Was able to get it working by installing the 2022 C++ Redistributables from Microsoft:

Then uninstalled and reinstalled RedM with a few restarts.

That’s odd and unlikely to be related.

Your crash dump however showed ‘aswhook.dll’ from Avast which makes it more likely that Avast did some ‘automatic sandboxing’ breaking the app, and ‘uninstalling and reinstalling’ somehow made Avast not consider RedM as an issue.
