Ok so I found a solution.
So, when switching to DirectX it will ~55% of the time switch to Intel UHD Graphics (or AMD equivalent) and due to the fact that it’s not powerful, you will not load the UI
But here the fix :slight_smile:

Go to the console (F8) :
→ Go to launch → SP → RDR3
→ Then the game loads press ESC
→ Go to settings → Graphics
→ Change the GPU (the first option) and the resolution or the API
→ Press Enter, then restart RedM

It’s fixed now!
Enjoy :wink:
