access violation (c0000005)

[DSU10]

All overlays turned off and it still crashes and says this. Been on rockstar customer service and they don't know anything. Anybody else figure it out?

To fix this I read (keep in mind I only read this):

1. Turn off MSI afterburner
2. Start game
3. Drop down to desktop
4. Start afterburner

I’m using evga precision x and have zero problems.

Also maybe try windowed full screen in the settings

Disabling msi afterburner fixed the access error for me also. I then alt-tabbed out, restarted MSIAB, alt-tabbed back and continued with the game. Regarding windowed full-screen, my only 2 options are windowed or fullscreen *shrugs*.

Disabling RivaTuner Statistics Server fixed the issue for me.

You need to install the Microsoft visual c++ 2008 sp1 Redistributable: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26368 let me know if this works

doesn't do anything, as stated in previous posts

tried disabling steam overlay
reinstall VC and .net framework
tried to use API string from RDR2 in RDR1 options "<API>kSettingAPI_Vulkan</API>"
tried windowed mode, lower resolution

can't get anywhere, need a hotfix.

Well, struggled to find anywhere I could submit an actual ticket to rockstar so I’ve ended up contacting double eleven. See what happens.

I don’t have MSI afterburner or rivatuner, nothing. I even made a fresh windows account with no applications running and it still doesn’t get past the compiling shaders screen

Out of curiosity i installed RivaTuner and put this patch in https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption/mods/54 and still nothing, nothing has changed the game still crashes. Impossible to submit a support ticket to rockstar, double eleven seem to not care or check the mail - so i think ill give it a few days and if a patch doesn't come i'll just refund the game and purchase at a later date.

Pretty disappointing i was looking forward to playing this on PC after 14 years..

No GPU tweak software, thus no underclock or overclock.
9700K
32GB DDR4
2080 Super

Should work, just doesn't.

I get the error but ONLY when I select Quit Game. ROG Ally Z1 Extreme. VRAM set to 8gb playing off a 2tb Sabrent SSD. Game runs smoothly, never crashed while playing. I also have it installed on my laptop ROG Zephyrus with a 5900HS and an RTX 3080 but only fired it up once and don't recall if it showed the error when I quit. Again, game ran perfectly, no crashes/issues while playing. I feel bad for those who can't even get in the game.

I fixed it by stopping RivaTunerStatistics in the systray. That's not going to help anyone that doesn't have Afterburner or RivaTuner though which sucks...

Yep, sure sucks. waiting 14 years whats another week or so (touch wood) for a hotfix to come. I've escalated it with Rockstar and they are aware of the issue and that its not just me. Given them logs/crash dumps as well. here's hoping.

Finally, a fix.
