REDM ERR_GFX_D3D_DEFERRED_MEM

[gargaa23]

Hi everyone,

I’m experiencing persistent crashes on RedM with the error: ERR_GFX_D3D_DEFERRED_MEM The crash occurs before the server loading screen, right after launching RedM.

My specs:

• Intel Core i3
• GeForce GT 1030 (2GB VRAM)
• 8GB RAM
• Windows 10 (fresh install, brand new profile)

Red Dead Redemption 2 runs flawlessly — both offline and online — no crashes at all. I’ve played RedM for years with zero issues, but now it suddenly started crashing every time.

Here’s what I’ve already tried:

• Switched graphics API between DirectX 12 and Vulkan
• Set graphics settings to minimum in RDR2
• Increased virtual memory (paging file: 12000MB initial, 24000MB max)
• Disabled Steam overlay, GeForce Experience, Discord, etc.
• Deleted shader caches and RedM caches
• Reinstalled RedM in a folder outside “Program Files” (C:\RedMClient)
• Created commandline.txt with:

-ignorepipelinecache
-nomousegrab
-graphicsMemoryScale 0.5

• Disabled “Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling” and Game Mode
• Reset the entire PC last night and created a new Windows user account

Despite all this, RedM still crashes instantly before reaching the server screen.

Does anyone have suggestions, or is this a known issue with the GT 1030 or RedM’s memory allocation? Really appreciate any help — thanks in advance!
