The game does not open!
I just bought the game and when I start it the Rockstar launcher opens but the game closes after a second, is there a solution available?

Thank you...!

Ok so most of you seem to just have issues connecting to the SocialClub Servers. Let me just say this is normal during a sale such as the Steam Sales where RDR2 is heavily discounted. This always causes problems due to the very high number of new accounts + new players all getting onto that system at the same time. However this does not mean it will directly effect other games such as GTAV/GTAO

Verify your game cache first of all since RDR2 is a very large game.
When finished doing that, go back to the Properties of RDR2 in Steam and click the option to "Browse to local files". Once there go to the Redist folder and install each of the Rockstar apps; the Runtime and then the Launcher. When doing so, right click such an installer and click RUN AS ADMIN.

When all done exit the Rockstar Launcher and Steam entirely.
Wait about a good minute, then right click Steam and click RUN AS ADMIN. Always run Steam this way, otherwise it can't work properly. Now right click the Rockstar Launcher from your Desktop and click RUN AS ADMIN. Enter your login info in the R* Launcher and click AUTO + REMEMBER ME. Once logged into that. Now launch the game either from the R* Launcher or from Steam. Either method does the same thing.

Same issue on a freshly installed Win10. I just bought a new pc to play this and now the game doesn't launch ffs.

Well that is actually expected. A new PC will be missing all sorts of things a Gamer needs. They are never already installed out of the box.

First wipe all the Drivers and reboot and go download + install all the latest official ones from the various chipset makers; Intel, AMD, NVIDIA, Realtek; etc.

Before you do that though, first do Windows Updates and update until there are no more updates to do. Many reboots may be required to reach this point. When all done there, reboot once more, then wipe the Drivers like I said.

You also need to install all the latest for NET Framework and Visual C++ Runtimes, as well as DirectX Runtimes and Vulkan. The Vulkan Runtime will be included as part of your AMD or NVIDIA GPU Drivers.

Prior to launching RDR2, if you have an onboard AMD or Intel GPU, go into Device Manager and disable that, then launch RDR2. Once you've gotten into RDR2 and configured your graphics settings, exit the game to fully apply. This saves them to a file called SYSTEM.XML which will be stored here > Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings

Edit the file with Notepad and change the two adapter settings, so they are set to 1 and not 0 (this is for when you have 2 GPUs; Onboard + Dedicated, because on these systems, the Dedicated GPU will be #1, not #0). Once this is changed and you've saved the file, re-enable your onboard GPU from device manager. Then launch the game again to verify it working properly.

I have solved this for me, it ended up being really stupid. I have FTTP internet via Vodafone, and I had to HARD reset the router (via the recessed switch). In the end I was having problems with so many PC apps, Windows Update and also unrelated IoT devices seeming to be online but not functioning properly.

Thank you for your response. The problem for me was that the intro video could not be played due to missing codecs. Instead of just skipping the video, the game would just quit.
I solved this by installing the Media Feature Pack from the Windows optional features. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/media-feature-pack-list-for-windows-n-editions-c1c6fffa-d052-8338-7a79-a4bb980a700a

IDK why people insist on installing Windows N Editions. Especially if you are a Gamer.

But yes many games, including but not limited to games such as GTA4, 5 and RDR2 will not launch properly at all without that media pack if using Windows N Edition.

I did at first because I don't need a media player installed. But yes, I reinstalled the normal win10 pro and no problems since.

Played this a year a go without issue on my current PC, after a reinstall the game won't launch. I have tried a variety of fixes and nothing listed in this thread has worked. Disappointing, not worth investing anymore time to just try get the game to launch. Will not be recommending via steam.

Cause games on Steam do not "install" or "uninstall"
They don't work like that.
And when you do use uninstall option. Only some core game files are removed, not everything.

Go and wipe everything and every folder on your PC for the Rockstar SocialClub and Launcher. There are multiple places for everything for those. Once both are uninstalled and all folders wiped out for those, install them from the game folder > Steam\steamapps\common\Red Dead Redemption 2\Redistributables

Install using the Run As Admin option when you right click the installers.

Launch Steam and Rockstar Launcher via Run As Admin.

I had the same issue, i think. The game quitted right after the initial progess bar was done. It never got as far as the menu.

Don't think the first step is needed, but this was still the things I did:

- started Rockstar Game Launcher as admin (right click at it in the Start menu)
- started RDR2 as admin (right click at it in the Start menu)
- game quitted as before, but I got a Windows notification saying "Virus & threat protection - Unauthorized changes blocked" for the game (RDR2.exe perhaps?).
- allowed that file to do changes, and stepped ~100 years back in time.

I am not saying this is the solution for you, but it was for me.

Just ensure Rockstar Launcher is not set to Start with Windows.
No Game Client should "Start with Windows" otherwise it can not "Run As Admin" like it needs to.

If you just launch Steam Client via Run As Admin, everything it in-turn launches will also launch via Run As Admin.

If your Anti-Virus is that picky then you may need to exclude entire folders such as the root folders for Rockstar Launcher, Steam Client, Steam Library. Or just get rid of that AV suite as it's obviously not doing a good job and IS your problem at-hand from normal trusted things working as they should.

Guys, its very nice that all of You wants to help us, but to be honest its up to Rockstar to figure it out and make it playable. Half of your tips doesn't work, other half is way to complicated to run a game worth so much money.
Yeah, I've already started to be angry.

The game is no longer supported by the Devs. Many can't launch it cause of the junk on their PC. Or they don't know how to configure their 3rd party anti-virus suite... the list goes on and on as to why your PC might have a problem.

Check that windows security isnt blocking access to a controlled folder (like the Documents folder). Go the Windows security -> Protection history. allow rd2, social club, and any other rockstar related program. The game will crash if it cant access these folders.
