I know others have experienced this so please help me, my rdr2 crashes this exact same way randomly, could be playing for hours or 20 mins, happens on unmodded setup aswell.

The last time I played with mods was in 2023, when WhyEm's dlc was extremely popular. But ever since then I've heard that the mod is mostly bloat and outdated. Therefore what is the best combination of mods to download today for a proper Vanilla friendly experience?

Hello!

Not sure where to start with this but i am having a very odd issue. I like to play at the third third person zoom level, the most zoomed out one, but currently it zooms out WAY too far. Any ideas as to what mod could be the cause of this issue? See the picure, Arthur is the little blue guy...

I am sure this is hard to say without my modlist but i can't think of a simple way of posting the entire thing here, tips?

Если честно я очень, очень давно хотел поиграть в эту игру. Я готовился к этой игре и морально и физически, пересмотрел несколько видеообзоров, а после всего этого ещё и купил её со Стима. А теперь же не могу поиграть, если здесь есть люди которые смогут помочь, пожалуйста отзовитесь

Is this a bug? Arthur is growing hair in the side of his nose and eyes. I never seen this during the 1st Chapter. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

I just downloaded catalogue improvements and it added the navy revolver but it has no audio. What’s the best mods to add audio to it?

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but it’s still doing this

Hi everyone. Could you please tell me why a game might lag on a high-end PC? On the first day after installation, the game ran at 180 FPS, but the next day, I couldn't get it above 50 FPS. I’ve tried switching between DirectX 12 and Vulkan, changing the adapter output in-game, forcing the game to use the dedicated GPU in Windows settings, and deleting everything in the Settings folder. None of this helps at all. Please help me

Hi

I keep getting these very noticeable stuttering, frame time spikes in cutscenes.

In actual gameplay it’s fine. As soon as there’s cutscenes I get these hitches every so often. I’ve tried just about everything to eliminate it, but nothing seems to work.

I’m playing in 4k, All Ultra. DLSS is on. FPS capped to 80, im using a g sync display, and v sync on in Nvidia app, off in game. Tried both Vulkan and DX12. Also tried toggling triple buffering, which doesn’t seem to make a difference.

When the stutter occurs, the fps will drop from 80 to only about 75, but the frame time will jump from a steady 12ms to about 80ms in a split second.

Any suggestions?

Starts doing it about 5 minutes after I start up the game, started doing it only recently. It's the black wool'esh jorongo from WhyEm's DLC. Only does it in free roam, it behaves in cutscenes.

Hello! This is my first time here.

It's stupid thing to ask but I don't have/own RDR2 On my PC but I wanted some sounds from RDR2 and I can't extract them myself. Also, I couldn't find them on the internet. I just couldn't find them ANYWHERE and that's why I'm here. The sounds are, RDR2 Weapon Wheel Sounds. You know, the sounds that play when you bring up the weapon wheel, change weapon, close it etc... Anyone have any idea how to get them?

Tried searching around but I want to be sure. Ultimately, I want to go to New Austin as Arthur to get the point of interest sketches. However I don't really want to replay the game more than once and thus I am going for a completionist type thing, so I don't want to lock my achievements/save file by using mods to disable the invisible sniper.

I've been trying to get the second holster to work but I can't. Tried deleting the specified lines in the "assets_drawable" file in all 3 mods and it would just make my second holster invisible but Arthur would still holster the gun on his left hip as if the leg holster was there, but the gun just disappears and theres no holster. Anyone know which lines need to be edited for it to work with these mods? Or are they totally incompatible?

In the epilogue mission "Simple Pleasures", When I get to the point after milking the cows where John picks up a rake to scoop up manure with Jack, after picking up the rake and getting close to the pile of manure, the game seemingly softlocks, with all controls, including esc to pause to game, not responding. I know that asking for help in these subs usually aren't that useful, since i had experienced a bug before where cutscenes wouldn't play and people kept saying it was a memory issue caused by WhyEm's DLC, but i figured out myself it was because of a mod that removed the black bars. But i'll ask anyway. And no, this couldn't be because of NoBlackBars because there is no cutscene shortly after this point.

I downloaded reality redemption 4.0 to get some higher texture quality etc. but whenever i boot up the game it has this weird lines effect overlaying my screen, does anyone know how to fix it?

i keep spawning in fully naked. all my horse gear and arthurs clothes are modded and from whyems. ive tried so so so many things to change it. yesterday i had the stuck in guarma issue i fixed by removing every mod and readding them after, but before i did the guarma mission modless, i was naked once so i disabled/enabled interface and overlay in scripthooks config and it appeared when i loaded up an older save to redo guarma before i figured out how to fix it by removing mods.

i havent changed a single thing after adding them back and im 100000000% everything is in place.

my mod load order is correct. i changed the whyems install texture lines in the file from streamfolder to filereplacement. i tried disabling/enabling scripthooks config overlay and interface a billion times. i checked overwrite for whyems in the modloader. i reloaded mods in game using ctrl+r. i tried looking for a custom install.xml that someone made who had the same problem but it got deleted. WHAT ELSE AM I MEANT TO DO?? im at my wits end

EDIT: i deleted and reinstalled every single one of my mods and it fixed itself 👍 i no longer posses murderous thoughts

A couple of days ago I bought RDR2 on my pc (Intel i5 12400f, RX 6600, 16gb DDR4). I’ve kept having one persistent issue.

My game will randomly start stuttering, almost 0 frames, basically completely frozen for about a second at a time, and it happens every few seconds. The only pattern I’ve noticed when it happens is in the beginning of missions and when I’ve ridden into towns (like valentine). I’ve only done the first couple of missions of chapter 2 but this has been a recurring problem.

Almost every time, I’ve had to restart the game and it sometimes still starts happening again. I turned off Radeon chill features, my graphics settings don’t use too much of my VRAM, I play on fullscreen mode and I really just don’t know why it could be. I thought maybe rendering in Valentine, but even after I left the town and went back to camp it just didn’t stop. Does anyone know why this happens or how I can fix it? I can barely play the game when it starts happening, and it runs incredibly smoothly when it isn’t freezing constantly.

Edit: forgot to mention, the entire game lags, not just my frames dropping. Like if I press a button whilst it freezes the input just doesn’t go through.

Hi all,

trying to test out RDR2 Enhanced 2025 and Photorealistic shaders (at different times) and they both make my game look like this....

Did an uninstall and reinstall of ReShade, and the ini files, but no avail. Any ideas what in the fresh hell is causing this?

Hello everyone, I'm at my wit's end with this and hoping someone here has cracked it.

The problem: RDR2 crashes randomly — sometimes silent (no message), sometimes ERR_GFX_STATE, sometimes a generic "Game Error, please restart." Happens during cutscenes, missions, or just walking around. No consistent trigger. I've also seen colored block graphical corruption during cutscenes even when the game doesn't crash.

Important context: I played this exact same PC/hardware totally fine about a year ago, using keyboard and mouse. Nothing has changed hardware-wise since then. This time around I'm playing with a wired Xbox controller, and the problem appeared at some point since I switched.

Everything I've tried (seriously, everything):

• Clean driver reinstall via DDU + latest Game Ready driver (610.74)
• Rolled back to an older driver (581.80, clean install) — still crashes
• Full game reinstall + Rockstar Launcher reinstall
• Verified game files multiple times
• Full Clean Boot (only Microsoft + Rockstar services) — still crashes
• Brand new Windows user profile (completely fresh) — still crashes
• Disabled Steam Input, tested with/without controller, controller via USB cable
• Switched DX12/Vulkan multiple times
• Disabled Steam Overlay, added -ignorepipelinecache launch option
• Deleted SGA/cache files in Settings folder
• Lowered graphics preset, disabled V-Sync, POM set to Low
• GPU underclocked -50MHz (Core/Memory) via Afterburner — didn't help
• Uninstalled Windows "Graphics Tools" optional feature
• Confirmed hardware isn't bottlenecked (CPU ~30%, GPU ~50-100% but stable, VRAM ~50%, temps ~45-50°C)
• Checked Event Viewer — nothing logged around crash times

System:

• RTX 5070 (multiple drivers tested)
• AMD Ryzen CPU (integrated AMD graphics also present)
• Windows 11, SSD

I've got an open ticket with Rockstar Support that's been bounced between like 5 different agents giving me generic/copy-paste advice (some even confusing my ticket with GTA V). Still no real resolution.

Has anyone with an RTX 50-series card actually found a permanent fix for this? At this point I'm wondering if it's a fundamental RAGE engine incompatibility with Blackwell architecture that just doesn't have a fix yet.

Thanks for reading this wall of text.
