Did you try to disable/uninstall your Anti-virus? Yes.
Did you start Rockstar Games Launcher not as admin? Yes. One thing I will add, is that for some reason, despite owning the full game, only Red Dead Online is showing up in the Rockstar Launcher. I’ve purchased the full-game through Steam, though.

Also add what you already tried so far.

I deleted caches, I’ve tried to unisntall, and reinstall multiple times – This including RDR2, Rockstar Launcher, RedM, and Steam. I’ve updated my Driver. I’ve switched from Vulkan to Direct X 12, and then back to Vulkan. I’ve set RedM to High Performance in my graphics settings…

I’m really at a loss, here. Help would be super appreciated!!

So, I’ve attempted to uninstall, and reinstall RedM – I’ve noticed that it doesn’t ask me to select the folder with RDR2.exe in it during the installation. But I did double check the path file, and it does indicate it’s directed to RDR2, I believe.

Not sure if that’s causing an issue?

I FINALLY figured out how to fix it!!

So, with some help on the Cfx Discord, someone mentioned something about what part of my computer my monitor was plugged into. I realized I had it plugged into the WRONG slot! The monitor MUST be plugged directly into the GPU.

Now, I did some additional steps to make sure everything was directed towards that specific GPU. Who knows though, simply switching where your monitor is plugged in may completely fix it. But this is what I did after making the switch:

I hope this works for whoever is having similar problems with the RedM launcher getting stuck on the loading screen!

If anyone needs clarifications, please let me know, and I can provide extra details!
