Emmi Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 Hi, two days ago I re-installed RDR2 on PC (Steam) and since then it won't let me play the game! After the loading screen (Rockstar Logo) the message comes ACTIVATION REQUIRED ... but I own the game, I am running the Rockstar Games Launcher and I'm connected to the internet all the time. WHAT IS GOING ON? I tried several solutions to solve this but nothing worked. Please help!

44Orca Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 @EmmiΒ If on PC this happens often for people, happened to me a few times as well, the game can start working on its own after a day or so so it's not big issue if it's the same problem. It's like a similar problem with GTA Online, which what fixes it for me is unplugging router and putting it back, or at least try to restart the router. The other is try cut and pasting or deleting the System XML file outside of Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Settings, and launch the game. Also what solutions did you try? vladimirdog2021 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/990830-i-cant-get-past-the-activation-required-message/#findComment-1072150705 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I re-installed the game again and tried every possible solution I could find on the internet and your suggestion with the system xml file but again nothing worked. I also tried to restart it a dozen of times but it did not work. What can I possibly do to fix this issue and be able to play the game again I BOUGHT???

drdrimes Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 I think it's time to contact Rockstar themselves, I believe there's a specific category for your predicament.

Emmi Posted June 13, 2023 Author Share Posted June 13, 2023 The Rockstar Support was actually able to solve this problem. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/990830-i-cant-get-past-the-activation-required-message/#findComment-1072158464 Share on other sites More sharing options...
