If you are having trouble with crashing

[SaulGoodMan]

I know a lot of people seem to be having issues with RDR2 crashing, as did I. You have to make sure you allow it on your virus software. This is the main reason for this happening. Don't turn it off, just make sure the entire folder is not being blocked by it. 

I know there is some trouble shooting posts already but this will save people a lot of time and hassle. I knew to do this right away because I have had issue with games being blocked in the past.

Yeah I had this issue. I have had it with every launcher other than Steam. I think Steam may be the only one that registers games on the computer properly while considered virus and malware protection.
