RDR2 started to crash very often recently. The game just closes without any errors, sometimes error It didn't happen several weeks ago.

I can get past with intro gameplay when it crashes within 10 minutes, so sick having to replay the intro again and again

I believe the current problem is a game issue. Whenever launching the Wilderness camp or trying a legendary bounty, it always crashes. (Online).

It's the problem with the actual game itself & even ps4 users have the crashing issue so it's not your pc.

Tried all the attempts shown in the video, nothing worked. After 5 to 10 minutes, RDR2 jumps back to the desktop without an error message. Drivers are up-to-date. I even installed Windows 11 separately, the error still exists. All other games are working well.

I tested it, idk who can solve the problem but my game specifically crashes after attempting to use dead eye in the SECOND mission launched for online.
First mission will work perfectly fine. Second mission, as soon as dead eye is triggered, the game will crash with the error

Tried everything, it will still continue crashing. It's a game issue.

With me it's different but the same the game will not give me any errors it will literally just freeze then crash and it doesn't do that when I'm doing anything specific it will just do it randomly

My can consistently crashes on the story mission where you torch thoes fields with moonshine. After you finish sneaking around and the shooting starts it crashes every single time. I cam wander around and do side stuff but cant advance the story anymore no matter what i do

My game started crashing nonstop while starting up about 2 weeks ago. It hasn't worked since :(. I did everything, completely reinstall, lower settings even though i have a 3090, delete sga files, everything. :( I was just getting back into it, but now its unplayable.

I play on console but i got a kick ass pc recently so I got rdr2 on black friday sale. It crashes after 15 minutes everytime. I tried everything mentioned here along with other suggestions. I sent a ticket to cockstar but I'm fairly certain they'll blame the weather, or astronomical sign, or gas prices, or cats or anything else

For me, it was becouse graphics card/processor reached too much in Celsius. I dont know why, but the setting of coolings was oversetted/turned off. When setting cooling to work with lower celsius the crashing fixed.

I just installed the game, I realized I could actually really enjoy this game, and was exited. I can't get past the first intro sequence... Is there NO way to fix this?

I've tried all these, the only thing left is to reinstall... which takes over a fucking hour

[ledzeppelinsucks]

tried all of these, none worked. I Guess I'm done playing this game.

hi guys, i don't know what problem cause the crash of RDR2 when i go inside building like gunsmith or every other building. i can't even do the first mission of the prologue don't know what to do :(

After reading some ones post about overclocking, i disabled XMP in bios and the game doesn't crash anymore.

[SuperFlashDriver]

The moment I try to boot this game up on my Nvidia Geforce GTX 1650 TI, it won't even let me boot with a controller. It's as if it's telling me to get at least an updated Intel version, despite re-installing that and it still crashes.

[herockscreations]

You didn't solved any problem, instead you improved the problems.

[jirkajanecek]

Hello, I had same problem and found solution for me. The problem was caused by the MSI Afterburner application, where I overclocked my graphic card. After I set the default values, the game stopped crashing. I recommend checking the overclocking values in the BIOS as well. Good luck

[angadsingh]

[lordofbanana]

Switching from vulkan to directx12 did it for me. Thanks !
