A possible fix for rdr2 crashing after the rockstar launcher logo loading

[Freddy Wake]

Hello guys
basically i did this

i went to the installation folder of the game, i found a folder called "12on7" inside it had a d3d12.dll file i copy and pasted that file in the instalation folder where the other dlls are
then go to documents - rockstar games - red dead redemption 2 - settings and open the system.xml with notepad or whatever you have to edit and change <API>kSettingAPI_Vulkan</API> to <API>kSettingAPI_DX12</API>

and done
the game would finally open without crashing

sorry for my english but i think its all pretty clear

OH MY F***ING GOD, thank you so much, after idk, 3 hours of constantly changing API settings, checking file integrity, reinstalling rockstar and playing with layers on Vulkon, this one small thing, copying one dll file fixed my problem, I hope everything will go well in your life. you are a life saver
