Red Dead Redemption 2 - Game crash from main menu

Red Dead Redemption 2 - After recent patch game crashes from main menu when choosing Single player, Multiplayer or Settings. It affects all of the shadow users I believe and some other unlucky folks. Im honestly surprised its not a thread here yet. There is a lot of threads on steam and other forums. 

My copy is thru Steam , but I believe it doesn't matter much

Any recommendations online were not able to resolve this issue incl:

Editing settings. file to switch DX12 to Vulkan and back 

Windowed or fullscreen

HDR On/Off

Async On/Off

Reinstalling whole game 

Reinstalling / updating drivers 

Logging in under new user 

Run as administrator (game wont even start)

Running game in Offline mode - Forever loading screen

Windows Event viewer doesnt show any reason for app crashing.

Literally nothing works, last update just bricked the game completely for us 

My only guess knowing shadow system is some kind of game/online protection that now affects Shadow remote machines. 

I submitted a ticked to Rockstar. Hope we can find a resolution instead of waiting for another RDR patch.

Still not improvment ? I bought the game on instant gaming too so i can’t have refund…. It’s the last game of Rockstar that i buy !

Yeah, main reason I signed up for Shadow. Granted, it works well, but I’m really only using it for MSFS 2020 now, but RDR2 was the whole reason I signed up. If infinite isn’t available by the time my 12 months comes around, I’ll be cancelling and just building a gaming PC. Or will just use Xbox Series X.

For this game, I’m considering trying a cracked copy to see if that works, as ultimately, I own the rights to play the game and we don’t know what component is causing the issue. All I want to do is to be able to play story mode.

Same issue here, it seems like nothing is going on on R*’s side. I would advise you ask for a refund if you do not own another gaming setup than shadow...

Well, i bought the game yesterday and i run into the same issues… I do agree with the poeple saying that R* will never fix the issue due to money. Luckily i still have a PC able to run the game, but i do feel betrayed.

Hi, let's sign a petition to Rockstar Games, Inc to so they fix the problem and restrictions on Shadow computers, or let's start a class action lawsuit against Rockstar Games, Inc

Go for it. I’m genuinely interested to see how that will pan out.

Realistically, you’ve a better chance of success at going after Blade, after all, it is their marketing that says:

Install and play PC games you own

Compatible with all your PC games from any digital game store, like any Windows 10 PC.

Which is simply not the case. As it is not compatible with all my PC games from any digital game store. I’m not one for biting the hand that feeds though.

Ultimately, what it requires is both companies to work together to fix this. That is what we have been told is happening. I doubt enough is being done, but Shadow/Blade have their hands tied right? So who is to blame in this situation?

The right thing to do in this situation would be for Rockstar to reimburse those who have paid out through 3rd parties for keys and cannot use the game. Then we can either repurchase on another platform or just not deal with Rockstar anymore and lose the opportunity of playing one of the best games released of all time. Supposedly. I guess we’ll never know.

But given this thread is 3 months old and has 104 replies, I do not think our cause is one that will be furnished with much attention. We are simply insignificant in the grand scheme of things.

I have no complaints about Shadow Tech.  Well done guys, they have a great product, thank Shadow Team! 👍

Rockstar Games did something intentionally that the game stopped working on Shadow :(
