How to Fix Red Dead Redemption 2 not Launching (100%Fix)

what's up guys and welcome back to another video right into my YouTube channel today I'm going to basically tell you how to fix every kind of not launching issue you're currently having with red that Redemption 2 so stick to the end guys this will be a step-by-step tutorial and in the end you will perfectly know what you're do in order to fix this kind of issue before we start right to the video I just want to you guys know let you guys know that I would really really appreciate it if you would just leave a like a comment or a subscription right into my YouTube channel it will really help me out and make my day and help me as a little YouTuber as I am but without further ado I don't want to waste any of your time anymore Let's Get Right started and right into the video so the first thing I would recommend doing for everybody is going to be to navigate to the bottom left corner of your screen where you're going to click onto your windows sign or use your key on your keyboard you're going to click onto settings and once you're the settings I want you to navigate to update in security it's going to sound a little bit get basic guys but trust me it will reduce 90% of your problems and just solve 90% of your problems s if you would just keep an eye on your updates on your driver's updates so I want you to check for your Windows updates in general CU every single problems problem which will occur or which which you're currently having will be solved by just simply updating your windows so check for updates mine is checked last today at 11:00 a.m. so it's fine check for updates download the latest version and this will be it if we are at uh security and windows you're going to click on the troubleshoot as as well and you use your system or you're going to use your system in order to find any kind of issue or broken data which is currently on your PC and it will be repaired or just removed if you're finished with that you can minimize or close the settings me going to minimize it cuz we're going to need it afterwards I want you now to do the same thing for your graphics cord so I want you to navigate to Nvidia GeForce if you're using Nvidia if you're using another application you're going to navigate to another application and I want you to Simply download the latest version of your graphics Discord driver just because not every single game is going to stick to the older versions they want you to update your driver's version and this will cause not launching in general and also further um problems which will occur in the game so trust me guys down the latest version of your driver and it will be fine so the next thing I want you to do is going to be to uh take your uh launcher shortcut for me it's steam it could also be epic games or EA because sometimes uh game are cross-listed so I want you to take your shortcut you're going to right click it and navigate down to run as an administrator you're going to left click that one and this will basically lead your launcher to uh run as an administrator so start as an administrator and once it is started I want you to launch your game over the launcher and try to fix it by doing that if does this doesn't fix it I want you to close the game again close the launcher again and I want you to right click your launch again go to properties so the very btom click on that this tab will pop pop up and now I want you to go to the right side from shortcut you're going to click on to compatibility and simply copy my settings so let's quickly run through it compatibility mode I want you to enable run this program in compatibility mode for select the latest version which you could select for me it's Windows 8 uh disable the reduced column mode disable run in 640x 480 screen resolution disable disable full screen optimizations as well as enable run this program as an administrator I want you to click apply and okay I won't click on apply obviously because I have already done it so click on okay uh now you need to restart your PC because afterwards you're going to see this little administer symbol right onto your launcher um and this will basically launch every time your launcher in administer mode so also every single game which is related to it if this doesn't work you're going to take your game shortcut on your desktop you do the same thing with uh going to properties and um doing the same stuff again um next thing I want you to show is going to be to open up your settings Again by if you close it go to window symbol and click on settings or just open it up go back to main settings I want you to navigate onto system stick around display where I want you to identify your main monitor obviously if you have one monitor there is only one to choose if you have two you're going to choose the main monitor identify it scroll down once you did that just scroll down go to scale and layout where want you to change the size of text apps and either other items to 100% as recommended and the display resolution should be the same as in game so for example if you have in game like 1720 by 1070 I want you to uh simply change it to your in-game resolution um to minimize your um not launching or launching issue so next thing I want you to do is going to go to code power and sleep what I want you to do here is going to be to click onto additional power settings we hit that so um this one will pop up and now it's different for every single PC I want you to Simply try it out so for me it's Balan for some ones for some people it's high performance and for some also is an initial plan you just need to check it for yourself and check which is running better on your device you're going to ENT this one go to storage hit onto the blueprinted text where it says configure storage s or run it now and now you need to just copy my settings run a storage sens every week you're going to obviously turn this on delete temporary files that my apps aren't using 14 days 60 days as it says right here this will if you C click on clean now will delete need every single temporary file that your apps aren't using so you're going to get rid of that and get more storage so once you finished with that I want you to go back once go back twice I want you to click onto gaming once you're at gaming you're going to go to stick around Xbox game bar what I want you to do here is really simple I want you to turn this off because the Xbox game bar is just going to suck a lot of performance and you need those performance or this performance in your game especially in a lowend or bad PC it will really cause your game to not launch to crash if it's launching so just keep in mind that this should be turned off and once you finished with that I want you to click onto captures this will take quite a while and if you're on captures I want you to go to background recording go to recording the background while I'm playing in a game and obviously guys please turn this off and check if this is turned off once in a while because I mean I don't need to explain it if you're recording something you your performance will suck a lot especially in bad PCS or low nend PCS so just keep in mind that this should be turned off um same thing for your audio just don't record your audio it will just take a lot of performance you don't need that you need it while playing the game and same thing if you want to uh record something you're going to use OBS or another application but not Windows for that just keep that in mind so next thing I want you to do is going to be to click on the game mode uh what I want you to do here is also really tricky I can't really generalize it and say like you need to turn this on or off it's really different for every single PC so I want you to check it for yourself you just need to turn it on uh and look which is running better so on or off and once you finish with that I want you to um end your settings uh next or last thing I want you to do no not really last thing but the next thing is going to be to right click your task uh bar you're going to click on task manager once your task manager pops up I want you to navigate to the top left corner of your screen check if you're processes and now I want you to end every single task which is currently having too much CPU or GPU usage it will be a background process could be an app but uh if you see and it's not related to your um windows or something like that you're going to right click it and you're going to click on end task once you finished with that and it's fine with your GPU and CPU usage I want you to go again top left corner click onto details and now you need your app to run for that or especially run in the background if you have the problem that your app isn't showing up but it's running in the background this is perfect for you uh I've not sorted it now but it's doesn't really matter just do the same thing to your application which I'm doing to um adob Premier Pro you're going to right click it click on the set priority and now want you to do either high or reality or real time because it depends on your device on your PC which is working better it will just set your priority where your performance goes from PC right into your game once you finished with that I want you to click on the store up what you're going to do with store up is really simple um this is auto store up so when your PC starts there a lot of apps which are storing by itself and you don't don't want that because they're running in background this will just lead to less performance you want to click on every single app which you don't want to store it in the background or run in the background you're going to click right click and click to like on this one click on disable do this to every single app which you don't want to run any background which you can reduce your GPU usage your CPU usage and afterwards you can end this task so if I could help you out of this video guys I would really really uh thank you if you could just leave a like a comment or a subscription right onto my YouTube channel it would really help me out and just make my day a lot and um if you have any question feel free to put it in the comment section I will read all of them and just try to answer them if I can and if not check out my other videos I uploaded a lot of stuff for other games if you have any problem with that so um I wish you a wonderful day see you at the next one and bye guys
