REDDEAD2 ERROR 18 STEAMDECK

[[FR] Yami J Monkey]

Hi all ! ( I apologize in advance for my poor English )I have a problem when it comes to playing Red Dead 2. I was a victim of "The Social Club failed to initialize the graphics device. Error code: 18". Launcher )

So I did some research and according to some reddits, error code 18 should have been solved by modifying the Red Dead Redemption 2 Settings.xml file and forcing the use of the default DirectX graphics API. So I changed the line " <API>kSettingAPI_Vulcan</API>" to "<API>kSettingAPI_DX12</API>" as advised.

Now the game is running but the ground around me has disappeared (well, I would say the waters and the snow) which are disappearing under my feet... as if I were walking in a vacuum. experimental proton)

Anyone as a solution? I searched on the internet or Youtube but I couldn't find anything conclusive..

Update : You need to add:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b %command%

To launch options in steam worked for me

Try using ProtonGE since that seems to solve alot of games not launching to other things.

The directory you gave I'm not getting that or understand where to go. Is this for the steam deck? Are you using Linux or Windows? Anyone doing it on Linux?

Is this being done for the steam deck? Are you using windows or Linux? What is the directory?

So to help others out here, all you really need is the launch command above. You don't need to edit the XML

Idiot's guide is needed because a lot of this doesn't make sense

Oui j'ai résolu le problème , il vous suffit de laisser plus ou moins comme c'est après l'installation et de faire cette manip :

WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b %command% dans les options de lancement du jeux sur steam
