What is the issue you’re having?
Hello,I am experiencing a persistent crash while trying to launch RedM. The client doesn’t even reach the server list; it crashes immediately during the initial loading screen.Crash Signature: glue.dll+93842Other files involved in Stack trace: rage-graphics-rdr3.dll+10EF4, rage-graphics-rdr3.dll+11449Game Version: Steam original version (The base game runs perfectly fine in Story Mode via Steam).OS: Windows 10 / 11Issue Details:When RedM tries to load, it crashes with the glue.dll error, and simultaneously, the Rockstar Games Launcher closes itself completely in the background. Sometimes it gives an ExitCode = 500 error instead.In the Rockstar Launcher settings, under “Installed Games”, only GTA V is listed. RDR2 is not showing up there, even though it is fully installed on Steam and runs fine from there.What I have tried so far:Reinstalled RedM and RDR2 completely.Deleted Rockstar Launcher local profile and cleared RedM cache.Switched RDR2 graphics API from Vulkan to DX12 in system.xml and via Steam launch options (-dx12).Deleted all sga_ shader files.Ensured neither Steam nor RedM are running as Administrator.Disabled all third-party overlays (Discord, GeForce Experience).Could you please help me figure out what is causing this conflict between RedM, the Rockstar Launcher, and the game graphics engine? Thank you.
