Game Will Not Launch / FATAL : Unknown Game Version / Script Hook Error

[H3D2IL]

I have this recurring issue where after just having bought, installed, and attempted to launch the game ( yes even as administrator), i cant seem to get it to run. It just shows me this error. If anyone can help me out, pleas let me know, there's no guide for this specific issue yet, at least none I've found.

You forgot the part where you (or someone >_>) installed outdated mods.
So - update them...

...or tear them out.
Rightclick rdr2 in steam, manage, browse installed files. Show files extensions in the rdr2 game folder. Sort. Delete ANY files that are NOT .rpf files. Leave all folders alone. Verify the game files through steam. Test. If certain files are hidden (which people have stated in the past in other cases... we could ask why.. but I digress..).

Can also use this to compare folder / remove anything not in it. Verify files after.

edit/below - Yea....... a dinput8.dll problem... that's a 'mod'. It certainly isn't a non-vanilla file. You replaced it or removed it is exactly what was stated.

I found a solution to this problem, I had a dinput8 dll, and it was he who was causing problems for me.I replaced it with the dll version, and everything worked!if you using mods,do it
