And make sure your system is stable before playing!.

Nothing to do with stability, it's to do with something preventing the executable from starting.

Seems like it might be windows 7 problem - because i've not seen a single person on windows 7 who has this game working.

Game just does not work on win 7 it seems.

What about the recurrent crashes in the menu and in-game store ?

lowering the reolution from 1920x1080 to 1600x900 worked for me, but the game still crashes randomly, but never in the menus anymore

[steel_man_13]

Nope I'm running win 10, everythings updated. This is the FIRST game ever to do this to me so ya I want to say it's not "my" system but theres something obviously going on as ppl are playing g the game and it's a minority of ppl. That's y it's not being prioritized. Problem is finding that common denominator as to why ppl are having this issue when so many aren't and hopefully they will. Just so frustrating when you waited for it to release only to b shut down. Like paying for a happy ending then no happy ending 😂😂

i feel for you man, it really sucks, its such a weird issue, some people with great systems cant launch it and others with ♥♥♥♥♥♥ systems can, i cant even play unless i lower resolution and even then i crash about every 30 mins, i think from what i have read they messed up some cpu commands

One word:
Vulkan

Really unfortunate.

Hmmm Vulkan you say? I keep seeing that, do I need to install it or is it already in the Nvidia driver?

Hey folks. Our support team is continuing to investigate player reports of being unable to open the game. We've seen doing a clean update of the latest Nvidia driver has resolved the issue for a lot of players. If you're still having issues, there are a few other steps we've seen work, including running the game in compatibility mode or running the game in windowed mode (ALT+Enter). If you have dual monitors and are experiencing an issue, you may want to try running the game on a single monitor. One player reported step which we have no internally verified is renaming/deleting the "amdvlk64.dll" file. While we cannot officially recommend that at this time, we're continuing to monitor if that helps to resolve the issue. We suggest reaching out to our CS team to make sure our agents are working directly with you to review your issue, as not all issues are caused by the same issues or resolved the same way: help.bethesda.net. But also continue to let us know here if you are still having issues and we'll continue troubleshooting. Thanks!

does'nt work for me :/ please help me bethesda

Firstly Vulkan is whats called an "API" - (Application Programming Interface).
The guy below will explain to you what an API is very quickly :D

Vulkan API runtimes come with your nvidia driver :)
Just make sure you have it in your installed programs list after the driver installation completes.

But what I meant was that the Rage 2 game use's the Vulkan API.
And it's because it's using this API is why lots of people can't run the game, that's all I meant :)

Hello like i said My game didn't lauch.
And yesterday it works now. Maybe is because of the patch ?
Anyway thank you bethesda to repair Avalanch errors...

I am having a weird issue when attempting to delete, overwrite or create a new save. Randomly, immediately after saving, overwriting or deleting a save the game will freeze and not read any input/commands by mouse, keyboard or otherwise. It does not however freeze the computer or OS. The sound remains unaffected. I lose my cursor, and neither the mouse nor the keyboard will work in game. If I check the game's status in Task Manager, it does NOT read, "not responding". I did however notice that the game all of a sudden hogs a ton of memory, between 45 and 50%. If I do nothing to afford the game time to finish whatever it is doing in hopes it will unfreeze, the problem unfortunately will not rectify itself.

I originally had the newest NVIDIA driver build, but that caused other issues in the game, including graphical artifacts and whitescreening with redlines when navigating through the menu. My PC manufacturer had me install the "creator" drivers, instead of the standard drivers. However, the issue with the game locking out on me occurred with the latest Nvidia release drivers and now, these "creater" drivers. Fortunately, any auto saves seemingly are unaffected if this transpires.

I am not sure if anyone else is also experiencing this issue, or not. In case the developers are reading this thread, here is my build: I am running dual 1080m GTX in SLI with 16gb of DDR4 2400 memory with a n i7-7700 CPU @ 4.20ghz, no overclocking, Windows 10x64-bit on an OriginPC, in case you need the computer build. Not exactly game breaking, but the only way to close out the game to reset it once this happens is to close out the task using Task Manager and then restart the game. Hopefully, this is something that can be patched at some point.

Thanks, guys! Really enjoying the game, great work!

I can't find it on my system after updating my driver, it could be why it won't start on my computer but the vulkan wiki says it is compatible with my card and everything but it doesn't appear on my computer after the driver update.

Vulkan is already integrated with your GPU drivers, its not something you have to download separately well... unless you want to
