stucco loading screen black screen issue and all these kind of fishes including bone Lounge issue which is happening for many of the users so we're going to talk about some of the possible workarounds you have to try out which is going to work for sure so let me directly get into this so the first one is all about we have to restart your PC when you're having the trouble so close everything close your steam restart your PC then try by going back to the stream once again and try to play and it might work this is actually a very simple fix and this is not a 100 guaranteed one but this has worked in the unexpected cases for some of the users moving to the next one is all about you have to allow the game.exe file to the Windows security for that you just have to go over here and you have to search for control panel now from here you just have to go to Windows Defender Firewall or here you have to click on allow an app or feature through Windows Defender Firewall now frame here you have to check whether the Red Dead Redemption 2 is available here so if it is available keep it the same and make sure these things are checked that means private and public should be checked if it's not there we have to add it so how to add it it's all about that answer here click on hello and another app now go to browse now from here you just have to go to this PC open locally see where the game is installed navigate to program file x86 scroll down and navigate to steam select steam apps from here go to Common now select Red Dead Redemption 2 and frame here as you can see rd2 is rdr2 is there just add this if it is already added you can see it's not added so we just have to add it Red Dead Redemption 2. now I have to check this both it should be both private and public once it is checked you just have to close everything go back to the stream try to play the game if it's not working move to the next one that is all about you have to install graphics card manually so I'll be providing Link in the description to both official Nvidia as well as for the AMD users as you can see on the Nvidia you just have to go over here give the product type you will be having various options select the respective one if the respective product series model type we have to give and give the product give your operating system if it is Windows 11 go for Windows 11 or Windows 10 go for it and if any other thing you can go for the rest give everything and start first search and you will be getting the latest updated patch over here so if you scroll down the latest version is 527.56 and it is updated on or released on 8th December so just download the respective one and install the dot EXE simultaneously you have to do the same for the AMD users as you can see for the graphics select the respectively same thing you have to do select everything and go for submit you will be getting two options for Windows 11 as well as for Windows 10 so Windows 11 select respective and download and install the adenarian version for Windows 10 do the respective one and once after successfully install try to launch the game and most probably updating to the latest version of graphics card has fixed all these kind of issue so try with this and this might be working as well moving to the next one is all about you have to run the game on dedicated uh you just have to do is run the game as an administrator the first one so go over here in the game you can navigate in two-way going to file explorer as well for this team so it is very easy to navigate from the steam so I'll be showing you this select the game properties now from here go to local file click on browse option that will directly take you to where the game is installed and now from here as you can see the rtr2 file is this select the respective one right click and go to show more options and go to properties go to compatibility and over here as you can see run this program as an administrator is there just select this go for apply and go for ok after running the game as administrator set check whether it's going to fix if it's not launch the game it should not be launching the game from over here should not be launched in the game but launch the game from the installation folder which means you have to navigate to this particular path as you can see right so you can launch it from here itself and see and most probably launch the game from the installation folder has worked for many users and if you don't know the path for the game I'll be showing you that you just have to go to the file explorer and go to this PC go to local list C and from here go to program file x86 now from here you just have to scroll down and navigate to Steam folder now select steam apps from here and go to Common select Red Dead Redemption 2 and frame here you just have to scroll down and select this one and launch the game from here at sub so installation launch the game from installation folder has worked so do not forget this step move into the next one is all about you have to uh Run the game on dedicated graphics card for that you just have to go over here search for graphics settings now from here you will be able to see as you can see these are the available things which is I have already added so click on the browse option now from here go to local list C once again go to program file x86 scroll down and navigate to stream once again select steam apps from here go to Common select Red Dead Redemption 2 and from here select rdr2 go for add once it is successfully added as you can see you have to click on this option so that this will be by default into let Windows decide you have to change this to high performance once it is saved just close everything go back to the stream try to launch the game and that might be working as well even if it's not you don't have to worry we have to move to the next one that is all about we have to install Microsoft Visual C plus plus so I'll be providing over here as you can see we are having two options x86 as well as x64 so it is quite important that many has been many people commented and asked how to name this so you just have to you can check from here and you just have to go to settings over here on the system scroll down to the bottom and go to about over here you will be able to find whether you're around 64-bit operating system or you're on 32-bit operating system or as well as 86. it is very vital visible that I am on x64 that is on 64-bit so you have to download this here I have already downloaded and installed it so I'm not doing the same you can download this and install it on it after installing restart your PC then or go to the stream and launch the game should not be launching the game without restarting because this is Amanda three one and should not necklace this you just have to do a restart go to the game and I mean stream and launch the game and that might be working as well most of the next one is all about you have to stop all overclocking applications so as you can see the Discord is one of the main reason why it is happening for many of the users as well as many others we will be showing you how this how important this trip is all about just go to your start and go to task manager right now as you can see there are few things which is running in my background which apps are I'm using currently over here in the task manager they are Adobe premium Pro Google Chrome screen recorder Steam and task manager apart from this there are background process apps which is around 74 which is running out my background including Discord and all these things so they are draining out my performance so I'm not having any kind of issue while I'm playing the game because the game is around 32 I'm sorry my Ram is around 32 GB it's quite smooth but what you have to do is just have to end the task for everything you have to do the same it's going to take a little bit of time but this is actually going to work this so this is how you can stop every overclocking applications and also you have to disable steam overlay for that you just have to go over here you just have to right click and go to properties now from here over here as you can see under the general there should be enable the stream overlay should be there so you just have to uncheck this this is quite important step as well and that's going to work you guys and also moving to the next one is all about you have to perform a clean boot so that's going to do from here itself you just have to search for system configuration you just have to select this one now from here you have to navigate to services and over here as you can see click on hide all Microsoft Services go for disable all once you're done with disable or go for apply and go for ok and once it is done try to launch the game from the Steam and that has worked for many of the users moonso and Extron is all about you have to verify Integrity of game file for that just go over here right click and go to properties go to local files and click on verify Integrity of game file so this is going to take a little bit of time but this is actually going to work because this will fix if any files are corrupted and if any files are missed and all these kind of issues will be completely fixed from this end so should not be neglected this is very important and also parallel this complete I'll move to the next one that is all about update your windows to the latest version for that just go to the search and type for settings over here go to system now frame

be completely free after ejecting everything launch the game once the game is successfully launched connect it back and try to play with the controllers last and the least one is uninstall and the reinstall by reinstalling back you have to keep in mind you should not be installing back to the same disk as you can see in my case I'm having only one disk but in a case it will be different so if
