Unexpected crash on startup for RDR2 on PC... **RESOLVED**

[cryamer]

I bought this game a month ago and have not been able to play it properly since. Every time when i start the game after 2 minutes i get a crash and error popup.
Has anyone else crashed the game? Would anyone know how to fix this? It's starting to bother me because I haven't been able to play the game since I bought it.

It would really help to take a screen capture of the error and tell us your hardware configuration.

When i run the launcher and game in admin mode it's start normally https://appuals.com/fix-red-dead-redemption-2-pc-crashes-on-startup/

Added "resolved" to title and moving this to the PC section to help those looking for PC specific resolutions to their problems.

Glad to hear that you got the game working. For those whom might find this later on, please alway's check your security software to confirm that it isn't the issue. Sometimes it is in which case, you simple need to make an exemption for the game. Usually it can be the software if the game is having issues launching.
