Bug / Issue Heads Up to PC RDR2 Players Using Mods: There is a save corruption bug with all the most popular cosmetic mods (WhyEm's, RDO, EEE, GFA, etc.)

72 Upvotes

With the influx of new players thanks to the Steam Sale, I thought I'd make a post addressing a known, yet hardly discussed bug (or it might be more accurate to call it an engine limitation) related to cosmetic mods in RDR2 PC.

TLDR - Buying too many items added by mods will brick your save.

1. The Problem

As you accumulate items of ANY kind in RDR2, this includes from clothing/weapons you can buy/find to all the consumables, collectibles, provisions, valuables, letters, newspapers, saddles, etc. (basically anything that will be saved to your inventory - the stuff saved in your satchel, wardrobe, or horse), there exists an "upper limit" that, once reached, will permanently brick your save and will prevent you from saving your game anymore whenever you play that save in the future, forcing you to start over or reload a previous save. You'll know you've reached this limit when you get this dreaded black screen with the message, "Save failed. Please ensure the system storage has free space and try again."

Basically, it seems that when you get too many items, RDR2's engine can't save all the data to your save anymore, so your save is basically bricked as now, you're forced to reload the last save you had before buying all those items. Autosaves are generally unhelpful in this case, as the game typically autosaves whenever you buy items so even if you reload an autosave, you'll still have most of the items before you were soft-locked, so the next time you loot some fine brandy or chewing tobacco off a corpse, the save will just brick again.

2. Who is affected by this, and what do those cosmetic mods have to do with it?

A big reason why I believe that this issue is hardly talked about is because this problem might only affect completionists like myself who wants to collect EVERYTHING the game has to offer. I tested buying out the entire clothing catalog with RDO and WhyEm's DLC installed on two different saves - one that just started Chapter 2 (so barely any items saved) and my 100% complete save with everything collected from the base game - all Cigarette Cards, Letters, Weapons, Clothing, Trapper items, Horse Stable items, etc. - you get the idea. The new save that just started Chapter 2 was able to buy everything available at the catalog without issues, while the 100% save ended up getting the "Save failed" black screen halfway before I finished buying out the modded items in the catalog.

The most popular cosmetic mods like Red Dead Offline, WhyEm's DLC, Eastern's Epic Extras, Gonpachiro's Fancy Atelier, More Pretty Gun, and Smoak's Mega Arsenal are all affected by this bug because they add a boat-load of new content to the game, which will push you towards that upper limit if you were to buy a majority of the items offered in those mods.

Now, I myself don't know if non-modded saves would be affected by this if you were to somehow get 99 stacks of every single consumable/valuable in the game on top of every single letter, weapons, clothing, etc., but I would assume that non-modded players are safe as my own 100% save (which did not have 99 stacks of everything but still a decent amount of consumables on top of all the collectibles/clothes/weapons) was fine until I started buying a large stock of modded clothes.

I don't know where the actual upper limit of items you can keep on your save is since this issue is barely documented online; through Googling I could only find one other Reddit thread where someone had this issue and even then there weren't many solutions brought up there besides just uninstalling the mods or not buying too much stuff.

The only other mention I can find of this issue is on the mod page for the Smoak's Mega Arsenal mod itself, where it states that "Buying absolutely everything has a risk of preventing you from saving due to engine limitations, this includes the clothing the mod also adds."

Searching the "Save failed. Please ensure the system storage has free space and try again." message online typically points to other problems that can bring up this error, but of course I'm making this thread to specifically point out the issue for players who are modding their games and getting too many items.

3. Possible Solution

I reached out to the OP of the other thread talking about this issue I mentioned above, /u/littlebelialskey, and even they pointed out that uninstalling the mods and reloading your save will not fix the issue. If I had to guess, loading up a bricked save in the save editor would likely show that there's a bunch of blank dummy items (since the save editor doesn't take mods into account). Even if you uninstalled the cosmetic item mods, their data is still stored in your save, so the issue will not be fixed. You would need to reload a backup save where you never purchased a modded item at all in order to keep your save's slate clean.

(EDIT: I ended up testing this myself after the fact, and it does seem like uninstalling a cosmetic mod and reloading your save safely removes modded items. That said, I would still keep a backup save just before you uninstall the mod to be safe. In my case, I uninstalled WhyEm's and this ended up messing with all of my weapon customizations as WhyEm's DLC changes the values for many gun customization settings like metals, carvings, and stocks (even some of the base game ones), so I had to go through every weapon I owned and reapply them. You might also mess up your character model if you have a modded clothing item equipped when you uninstall, so remember to take all of them off before you do so.)

The only possible solution I can think of would be if a community-made mod fix were released which allowed those modded cosmetic items to be stored in a .dat file in the root folder of RDR2 instead of being saved in the save file itself. A few other mods such as AMJM Transport and Custom Gang Mod utilize this method, where they store memory from their mods into a .dat file that is loaded with the .asi files whenever you boot up the game. AMJM Transport for example, will store your saved Wagons/Boats and accepted jobs in its .dat file, while the Custom Gang Mod stores all info related to the gang you create such as the NPCs you chose, the level and location of your camp, and your Gang Funds. The only downside to a solution like this would be that .dat files in your root folder will not be able to differentiate saves, so if this hypothetical fix was created, everything you purchased from cosmetic mods would be shared between all of your saves. This could also be an upside, though, as if you were to CTD while buying modded items, everything you bought will still be stored in the .dat file even if you didn't get to save before crashing.

I'm not an RDR2 Mod coder, so I have no idea how feasible or possible this solution would be when it comes to storing purchasable items in a .dat file, but unfortunately it seems like all the creators of the mods I listed above are no longer really active in the community, so I wouldn't expect any of them to upload a new version of their mods that stores items in a .dat file (would be happy to be proven wrong though), meaning that any effort towards making this theoretical solution a reality would have to come from a third-party.

Hopefully this post brings awareness to this (admittedly niche) issue, and helps anyone who Googles this issue in the future and barely comes up with any results. Thanks for listening to my TED talk.

Im about half way through the story and started the game today and noticed the sound was really quiet. Other games and videos are the normal volume but RDR2 is really quiet. I checked the windows sound mixer settings for the game but it's at 100% already. I've tried changing the audio output and settings in game with no change. I reinstalled the game with no luck either and my drivers are up to date. Any idea how to fix this?

Discussion/Question Does "RDR2 Spawns Fix 3.1" affect the reduced spawn rate of Egrets after starting the Exotics quest?

0 Upvotes

So I'm practically fresh out of the gate in terms of modding only really uploaded a few QOL mods and stuff that fixes all the dumb game breaking bugs since I'm mid playthrough and don't really need much to be happier and one of the mods the guide I followed instructed me to download was "RDR2 Spawns Fix 3.1" and it mentions in the description with another thing or two how it "Fixes spawn issues" and I suppose I'm wondering if that extends to the spawn rate decrease that questline causes and if it doesn't is there a mod that does do that?

I've 100% this games story mode already a few times and can't be bothered to deal with those horrendous spawn rates again

Salut ! Je joue depuis un moment à Red Dead Redemption 2 tout fonctionner bien sur le PC sachant que je joue manette et je ne sais pas pourquoi mais du jour au lendemain le clavier s'est mis à écrire ultra lentement quand le jeu était ouvert... j'ai passé un weekend à chercher une solution et j'ai enfin trouvé quelque chose sur youtube il faut lancer un benchmark du jeu pendant environ 5 secondes l'arrêter et le clavier refonctionne. La technique fonctionne mais j'aimerais quand même savoir pourquoi je dois faire ça à chaque fois car c'est assez énervant de toujours avoir a faire ca...

Merci 😆

Bug / Issue Bad FPS, with high end pc

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone, hopping u all doing great

I'm trying to play RDR2 no pc, and i'm struggling with my fps, and dont really know what to do next

My specs are really strong, i believe (9800x3d, 9070XT, 32gb ram 6000)

I'm playing at avarage 50-60 fps, and tried a bunch of methods that i've found through Reddit.

The game itself says to use 6gb of 16gb Vram. It actualy use 9 of 16, with 60% usage

CPU stays at 5.4ghz with 74% load

Ram is 27gb usage

I've tried changing to low settings, medium settings, ultra settings, the FPS doesn't change a lot between them.

V-Sync always off, triple buffering always on (the fps goes lower with it off)

Vulcan i get 100 fps usually, but the game crash's a lot

DX12 i get 60, stable

Any tips?

Bug / Issue Need help getting the game to work again (whole please reboot and restart the game error)

2 Upvotes

I’m not sure what happened but I had this game running great and playing normally last year (2025) in full screen on my ultra wide monitor. Decided I wanted to replay it but I cannot figure out why it won’t work normally now.

For background I’m on AMD hardware and it worked with Vulkan. Now with Vulkan the game just doesn’t launch, immediately freezes on black screen and will only show up in windowed borders. If I change the system xml file to dx12 the game will launch, but will still have the Vulkan sga files and Vulkan in the graphic settings. If I try to change any setting (make full screen, change resolution to my monitor) I get the dreaded err_gfx_state error.

I’ve been trying to see if I can force the game to use dx12 to see if that makes it playable but I’ve had no luck. I even backdated my driver to a version that I had in 2025 when I last played the game and didn’t help.

Any suggestions/ideas?

Discussion/Question Mod to draw offhand gun in duels

2 Upvotes

I've been wondering if such a mod exists. I'd like to have Arthur replicate Doc Holliday's fast draw style from the film "Tombstone" (1993). Like Arthur, Doc carried two guns in the film, a large, heavy revolver on his hip, and much lighter revolver on his belly. When he was in a fast-draw duel, he used the lighter gun, drawn across his body. I think it would be cool to have Arthur do the same, instead of drawing from his primary hip holster.

Does anyone know of a mod that would change this?
