Are you trying to run the game from Steam or via the Rockstar Games Launcher?

#

And which client do you own the game on?

#

This started happening randomly?

#

Let me check my game as well, I just updated.

#

Mine's working fine. You could try re-installing Steam after backing up your data.

#

Did you also delete the contents of %temp%?

#

Search %temp% in Windows Search, it's a temporary folder where Windows places files which can be cached.

#

Can also try deleting RDR2 folder from Documuents after backing it up.

#

Everything, whatever can be deleted.

#

Those are temporary files.

No, not backups.

#

Did you guys also try re-installing Rockstar Games Launcher? That client also got an update today.

After you uninstall Rockstar Games Launcher, there are file remants which persist in directories like Documents & AppData. Those need to be deleted to be able to clean-install the client back again.

Worth a shot unless Rockstar can deploy a hotfix from their end.

#

Someone mentioned in #pc-chat that they discused the solution in the chat.

It's only affecting RDO so I think we'll have to wait for a fix from Rockstar's end or do manual Steam shenanigans to get it working.

#

Founda fix bois

#

can confirm game runs perfectly now

#

Confirmed, this works! ๐ŸŒŸ modified slightly however;

In Steam, right click RDO and click Properties. In General tab, in Launch Options field, type in: -steamAppId=1404210

It should launch the the Rockstar launcher at least.

Then go to RDR2 Steam Apps folder, make sure that both the RDR2.exe and RDR2 Launcher are running as administrator. You right click on both, go to Properties, then Capability, and select run as administrator.

Launched the game! Hopefully this works for more players. ๐Ÿ™
