Red Dead Redemption 2 not working on Steam Deck – Social Club Error 18
🐧linux🎮steam-deck
Hi everyone. I’m facing the following issue.
I installed Red Dead Redemption 2 on Steam Deck through Heroic and selected the latest Proton version.
On the first launch, the game installed Rockstar Games Launcher successfully. I logged in without any issues. After that, the game starts, shows the logo and copyright screens, and then crashes with a Social Club error (Error 18), asking me to close the game.
If I add the launch command WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b it does not change anything.
If I edit the system.xml file and change "Vulkan" to "DX12", then Rockstar Games Launcher shows the error: "Red Dead Redemption 2 exited unexpectedly" and the game no longer launches at all.
Does anyone know the currently working method to run this game?
