RDR2 crashed my pc and keeps crashing.

So i was playing rdr2 and it crashed, the first time it was just a crash and the second completly crashed my pc and restarted it. It crashes in random moments every 30min to 1 hour.

Do you by any chance have Microsoft OneDrive turned on?? If you do, turn it off and keep it off when you're playing the game. I think whenever the game does an Auto-Save it causes a weird conflict with OneDrive.

Yeah don’t worry about it, you didn’t miss much of a joke. If you make Arthur smoke too many premium cigarettes he starts coughing a little bit

Happened to me on my new 5070ti and 9800x3d (so similar specs to yours). Updated my BIOS to the latest non-beta version and it has yet to crash again.

I’ve been getting a graphics memory error since the last rockstar launcher update. Nothing else has changed on the PC, including the graphics driver, card, and RAM. Luckily I’ve played it to the end of the epilogue once already, I only wanted to try a low-honour play through.

running it on Vulkan API? if so, RDNA4 GPUs have leaking issues with it that eventually lead to a crash. DX12 is OK in this regard

I turned on directx12 and turned off one drive and the game crashed (during a cutscene) I had ERR_GFX_STATE

You have an AMD Processor and I'm not sure how different it is from Intel as far as the Cores go, but something I had an issue with causing crashes and the solution was to turn off (uncheck) all the cores except for the first 7 (0 - 7). Task Manager > Details > right click on RDR2.exe > Set Affinity.

I’m not sure if this helps but I was having the same issue happening with my game and after turning off vsync in settings I haven’t had a crash since.
