Common Problems & Solutions

[RedDagger]

This thread is more of an FAQ - it is NOT for getting help, use the quick questions thread for that or make a separate thread!

 

If you think there's a common problem and you have a solution, feel free to post it below if you think it should be added to the list.

 

 

 

Problem #1

RDR2 is stuck loading / infinite load screen / stuck on install

(i.e. the loading screen never finishes, freezes, or the installation stalls)

 

Solution:
-If you're using a disc, gently clean the disc with a soft, preferably microfibre, cloth - even if it's brand new. It's worth trying a new disc, as this problem is commonly a disc fault
-If this doesn't work, delete the game data, turn off the console, unplug all the cables and wait for a few seconds; plug the cables in and install.
-Loading the game while disconnected from the internet can help

 

 

Problem #2

My trigger doesn't seem to be pulling all the way / I can't talk to people

 

Solution:
-This is a fault with a few PS4 controllers; the controller is defective, and cannot input the fullest press of the trigger - even if your controller seems to work in other games. Unfortunately, you'll need to fix it yourself (there's various guides online) or get a new controller.

-This also seems to occur with Xbox One Elite controllers; make sure the charging cable is unplugged and you have trigger stops turned off.

Problem #3

I don't have the special edition or pre order content / I can't find the war horse

 

Solution:
-Make sure you have the special edition installed; if you have a digital version it's already installed, if you have a physical copy it comes as a code in the box

-The content becomes available after you have completed chapter two and is available in different places; the war horse is the one called "Ardennes" that becomes available when you do the hunting mission selling a horse
