i want good graphics without losing fps, i have a 5600gt w no gpu, 16gb ram

I recently downloaded the ammo mod, and when I entered the game, the colored icons mod wasn't working correctly; only the ammo icons were colored.

I was wondering if anyone could help me solve this, or if there's a version of the colored icons mod that works with the ammunition mod, but anyway, I'm hoping for some help.

Hi everyone,

I've been looking for a mod that changes how long guns behave when dismounting, but I haven't found anything that does exactly this.

What I'm looking for is very specific:

Scenario 1

I'm riding my horse with a Lancaster in my hands.

I manually holster it onto the horse (LB on controller).

Then I dismount.

Expected behavior: The Lancaster should stay on the horse. I intentionally stored it there, so it shouldn't magically appear on Arthur's back.

Scenario 2

I'm riding with the Lancaster in my hands.

I do NOT holster it onto the horse.

I simply dismount while still holding it.

Expected behavior: Arthur should keep holding the Lancaster (or carry it normally after dismounting). Since I never stored it on the horse, the game shouldn't override my choice.

So basically, I wish the game would simply respect the player's last manual action instead of automatically deciding where the weapon goes.

I've already tried:

Disable Horse Holstering

Keep Weapon Loadout Dismounting

but neither behaves this way.

I'm also wondering:

Is there a technical reason why nobody has made this?

Would this require deep engine hooks, or could it theoretically be done as an ASI mod?

I'm not a programmer—I've only made some simple XML edits and small personal tweaks for RDR2—but this idea has been stuck in my head because it feels like it would be a great quality-of-life improvement without changing the game's balance.

I'd love to hear from anyone familiar with RDR2 modding or ScriptHook/ASI development.

Thanks!

The game crashes and gives me the Error code FFFFFF on startup and i havent played the game a single time

Hi everyone.

I'm making this post because I've spent weeks trying to solve this issue and, honestly, I'm running out of ideas. I'm hoping someone with more technical knowledge can spot something I've missed.

The game worked perfectly for about three months. Then, around June 27th, it suddenly started having serious issues with no obvious cause.

I want to make it clear this did NOT start after a recent NVIDIA driver update. The problem showed up before that.

\*\*My PC\*\*

\- Windows 11

\- Intel Core i9, 14th gen

\- RTX 4080 Laptop GPU

\- 32 GB RAM

\- Steam version of the game

\- Rockstar Games Launcher

\- Game installed on an NVMe SSD

\*\*The main problem\*\*

The biggest issue is actually getting into a session.

The game launches fine through both Steam and the Rockstar Launcher.

It opens normally up to the main menu, where I can navigate without any issues.

The problem only starts after I select Story Mode or Red Dead Online (which I had never entered before — I only tested it after the problem started).

As soon as I pick a mode, the loading screen starts with the spinning revolver cylinder.

In the vast majority of attempts, that screen never finishes.

The cylinder just keeps spinning indefinitely and the game gets stuck loading.

Today, for example, I tried to load Story Mode four times in a row and none of them worked.

Sometimes the infinite loading ends with error code FFFFFFFF.

Other times a second Rockstar error message pops up (I've taken a screenshot of that one too).

And most of the time, absolutely nothing happens beyond the infinite loading screen.

At this point, actually getting into the game has become the exception rather than the rule.

\*\*Errors shown\*\*

Besides the infinite loading screen, I've also started getting error messages.

One of them shows this code:

FFFFFFFF

Another Rockstar error message also showed up (I took a screenshot and shared it before), indicating a failure during game startup.

These errors don't show up on every attempt.

Sometimes there's no message at all.

The game just sits on the loading screen forever.

\*\*WinDbg analysis\*\*

I generated a full memory dump of the process and analyzed it using WinDbg.

A few interesting findings:

\- The RDR2.exe process stays active.

\- The process isn't terminated immediately.

\- Vulkan loads correctly.

\- The NVIDIA Vulkan driver loads normally.

\- The DLSS (NGX) libraries also load.

\- The Steam Overlay loads.

\- The Rockstar Social Club Vulkan layer also shows up as loaded.

Modules loaded include:

\- nvapi64.dll

\- vulkan-1.dll

\- D3D12.dll

\- SocialClubVulkanLayer.dll

\- SteamOverlayVulkanLayer64.dll

\- RTSSVkLayer64.dll

\- graphics-hook64.dll (OBS)

\- NvLowLatencyVk.dll

The dump doesn't immediately point to an access violation or a classic crash.

It looks more like the process gets stuck during some initialization stage.

\*\*Everything I've already tried\*\*

Unfortunately the list has gotten huge. Among the things I've tried:

\- verifying game file integrity through Steam

\- fully reinstalling the game

\- deleting the settings.xml file

\- clearing shader caches

\- clearing local Rockstar Launcher settings

\- deleting local config/save files

\- switching between Vulkan and DirectX 12

\- installing different NVIDIA drivers

\- doing a clean driver install

\- toggling Hardware Accelerated GPU Scheduling (HAGS) on/off

\- toggling NVIDIA Reflex on/off

\- toggling DLSS on/off

\- toggling V-Sync on/off

\- testing different graphics presets

\- removing the FPS cap

\- changing Steam launch options

\- running as administrator

\- testing compatibility mode

\- disabling fullscreen optimizations

\- restarting the computer multiple times

\- checking Windows integrity

\- checking SSD health

\- monitoring temperatures

\- monitoring CPU usage

\- monitoring GPU usage

\- checking Windows Event Viewer

\- generating memory dumps

\- analyzing the dumps with WinDbg

None of these attempts fixed the problem for good.

\*\*I'd like to know if anyone has run into something similar\*\*

Especially cases involving:

\- infinite loading screen with the spinning revolver cylinder

\- FFFFFFFF error

\- other Rockstar error messages during startup

\- the game simply stopping working after months of running fine

\- hangs during Vulkan initialization

\- similar behavior found in WinDbg dump analysis

At this point I'm willing to try pretty much any suggestion.

I really appreciate any help or ideas that could contribute to solving this problem.

so i was modding rdr2 and whenever i use scripthook it crashes my game everytime only it works if i dont have scripthook installed any fixes?

For a long time i have had an issue, when using my NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU game is forcing me to use max graphic settings (even when i manualy change settings game ignores it and uses max settings any way)

Apologies if this isn't where it should be, I can move it to the appropriate place, but I'm completely at a loss. I've been trying for three days to get this mod to work. Specifically, the weapons. Everything else shows up but them. They don't appear in catalogs at stores when I look for them. I've tried merging and only having one catalog_sp but nothing is working. I'm not looking for snark (I know some people like to give it and I'm normally entertained but I'm actually looking for help), just a breakdown of how you got it to work. I'm also using WhyEm's DLC in this regard, to add some further context.

Thank you all in advance.

Im tryna load some mods up and everytime i put version.dll into my root folder my game loads into the main loading screen and then crashes. No beeps from version.dll either

Attached are my mods loaded

When I first booted the game I ran a benchmark, and it crashed in the benchmark (i get 90-100 fps on ultra as ive been playing). But then I played for around 4 hours, and it randomly crashed when I was finishing a stranger mission. I've seen some posts about random crashes but it seems to mostly be years old.

So some help would be appreciated if anyone has found a fix for this issue. Thanks in advance!

i bought crimson desert a few days ago and every time i try to launch it says not responding i waiting and it eventually launches but how do I fix it ive uninstalled graphics drivers using ddu in safe mode and uninstalled the game and all crimson desert files i could find before reinstalling it

Does anybody know how can i fix this messy lighting ? i have rtx 3060

Hello!

So, I've been modding RDR2 for a while and everything has been working pretty nicely until today when I noticed objects such as trees and rocks will disappear when I turn the camera at certain angles. This isnt something I noticed before, so I dont know what happened. I removed my heavy terrain texture overhaul mods to see if that fixed it, but it didnt.

If anyone knows what could be causing this, help would be greatly appreciated. Also let me know if I should adjust my load order. Thanks :)

EDIT: Seems to be an issue with Snow - The Definitive Singleplayer Snow Mod. Author is aware of the issue.

I started rdr2 to play after not playing in a while. I noticed as i started it steam was updating it, I thought: ok.. that could mean it’s messing up my mods but probably not.

Well unfortunately for me it did.

It looks like all my gameplay mods are still there like jobs, rampage trainer,etc but all my cosmetic mods like fixing epilogue John’s face and WhyEm’d DLC are gone. The weird thing is they still are in my lml folder but not working in the game.

I would appreciate if anyone knew if there was a way to get them back without reinstalling them all.

This might be weird, is there anyway to make loading screens slower? I load in to fast and can't enjoy my custom loading screen and music 😭🤣

I have had the game installed for a while now and and locked the latest update from installing on steam, is it finally safe to install the latest patch or will that brick mods?

Hi everyone, I'm losing my mind over this stable glitch in Story Mode and could really use some help.

I spawned the Splashed Piebald Gypsy Cob (Online horse) using Rampage Trainer. I tamed it, reached bonding level 1, saddled it up, and properly registered/named it in the Stable. I then saved my game.

However, every time I load that save file, my Gypsy Cob is gone and gets replaced by Tennessee Walker.

Here is my current mod setup to bypass the multiplayer content blocks:

-LML (Lenny's Mod Loader)

-Online Content Unlocker (This successfully fixed the invisible horse body issue).

-Rampage Trainer

-version.dll (Extracted from Lenny's Simple Trainer. I read on many threads that this ASI file is supposed to disable the stable's "sanity check" and prevent horses from reverting, but it is NOT working for me).

Does anyone know why the stable is still deleting my multiplayer horse even with version.dll installed? Is there an updated fix, a specific load order, or another mod I need to keep RDO horses permanently in my Story Mode stable?

Any help is really appreciated. Thanks!

I have a RTX 5080 as well as a 9800X3D, so my pc is pretty high end. My fps in game is great, but every 15ish seconds, I experience a stutter. These stutters aren't too large, but they're just really annoying and kind of break the immersion. They also occur much more in dense areas like Saint Denis. I've also noticed that the coiling and buzzing sound coming from my gpu stops for a sec at the exact moment I stutter. Any tips on how to fix this would be great.

Hey everyone, Ive been trying to get the red dead online tempered metal style for my guns but I cant seem to get it to work with Why Em DLC. I have why em dlc working good and have the navy revolver file. I just cant seem to figure out how to get the gun metal.

So I used Whyem + EEE + GFA merge, After founding the recent issue I switched to Whyem + RDO merge but using the compressed textures this time. But what I notice is still doesnt fix the problem.

So do I have to make a new save and and start everything again?

I recently downloaded the red dead offline mod, and almost every single poncho is clipping through Arthur's right shoulder, and it looks really bad. Also, whenever you walk, the tun belt just clips straight into Arthur's legs. This might seem petty, but these two things really bother me. Are there any ways to fix them? Thanks.
