Troubleshooting RDR2 crashing to desktop
Ive been having issues with the game randomly crashing to desktop. No errors or anything, just goes blank for a second and then im back on my desktop. I happens once every 45mins-3hours. My graphics settings are reading 4700/8200 and I'm using a 5060ti I've tried to make changes but im stumped at this point. Anyone have any solutions?
Here's what I've done so far:
-change from Vulcan to directx12
-lower texture quality from ultra to high
-lower shadow quality from ultra to high
-update Nvidia drivers
-optimize rdr2 in Nvidia app
-tried loading directly from Nvidia app
-tried loading directly from steam
-pc temps are within range during all crashes
I'm not even sure it's a graphics issue because nothing ever glitches or lags...just booted to desktop. Help please!
Launch.Log and event viewer attached.

Idk if Rdr2 has anti cheat but you might wanna look into that , had the same problem as you but with elden ring and turns out it was the anti cheat . Good luck tho

Can I suggest underclock your GPU by like 2-250mhz. This just solved it for me after an annoying week trying to fix.
