ZakkMFNWylde Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Anyone have a problem running this in DX12? Game won't even launch when I set it to DX12. I have WIN10 updated, 2080ti drivers updated. Game runs in vulkan but not great and I can't use a reshade. Any ideas? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeaphite Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I'm having the same problem too. Can you switch from DX12 to Vulkan outside the in-game settings, like from the file? When I deleted my profile (essentially deleting all my progress), I was able to log in, but when I went into the settings, changed to DX12, I can't get past the launcher now.

DestroBurst Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 That is exactly what I did..i have been searching for a way to switch back to Vulkan outside the game for a whole day...can't figure it out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1FromHell Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I also have problems with Direct X 12. I was only able to launch it by setting the exe file to Run As Administrator. However I can't use the Dead Eye feature at all. The second I activate Dead Eye, my entire computer crashes really severe. It completely freezes up and makes a buzzing sound with the frozen game play on screen. I have to manually push in the power button of my PC in order to shut it off. I submitted a tech support request to Rockstar yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DestroBurst Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 Go to my documents folder and open Rockstar games folder. Delete the Red Dead redemption 2 folder. I saved my save data on the desktop before doing this..but it worked! 1FromHell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DestroBurst Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 No there is no .ini file in that folder. The game works ever since i deleted the folder and i put my old saves back in..but still getting random crashes between 30min to an hour of playing..but at least I can play for now until they figure it out 1FromHell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeaphite Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Ok, I found the file (not sure if its a .ini file) to change it back to vulkan outside the game. Open up rockstar games > red dead redemption 2 > settings > and open system.xml with an editor, like Notepad++. Then find this line: <API>kSettingAPI_DX12</API>. Just switch "DX12" to "Vulkan," save the file and the game should launch. DestroBurst 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
