how to run red dead redemption 2
how do we run this game? where is the latest tutorial for this game? I can install it using the Heroic Games Launcher (both Interal and SD CarD) but it does not boot after rockstar launcher. the black screen will show up after the game tries to load.

1. don't use a proton version that's more than a year old
2. don't use proton with heroic, use wine-ge
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
I will download Wine-GE through the app proton-qt
opps, sorry about that, silly me. i will try right now
Wine-GE-Latest is fine ? thats what i will be using right now
I have Rockstar launcher running all of a sudden in game mode after using Wine-Ge-Latest
It is now installing Microsoft Direct X .....
After I installing Rockstar Gaming Services and login, it asks me to scan previous games, i selectecd Cancel. I was then exited out of the game. I relaunched the game, and a new prompt showed up asking about Cloud Saves
I feel like I am almost there
now it is at the progress bar with black screen
after progress bar with black screen, it is just a black screen. i am back to sqaure one. and this is with Wine-Ge-Latest proton in heroic
I will remove that variable message right now
and post a new log
I removed the useless environmental variable
i selected prefer system libraries
And once again, the proton is Wine-GE-Latest
I will be posting the LOG real soon.
black screen with progress bar is gone and now it is just a black screen.
I have to force restart the device.

it is OLED steam deck
I want to remain in the Heroic Games Launcher eco system. I used to use NonSteam Launcher script on the older LED steam deck (1st gen), the game would load but i would have to launch EPIC GAMES Front End first and then load the game inside of that.
I prefer Heroic Games launcher because you can TIE your EPIC library (once installed) to your Steam library..
Most people say avoid Non Steam Launcher Scripts because it can make your system (steam deck ) worse or something. theres too many scripts involved..
the scanning part of the launcher (rockstar) is to load the rockstar launcher and see what is in that library.
for some reason, EPIC games does not want to be part of rockstar launcher. it treats it as a seperate store.

you have to force the game to run on vulkan, but try the below first
also set WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=n,b"
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
okay the game loads without the WINEDLLOVERRIDES="vulkan-1=n,b"
but the game is really slow
i think i have the infamous 1 FPS issue
I think when you load the game , you have to re launch a few times. even then, when you have a BLACK screen after the black screen with the progress bar, you need to leave the device on at the BLACK screen for at least 10 minutes
I was thinking of buying the game on STEAM but i dont know if my cloud save from EPIC or Rockstar (if they support it) will transfer over into Steam
wise-white•2y ago
just get it running on epic
saves money
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
its running right now but it is in the loading part. i was able to select my story mode but that was slow as well...
wise-white•2y ago
ok go to the game settings
turn off vsync and use fullscreen mode
and enable vulkan (if it's still running at 1 fps)
dunno im just searching reddit for stuff that could work lol
yeah it is working
I was looking at issues people were having on windows
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
the game now froze on me including the steam deck
the game is stuck in gameplay mode though, at least we have progress
wise-white•2y ago
have you tried the WINEDLLOVERRIDE thing I shared earlier
you need it for the vulkan mode for some reason
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Add a new Evironment Var
Name: WINEDLLOVERRIDES
Value: vulkan-1=n,b %command%
I am trying out the game now in game mode to see if it works now
so, Value: vulkan-1=n,b
i wil give it a shot
im at the progress bar with the black screen
same issue as before, its just a black screen
i think it is stuck at 1 fps
wise-white•2y ago
the only thing it fixes is graphical glitches
the game should work fine
even without it

should i check out CryoUtilities software? https://github.com/CryoByte33/steam-deck-utilities

I give up, i cant do much any more to this
the new limited Edition Steam decks are alright, it is much better than the OGs one.
all of my games work , and i love testing this thing.
the only issue I face is Red Dead Redemption 2 from Epic, otherwise, i do not face any problems.
close thread
i fixed the problem
I am not sure if the previous steps made a huge difference , but once you are able to enter the game (it can take up to 20 minutes) , do not enter story mode or online. Just go straight into game settings and change Output Adapter to 0 from 1 under the graphic settings. save your settings.
save the setting, the game will restart and no more waiting .. the game will run normal
"Output Adapter" in the graphics settings , change it from 1 to 0 .
@OOOOOF123 @Doogie (M.D.) @termdisc close this thread. thank you.
wise-white•2y ago
ah must have been using software rendering then
that's hella impressive if lavapipe can run this game
genetic-orangeOP•2y ago
Make this a popular opinion : once you are able to enter the game (it can take up to 20 minutes) , do not enter story mode or online. Just go straight into game settings and change Output Adapter to 0 from 1 under the graphic settings. save your settings.
it is a confirmed fix
not sure if
wine-Ge-latest proton
and adding a environment variable even matters
just run the game , let it run for 20 minutes and then just change the output adapter setting from 1 to 0 under the graphics settings before launching story or online mode.
