over.

It is at least for me. I did nothing to solve the problem except to play with an VPN for the last month. I tried every now and then without and since a couple of days I can start the effing rstarlauncher without problems and play without VPN again. So they must have fixed something. but hey, that's just for me.....

[FriedTeto]

well the launcher website doesn't work it just go timed out, maybe more waiting?

[Theonethathasnoname]

I disabled the intel GPU
Made all the .exe run as administrator
Updated the vulkan files
But it seems only when i used the steam beta update option from the settings i was finally abled to run it.
The steam prompts that the compatibility is on windows 7 thought and then it run smoothly

Also Below are actions that may help if you are experiencing connection issues or receiving connection error messages while playing Red Dead Online on PC.

Check your network connection and Rockstar Games Service availability

Check to make sure your internet connection is working properly
Check the Rockstar Games Service Status for server outages or scheduled maintenance:
https://support.rockstargames.com/servicestatus
If the Red Dead Online Status currently says Up, the problem may be related to some connection types conflicting with other players, or other problems with your network setup.

Check your internet connection speed

Use an online speed test to measure your connection speed (Ex. https://www.speedtest.net/). Below are good targets for minimum upload and download speeds:

Download Speed: 7.5 Mbps
Upload Speed (recommended): 1 Mbps
Upload Speed (minimum): .5 Mbps
Note: If you are on a wireless connection and still having issues, try a wired connection.

Check your open network ports

Red Dead Online requires the following ports to be open:

Port 6672 (UDP)
Port 61455 (UDP)
Port 61457 (UDP)
Port 61456 (UDP)
Port 61458 (UDP)
Change your Domain Name Servers (DNS)

Go to Settings
Click Network and Internet
Under Advanced network settings, click on Change adapter options
Right-click on your Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection, depending on which you are currently using, then select Properties
Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and make sure the box is checked
Click Properties
Select Use the following DNS server
Enter the following DNS addresses in their respective text box:
Preferred DNS server: 8.8.8.8
Alternate DNS server: 8.8.4.4
Select Validate settings upon exit
Click OK
Select Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6) and make sure the box is checked
Click Properties
Enter the following DNS addresses in their respective text box:
Preferred DNS server: 2001:4860:4860::8888
Alternate DNS server: 2001:4860:4860::8844
Select Validate settings upon exit
Click OK
Reset your network router

You can reset your router by unplugging it and leaving it unplugged for about 10 minutes. Once you plug your router back in and can connect to the internet, launch Red Dead Online and check to see if your issue is resolved.

socialclub.rockstargames.com was timing out for me .
router restart fixed it

[Phaota]

Tried the DNS settings, as well as using my ExpressVPN. Neither worked. I've already tried the other options to no avail.

[Isuka]

I have played the game without any problem since I got it, but yeterday I could not start it because of rockstar launcher error and with the website i had the same issue.
Turned off the router for minutes but this did not solve the problem.

I went to the router settings in borwser and then just disconnected and reconnected the connection. This makes new ip address, it helped me out of this frustrating bs, now i can play again.

[JoHn_SiCk]

Faced the same issue after the recent update..posting here what worked for me.

1.Start Rockstar Games Launcher (not from steam, separately) but with your internet off.
2. It will display a long message in red about not being online and sh*t..dont bother just close and exit
3. On your internet now
4. Launch Rockstar Games Launcher again..it will do some update automatically and login window will pop up..login and logout.
5. Now start steam and run rdr2..it will launch.

This is not a guaranteed solution but it worked for me.
