What is the issue you’re having?

I have a problem where my game crashes every time during character creation.

We have tried many things, but nothing seems to work.

Finally, I have one question: Is it possible to start Red Dead Redemption 2 with RedM in DirectX 12 mode?
I have run many tests, and we always get the same result—the game starts in Vulkan.

My GeForce GTX 960 is old, but it can run the game. However, it seems impossible to change the startup parameter.
The game always launches with Vulkan, and then it crashes.

So, does anyone know if there’s a way to change this, or is it simply not possible to play without Vulkan?

What have you tried already to fix the issue?

We have tried everything possible to change the startup parameters, including modifying the registry entries and adjusting the settings in Steam.

What server did you get this issue on?
