They ever gonna fix the ERR_GFX_STATE crash?

[Four-Winds Eryl]

What the title says. Still cant play and ive tried the work arounds

[Sininside]

Never seen that in the nearly 200 hours I've played. Whatchu talkin about WiLLiS?

Okay... it took me two seconds to find this:

ERR_GFX_STATE FIX

1-Go to game properties in Steam (right click RDR2 in list, and select Properties)
2-In new window, ‘General” tab is already selected – click “SET LAUNCH OPTIONS…” button.
3-Paste this: “-ignorepipelinecache” (without quotation marks), hit OK and run the game.

Have you even bothered trying this yet? Seems simple enough mate!

[Sininside]

Paste it just like it says:

-ignorepipelinecache

[Sininside]

Your name is obnoxious btw...

[Four-Winds Eryl]

Yeah Ive tried the -ignorepipelinecache fix, didnt work.

Only thing that worked for me was deleting the sga files in Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings, as well as putting -ignorepipelinecache in steam

[HOUSER]

do you have a nvidia card? try this - run nvidia control panel - go to manage 3d settings - go to program settings - click on the drop down menu arrow and choose red dead redemption 2 - select "shader cache" - set "shader cache" to "off"

[HOUSER]

kind of need to know what video card you have, this crash happens when you set your settings too high and the game is running too much vram for your video card or your video card is getting too hot... maybe its being overclocked?

[HOUSER]

you could also try going to C:/Users/*your windows username*/Documents/Rockstar Games/Settings - open the "system.xml" file with notepad - find the line "<taa>kSettingLevel_High</taa>" - change the line to <taa>kSettingLevel_Medium</taa> " or to "<taa>kSettingLevel_Low</taa>" or to "<taa>kSettingLevel_Off</taa>" - after changing taa to a lower setting close out note pad and right click on system.xml and click "properties" - in the "general" tab under "attributes" check the box that says "read-only" and hit apply - this sets taa to a lower setting because the game can force it to high on every restart and setting it to read only SHOULD (not guaranteed) prevent it from doing so - if you cant change video settings after doing this fix then go back into properties and uncheck read only before making any changes to graphicss settings and re set the file to read only when you are done - if this doesnt work or makes things worse then delete system.xml and let the game recreate it or reinstall the game - if you have a CPU that uses integrated graphics along with a seperate video card then you need to disable integrated graphics

[HOUSER]

if that doesnt work - smack it with a hammer

if it dont fix it then it WILL fix it...... for good....

Okay, so if this is a start up crash issue pertaining to ERR_GFX-STATE, I've found that editing the (setting . xml) file with theses values: <screenWidthWindowed value="1280" />
<screenHeightWindowed value="720" /> <windowed value="1" />, you can get through start up and into SP no problem. Then just switch back to desired resolution and windowed borderless (what I use). I don't usually get crashes once I am in game. This way I have managed to crank up setting in the ingame menu once I am in game if needed as well. You can leave (or set) Texture quality on/(to) Ultra as this requires a restart.

If your game won't launch with Ultra textures, try launching in safe mode. confirm that game starts properly, as well as SP loading in. Then quit the game, edit the setting . xml file and only edit the texture resolution tag to ultra. The rest of the setting should be the lowest possible since you just launched in safe mode. If none of this works you may need to keep lowering textures quality and trying the first few steps again.

I couldn't launch RDR2 any other way, but this was my work around as safe mode loads you in with low settings/resolutions. Annoying part is you have to remember to lower you resolution and window mode each time before or edit the config file before playing to prevent the crash on start up from ERR_GFX_STATE. Even if you get crashes during game play, don't touch your other settings without trying this work around as I was able to high-ultra settings on a laptop 3060. If you are still getting crashes, consider lowering more taxing settings, esp the under advanced, TAA/MSAA or anything like that. Then if that still doesn't do the trick you may have to lower texture quality to high or medium.

Turn Lighting off ultra, happens to me in saint denis near the market only, only with ultra lighting.

my game also crasheswith "ERR_GFX_STATE", but its caused by enabling FSR.

[=Axton=]

Any data yet if DX12 or Vulkan is preferred to avoid this crash? I'm getting it now too.
Also this supports the ignorepipilinecache fix
