Red Dead Redemption 2 is now available for PC and has some problems
Rockstar Games patched the game to mitigate some of these issues, although the issues persist for many players. OC3D published an article detailing some possible solutions for the game, while Rockstar works on future updates.
Step 1: Update the GPU drivers
Rockstar recommends PC gamers update their graphics drivers with the latest available from AMD and Nvidia. The optimized Radeon Software driver version 19.11.1 is available here. Nvidia's Game Ready driver for Red Dead Redemption 2 is available here.
Both linked drivers contain optimizations and bug fixes for Red Dead Redemption 2, specifically with performance and stability improvements.
Step 2 - Antivirus software
One step to prevent the game from blocking is deactivating the antivirus that we have installed. This recommendation is classic for many games, since antivirus programs usually act in the background and cause crashes with relatively recent software.
Problems with the Launcher? Clear settings
If the Rockstar Launcher is causing problems, it may be worthwhile to delete the details of the Launcher profile and start again. Fortunately, this will not erase your saved games or Rockstar Social Club account. This action will force players to log into the Rockstar Launcher again and recreate their local account information.
- Enter the Rockstar LauncherEnter the settingsSelect "Account Information". Select "Delete local profile". Confirm the actionLogin to the Rockstar LauncherRun Red Dead Redemption 2
