The game closes only in online mode

[Kikatchu]

I'm playing quietly and suddenly after 10/20 minutes of playing, it closes by itself and no message appears. I've switched to DX12, set the game to run as administrator, and disabled full screen optimization. I have updated all the drivers on my PC and my graphics card, I have also tried changing the date and touching game settings and nothing, it keeps closing by itself.

Does anybody know how I can fix it?

[Kikatchu]

PS: I don't think it's because of my PC since it is new and more than meets the requirements of the game.

Specs PC:

- NVIDIA 4060 TI 8GB

- AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 4.7gz

- Adata XPG D35 2x16gb RAM DDR4 3600mhz

- Adata 800 Legend 1TB m.2

mine does as well for some reason

My whole Gang has the same problem. The Game is unplayable since a few days

[✪ BUNLU]

Yes it happens to me too . I am relieved to hear from you guys. Is there any solution

[NotRangerYT]

Same here last few days are very bad, I have NVIDIA RTX 4050 & intel i7 13 gen cpu & 32GB DDR5 RAM, 1TB M.2 SSD

I tried every graphics settings and changes network and did clear temp files and verified my installation files , updated my graphics card drivers and run as administrator too.

It crashes without any message in Online only.

Same for me, game is not playable.

I saw a solution that a user provided that consisted of creating a private session because they said it was because of hackers in public sessions, and it is not true, because being in a private session without any player, the same thing also happens.

If you are interested in knowing how to create a private session but make it public at the same time for you and your friends, you should do this: Task Manager > Performance > Open the Resource Monitor (lower left corner) > Network > RDR2.exe (right click and suspend) > After 5/10s RDR2.exe (right click and resume).

If your game crashes without any errors, the crash may be caused by modders as well.

I had made a workaround sheet on the Red Dead Online Discord server, pasting the fixes which you can try:

Q: Crashing randomly and stuttering.
-> Unlink Documents from OneDrive & stop syncing files inside Documents\Rockstar Games. Consider uninstalling this app.
-> Delete all files named with the prefix sga_ located inside Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings.
-> Clear the Temp folder (%temp%).
-> Delete DirectX Shader Cache via Disk Cleanup.
-> Delete Shader Cache stored by Steam inside steamapps\shadercache\1174180 or 1404210.
-> Switch to Vulkan.
-> Clean re-install GPU drivers (use DDU if possible) or Roll-back to a previous version of the driver.
-> Vulkan & Steam users: Enable Shader Pre-Caching under (general) Steam Settings.

Q: ERR_GFX_STATE.
-> Try the above steps. ^
-> Revert any overclocking done to hardware, disable XMP.
-> Switch the API under Advanced Graphics settings.

Q: ERR_GFX_INIT.
-> Re-install GPU drivers (Use DDU).

Q: ERR_GFX_D3D_SWAPCHAIN_ALLOC_2.
-> Update Windows 10/11 to the latest build.

Q: ERR_GFX_D3D_DEFERRED_MEM.
-> Disable overlays from Steam, RivaTuner, Discord, etc.
-> Lower some of the graphics settings; even if it's under suggested limits.

Q: ERR_MEM_VIRTUAL_OUT_OF_MEMORY.
-> Clear space in your C drive and the drive where your game is installed.
-> Let Windows manage paging for your drives.

Thanks for the information, I have tried everything except the errors you mention, since no errors appear, it just closes out of nowhere and that's it. I guess we'll have to wait for them to fix it, because it's happening to a lot of people these days, even my friends, it's unplayable. It makes me angry because the game looks great and has a very good gameplay and despite this error they are losing many users and receiving criticism.

[rshakur]

i have the same i con not play, game is non stop crash, sometimes i dont have map, manu. And now is happen i game is not starting olny show rockstar app and nothing start.

[gangster1979]

yes i have the same started yesterday and it gets worse tried to clear more memory , lowered stats did change to dx 12 nothing works , it's triggered whenever i try to do a mission

[conrads]

Same here. I can use any country on vpn or no vpn, just closes. Now if I open wilderness camp I get error FFFFF and closes. I tried all the things mentioned before, nothing works. Just closes. Cant do challenges noting. Somehow it remembers if money was spend or shots fired etc, but it doesn't remember if you are halfway (2 of 3 flowers) or (1 of 6 carcasses), just resets to 0 collected after rebooting into the game after it closed. This sux. Where is Rockstar because I am sure it happened after this snow rubbish updates...

[ScarletStreak]

Activities like starting a mission off a bounty board, finishing a mission, using wilderness camp, opening Moonshine shack's door are all activities which have a chance to trigger a session change.

Any session changes are unstable at the moment when it tries to happen behind the scenes - primarily the session host changing cause of quitting the game or can also be unstable P2P connectivity.

Playing in a solo session using startup file will effectively minimize this drastically since you'll always end up in a solo session and since that session hop is successful, the FFFFF error will be bypassed. i.e. game will not crash as compared to being in a public lobby.

[Vladzilla]

ah the FFFFFF error is back, dunno why but this seems to be there for a brief time and then disappear. and it is doing this since launch.
