Can't Login into Rockstar Launcher

[Prismo420]

I literally can not get past the login screen, the Sign in button is just a spinner, then after 10 seconds this following message appears:

Could not connect to the reCAPTCHA service. Please check your internet connection and reload to get a reCAPTCHA challenge.

I've tried resetting my router, connecting to my mobile hotspot and allowing the launcher through my firewall through the windows 11 control panel. Nothings has worked.

Does anyone have any solutions to this? very surprised Rockstar haven't fixed this issue yet.

I couldnt get my game to work for over 6 months until last night. When i would click to launch RDR2 it would act like the game was loading, get the spinning wheel for about 10 secs, then it would just stop. Never could get into the title screen. After months of looking on the web, uninstalling/reinstalling, updating drivers. Messing with rock* launcher, nothing worked.... Until last night i i went to delete my settings.xml file. The one that has your graphics settings inside and you can edit with notepad. But it wasnt there.. So i copy/pasted someone elses settings.xml into the red dead 2 settings folder in the documents folders. It booted right up then i adjusted my graphics setting back in game menu that finally loaded.

create a sub folder "Settings" under Documents/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2

create a blank txt file with the Editor and rename it "system.xml"

Edit the file with the editor and paste the following information into it:

It may take 1-2 min to load so be patient cause the came is configuring the settings again


Yes make a new/add settings folder in your rdr2 documents folder. If it doesnt have it. Mine didnt. Thats why this worked for me. Copy past this as a .xml file so you can view with notepad. Even though towards the bottom is says my gpu the game should rewrite that when it recognizes your gpu. Youll have to go in adjust your graphic setting to your liking but dont touch the DX12 option or change it. If your game has DX12 issue and only runs Vulkan you can now change that to in this this and save it.
