FFFFFFF error is ruining the game.

[Raye_Raye]

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this error? We all have been getting it in multiplayer (I play with 4 friends and they all have the random crashes). We troubleshooted drivers, peripherals, start-up programs, vRam, disabled audio devices, shaders, updated windows, etc... We are at a loss. I'm not seeing any pattern that is causing in-game. TIA

Rockstar sleeps when they are having one of the biggest cyber security breaches in gaming history.
You think they care about some minor crashes?

Wait I thought the FFFFFFF error was the game and the rest was a bug, thanks for clarifying that.

I've been doing everything I can to try and fix this error with no luck for over a month now. Spent several hours w/ R* support w/ no resolution as well. Some people say they've been able to fix it several different ways but many people are in the boat as me where none of these fixes work.

The thing that's causing it is modders. If you go into your documents, look for Rockstar Games, then Red Dead Redemption 2, then go into the Settings folder. Delete everything that isn't the system.xml. Unfortunately, this is a band-aid because the next modder you come across will give you the same crash. Only way to get around it is to do a private session, look up how to start one, me and my friends added a text document into the files that worked like a passcode to keep other people without it out of the session. Ever since then, no FFFFFFF errors for any of us.

Do you mind sharing the text document you used to keep other people?

Yes thats the point. No more hackers. If you want your friends to join have them do the same thing and share the password with them and you can have a group lobby.

And if you don't want to do that you're currently setting yourself with this. Its just not GTAO but on RDR20 too. Players beware !!!

September the 6th 2022 update killed the game for many Nvidia users.

Tell me you're not a Nvidia user.

Did not work

I've had pretty good luck with some of the fixes I've found online when googling the issue - also one thing I have NOT found online is that for some people, myself included, slow and steady and slippery bastard are broken and cause FFFF errors on launch of deadeye.

This solved the issues for all 4 of us . Much appreciated... we opted for private sessions.

Dang it. My folder system is different. No x64 or data folders.
