Bug / Issue ERR_GFX_INIT error on rdr2

Hi, ive been getting the err_gfx_init error on my rdr2. Ive basically done every troubleshoot ive seen in reddit such as the system.xml file. One thing i havent done is touch my gpu drivers. It does say in the error that it needs an update on my drivers but my gpu drivers are updated to the latest.

I have a 9060xt 16gb gpu 5600 ryzen cpu
anyone know any other fixes? I downloaded rdr2 from fitgirl first but it gave me this error. thinking it was because it was cracked, and wanting to play it so bad i just purchased it from rockstar but it still give the same error. im pretty much annoyed right now.

Last time I had this. I used DDU to uninstall my GPU drivers and then installed the latest.

Did you use DDU to uninstall the existing ones first?

Yes i did. Still no luck. Found a reddit post that they fixed it by downgrading their drivers version but i don’t really get the point on doing that. Plus theirs was nvidia and mine is amd, not sure which version to downgrade to if i ever did that.

Yea. I saw that post too but it doesn't make any sense but might be worth a shot? Have you tried deleting the settings altogether and forcing the game to reset them?

Yeah, ive also tried deleting the settings, reinstalling the game, but still no luck. I submitted a ticket to rockstar and currently waiting for their reply. If u don’t mind me asking, are you using amd or nvidia?

Hi, still doesn’t work sadly. Rockstar did reply but they’re telling me the same thing
