How did u get it to work??
I had the launcher crash, where the game wouldn’t even start and just crash with an ‘unexpected‘ message upon hitting play and nothing I tried worked, like giving admin rights. Drivers were up to date etc.
I checked my windows updates and saw I had an update for version 1903 waiting (I was still on 1803). I downloaded that, it took about 2 to 3 hours and in that time Rockstar also released a small hotfix. Either one or the other or both fixed my launcher crash, though I’ve heard of people who were already on 1903 that couldn’t get the game to start, and others that upgraded to 1903 before the hotfix that got it to work.
Either way, got the game to start but now I had the crash as soon as the shotgun logo appeared. I read that disabling your anti-virus helped for some people. Tried to add exceptions to the RDR2 executable first but that didn’t work, but completely disabling my AVG shields did.
I didn’t feel comfortable playing with no antivirus though. But the big 3GB patch that came out the next day fixed that problem too.
I haven’t experienced any ingame issues so far (except for a very ocassional menu graphic glitch but it’s not really bothering me). The game runs fine now.
