ERR_GFX_STATE crash on RedM with RTX 5060 Ti (RTX 50-series)

What is the issue you’re having?

I’m getting frequent ERR_GFX_STATE crashes on RedM.
RDR2 single-player works perfectly, the issue only happens on RedM.

The crash usually occurs a few seconds to a few minutes after joining a server, often while interiors or map resources are loading.
I’m posting this to see if other players with RTX 50-series GPUs are experiencing the same issue and to share possible workarounds.

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

  • Clean GPU driver reinstall with DDU
  • Tested different NVIDIA driver versions (currently 591.74)
  • Forced DX12
  • Disabled async compute
  • Lowered POM to Low
  • Reset and manually edited system.xml
  • Disabled all overlays (NVIDIA, Discord, Xbox)
  • Shader cache set to Unlimited
  • Tested DLSS enabled/disabled
  • Tested DLAA forced via NVIDIA App
  • Verified RDR2 files
  • Fully reset Windows (clean system)
  • Reinstalled Red Dead Redemption 2

The issue still happens.

What server did you get this issue on?

Boot up RedM and put your game into the Latest(Unstable) branch and reboot your game. See if that works.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion.

The issue is resolved now. I switched the graphics API from DirectX 12 to Vulkan and I can play fine under Vulkan, but still not under DirectX 12.

I also had an issue where my graphics settings kept resetting every time I restarted the game. I didn’t really change anything specific, but after playing RedM for several hours, I tried adjusting the graphics again and this time they didn’t reset. Not sure what caused it, but it seems fixed now.

Thanks anyway for your help, appreciate it.
