Red Dead Redemption 2 Not Launching / Starting Via Steam Fix (for PC)

what's up guys Shaz here and I'm just going to do a small tutorial so this is basically for those who are having a problem with like Red Dead Redemption 2. so if any of you have bought like Red Dead Redemption 2 and you're trying to run it but the game like and then uh and when you like click on play I'm not going to do it because mine just works right now and I don't miss it but when you click on play it opens up this uh Rockstar page as Rockstar launcher and when you click it starts loading and then all of a sudden the game opens for a bit and then it closes all of a sudden so I think I have a solution for that this solution worked for me after I watched a bunch of videos which weren't actually showing the clear problem so I'm just gonna like give you what you really need to do so first things first is you're gonna have to go to your like my computer and you're gonna have to like follow these link addresses and delete these certain like Vulcan related uh files you have to do it on both your system uh 64 and your 32 files you have to go and delete this uh the dll Vulcan files and the dot exe it's it's not gonna have dot Exe on it it's just gonna be but it's gonna it's gonna have like the the same number and it's going to be like an application like it go it will go by that name in the uh file address so you need to delete those okay after that after that you will go to like the link I'll give you a link in the description in this link uh the one over here you have to go to this site uh this is like supported by steam so don't worry it's not like a scam site it it's even sponsored by Valve so when you go down here you're gonna need you're you're gonna be looking for a certain welcome file uh that Vulcan files name will be this one Wilkins SDK 1.3.204 now you're gonna want to download the installer make sure you're downloading the installer instead of anything else now you're gonna scroll down here you can scroll down here and you see it soon enough as like you go down make sure you get the right number as well don't like mistake it so this one just making control yeah 1.3.204.1 1.3.204.1 so just download this one all right I already have it downloaded so and when you when you've done it I'll show you the location over here just click on it and then run it as soon as you've got it running ah back out and then just run your game just to show you that mine's working now let me show you an example by the way if you're like playing from in South Asian country or something like that there is a chance Rockstar won't work or log in or it'll say that you're having an online problem and what I suggest to you do it's loading by the way what I suggest you do is like have a like a VPN I'm I have used TunnelBear but you can use an illegal one or like a cracked version or like a free version uh it's your own opinion I used to another bear because I already have it to like log in and stuff like that but other than that your game should be working after this like as you can see it's now loading it's not like messing up but make sure you do all that with the Vulcan if you want to and it's still it doesn't here we go like it's not work it's not on like you can see but if it's still not working I suggest you like it should work by the way it's not like I'm saying oh it's that it's not gonna work but it should work but if it's not you go here go to your properties go to your local files browse and make sure you don't re-download the game because if you re-download the game you can see the game actually in the background but if you re-download the game make sure your your DX this file is like placed here like I've just already downloaded it and when you go down here you click you go to the properties and you can check the compatibility like I've put it on run as administrator just so that it doesn't mess up as you can see I've done it on both sides so yeah this should like help run the computer because Rockstar hasn't still fixed any of the issues of them on game so this should help you like let me just show you also there might be a chance that the game like might show this I've like put it on Windows windowed because that's the only way I can like actually put it on like this screen you'll go around here mess up play with it a bit like this now you do this and if you also if you want to like make it full screen the hair is another way it's going to ask you to like revert back but if you progress wait hold on well you can just do this this is a way as well like you can do this there is another way to like put it on full screen I'm just forgetting how you do it I'll do it later but yeah that's what you need to do for now so all right guys if this video was helpful please like And subscribe and I'll see you all in the next video goodbye
