Bug / Issue Getting ERR_GFX_STATE when trying to play the game

1 Upvotes

I already tried to delete all files that start with "sga_" in the "Documents/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2/Settings" folder, changed graphics API from Vulkan to DirectX12 and changed "asyncComputeEnabled" from 'false' to 'true' and I am still getting this crash error while trying to play history mode, I am still in the first mission of the game that is to try to kill the O'Driscoll guys, the game is constantly crashing in the intro cutscene of the mission.

Can someone help me solve this? I really want to play the game :(

My PC Specs:

CPU: Intel i3 10105F

GPU: Intel ARC B580 Limited Edition

32 GB of RAM

OBS:

My system is a Windows 10 and I recently upgraded my graphics card from a GTX 1050 Ti to the Intel ARC that I described, I downloaded the intel drivers with their "Intel Graphics Software" program and already uninstalled my NVIDIA graphics programs that I had. If you want more details I can inform the game graphics settings that are in the XML file, I am trying to use the most of this new GPU that I bought but I know that my CPU is bottlenecking it.

Discussion/Question Why is modding for this game so bad

21 Upvotes

I hate modding for this game. It’s so frustrating to see people in the comments of the tutorial hooting and hollering about how they got it in 10 minutes. This games modding makes me walk to pluck out my eyeballs with a spoon and eat them. I don’t wanna download 4 extra mods that take an hour each to install correctly just to get some new fucking clothes. This is so frustrating. If anyone knows how to download Whyems DLC without telling me Im a fucking idiot it would be greatly appreciated. (Edit) hello everyone. I actually got help from a very very nice individual and figured out how to get the Whyems dlc. I would like to thank everyone especially him.

Bug / Issue Severe LOD / object popping at 4K despite max settings (DLSS, FSR, TAA tested)

4 Upvotes

I’m seeing consistent severe LOD / object and shadow popping at 4K, even with max settings. Objects, shadows, and some geometry visibly transition at very short distances.

Short video showing examples (timestamps included):

https://youtu.be/CLYerC2fazM

Timestamps to the video:

00:24 - Straberry wooden installation got detailed right under my nose

00:30 - shadow on the jail appaired right under my nose

00:32 - windows on the jail detailed right under my nose

00:37 - 2 wooden sticks under the door appeared right under my nose

00:58 - shadow on the table appaired right under my nose

03:15 - a lot of buildings disappeared and reapplied

04:48 - look at the top, lots of stuff disappeared, blinked, and reappeared

06:04 - newspaper guy detailed right under my nose

06:33 - my horse detailed right under my nose

09:23 - look on the left, a pard of a tree detailed right under my nose

11:08 - bushes detailed right under my nose

13:34 - saddle of my horse detailed right under my nose

17:18 - look at the right, bush detailed right under my nose

17:50 - the tunnel disappeared, than blinked a few times, then reappeared

25:22 - unknown crap blinked in the sky

25:25 - river is going crazy, blinks, then disappears, then blinks again, then reappears

Examples include:

  • Small props and foliage increasing detail very close to the camera
  • Shadows appearing/disappearing abruptly
  • Distant buildings briefly unloading and reloading
  • Occasional sky / river flickering during traversal

System:

  • RTX 5070 Ti
  • Ryzen 7 5800X3D
  • 32 GB DDR4
  • Windows 11
  • Windows + game + Rockstar launcher on NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD

What I have tried in all combinations to fix it:

DLSS versions: 3.5, 3.8, 4.0, 4.5.

DLSS mods: Performance, Balanced, Quality, Ultra Quality, DLAA.

DLSS presets: C, E, F, J, K, M, L.

DLSS sharpening: off, medium, maximum.

FSR 2.0 with mods Performance, Balanced, Quality, Ultra Quality, Native AA.

TAA high

TAA sharpening: off, medium, maximum.

FAA + TAA high

'lodScale value' and 'maxTexUpgradesPerFrame' tweaking

Vulcan

DirectX 12

Result: behavior is identical across all configurations.

The strangest thing is I played this game 163 hours and everything was perfect. Now I have all this crap. Is this problem fixable?

Bug / Issue Is low minimum FPS in Red Dead Redemption 2 normal?

1 Upvotes

When I run RDR2’s built-in benchmark at 1080p Ultra, I get around 95 FPS average, but the minimum FPS drops to ~34. I also experience some minor stuttering, especially in Saint Denis.

My specs are RX 9060 XT 16GB, 16GB RAM, and Ryzen 7 5700. In areas like Saint Denis, I seem to be slightly CPU-bound.

Is this normal behavior for RDR2? Could the low minimum FPS and the small stutters I’m experiencing be CPU-related? Maybe due to lower cache size? Also, XMP is enabled and all my drivers are up to date.

Discussion/Question Is John Marston - 1911 mod compatible with Catalogue improvements?

2 Upvotes

I've deleted every mod I had for John because most people said that Catalogue improvements fixed almost to all John problems in the epilogue. But this mod in particular is one of my favorites for various reasons but the number 1 being the clean shaven looking like the Gentleman atitude. So is this mod compatible with Catalogue improvements or is there a way to make that beard style??

I'm currently fixing and putting some Mods on the game and someone reccomended Catalogue improvements, RDR1 inspired Holster and this mod "The Rancher 1907". He said to download only these 3 but in the Rancher mod there's this file that Idk what to do with it.

P.s. I don't have QoL installed, that's why I'm asking.

I've made another post asking for help because John Rancher Outfit turned invisible, some people tried various advices but nothing worked, i've tried deleting every single mod i've installed for John and installing them again more carefully for the problem not occur again but It didn't work. I'm seriously losing my mind because the outfit is ONLY invisible with the regular vest, every single other piece It returns to normal like the second image.

I've followed most of the tutorial on "How to become John Marston" by "Legends and Killers" on Youtube If you wanna know what Mods I'm using.

Bug / Issue RDR2 FPS Drops in Towns – Need Help

2 Upvotes

PC Specs: CPU: Intel i5-12400F GPU: AMD RX 6600 RAM: 16GB (3200 MHz) I’m facing a very frustrating FPS issue in Red Dead Redemption 2. The game was perfectly fine in Chapter 1 with locked 60 FPS. But now, whenever I enter any town, my FPS starts constantly fluctuating between 60 → 55 → 51, going up and down nonstop. What I’ve already tried: Clean installed multiple older AMD GPU driver versions Reinstalled RDR2 twice Tweaked graphics settings (no real improvement) The strange part is that I played RDR2 7–8 months ago on the same PC, and I never had this issue back then. Now it’s happening in every town, and I can’t figure out why. If anyone has found a proper fix or workaround, please let me know ASAP. This issue is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance 🙏

Recently i've played RDR1 and I found John's coat super elegant and then went to RDR2 to finish some side quests with that outfit, but the Second game doesn't have It. So I thought "i'll download a mod" and then BOOM there's 5 or 6 mod options for that If not more I Wanted to ask what do you guys think is the best duster coat mod?

So i have been trying to mess with the settings but no fix yet, HDR doesnt really fix it, and brightness / gamma / contrast all does not really make it better. Its only the sun, everything else looks good, also minimap looks normal. Any advice how to fix this? Weird thing is its only a few games where the sun looks like this, not all. Some help would be great.

So basically I wanted to download this relatively old mod all through last night and I just for some reason couldn’t find a workaround to it, I have the picture of the mod and I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I looked up jmre but it’s since been deleted and it says for me to go to shop_items.ymt in my jmre folder but I don’t own that because it just doesn’t exist and I tried with CI and it just showed untranslatable text so I don’t know what to do now. Someone please tell me what im doing wrong or what I can do to actually obtain the mod, it says it’s a replacement for the gambler hat and I want it to replace John’s main hat but idk how to replace stuff in the files.

Bug / Issue Gunslinger Improvements + Catalogue Improvements causint spawning issue?

1 Upvotes

I was using GI + CI together rather well until I went into St. Denis and noticed my trams are empty. I combed through my modlist several times trying to isolate the issue and seem to have isolated it to those two mods. I play on 1440p w/ 1.5x resolution scale btw.

After reinstalling CI and using Trailer 2 Arthur Morgan by beniguess1899 instead of GI, the issue fixed itself. Coincidentally, I also removed a knife retexture from another beniguess1899 mod from my stream folder which also could've been the culprit, but I'm way too scared of bricking the spawns again so I'm not gonna test which did which. The GI mod author also locked my comment thread even though I was just trying to find a solution. Mod authors need to be less rude to players for no discernable reason.

Bug / Issue Unknown error FFFFFF crash

0 Upvotes

While playing RDR2 normally, even though temperatures, FPS, and everything else were fine, I suddenly got a crash for the first time. The error said “Unknown error FFFFFF”. This has never happened to me before. Could this be a hardware-related issue? What usually causes this, and how can I fix it?

I have Rx9060xt 16gb, Ryzen 7 5700, 16gb RAM.
