Happens all over the game, earlier in the hennigans state and now In blackwater for me and my friend, third time for me today so yay.. The fix ONE bug, and they get like 7 seven new ones... :/ I really like the game so it's frustrating that rockstar won't fix it and ban the cheaters.

is it something they have to fix?

There are tons of theories and ideas of people claiming a success fixing it ; you can search in the topics and seek answer
..but the only thing I personally found working for me is just by rebooting .
It's not a permanent fix but it pervents it from happening constantly to me for the couple of hours I get to play each day.

Roll back your Nvidia driver. If you use Nvidia, worked for me went back to Version 532.03 (release date 05/24/2023) from 535.98 (release date 05/30/2023

How do I roll back the driver to a previous version?

Install DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) to uninstall the current graphics driver and download the previous graphics driver.

Turn off Vulkan in settings and make sure its DX12. Spent 5 hours to figure it out.

Has nothing to do with drivers. My wife and I play on completely different PC's, mine as well on Nvidia card and hers on AMD. We crash sometimes at the exact same moment with that FFFFFFFF error.

If most of the players in a session get crashed at the same time it's just a case of one mf modder injecting modding resouces into the game , nothing you can do about it

What is wrong with your PCs folks? The game should never do that in Story Mode. It's an RDO related error.

Verify your game cache.
Disable all/any Anti-Virus crap you're using.
Launch Steam via Run As Admin
Launch Rockstar Launcher via Run As Admin
Launch RDR2 from the Rockstar Launcher.

could i be a mods issue? i have to reinstall to see if it runs vanilla but i do have the red dead offline mod or whatever it is, WhyEmsDLC

You had mods? Ok that explains it then.

Right click RDR2 game in Steam Library > go to Properties > Local Files > Browse

It takes you to the folder the game is installed to.
Leave Windows/File Explorer open.

Switch back to Steam and Uninstall RDR2 game.

Now switch back to Windows/File Explorer and anything left over should be from your mods. Delete everything left inside this folder...
\Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2

Now download the game again.
When this is done, right click the game in steam > go to properties > local files > verify
Let that finish to ensure all game files are intact; nothing missing or corrupt. If there is, Steam will address this by redownloading fresh files just for the ones that are a problem.

Always good idea to do verify after a game download or update, just to be sure.

If you ever use game mods in the future, keep track of what the mod uses for files, so if you have an issue you could delete only the mod related files and avoid redownloading the entire game.
