RDR2 FPS drops after 5 minutes on RTX 3050 4GB laptop

Hi everyone,

I have an MSI Katana laptop (i5-12450H, RTX 3050 4GB, 16GB RAM). The game runs smoothly for about 5 minutes, then FPS drops significantly and stays low with stutters.

If I restart the game, it becomes smooth again — but then drops again after 5 minutes.
 
What I've tried:
- Clean NVIDIA drivers (via DDU)
- Deleting Settings folder and SGA/PipelineCache files
- Launch options: `-ignorepipelinecache -ignoreDifferentVideoCard

Has anyone with a 4GB RTX 3050 laptop found a fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

2160p is not showing on Vulkun and Directx 12 is crashing

I have a 4k display my display settings set on 3840 x 2160, I played other games on 4k and everything is fine

But when I play RDR2 It doesn't go fullscreen and also the 2160p resolution isn't showing, the max is 1080p

I found a fix is when I switch to Directx 12 everything is normal I can go fullscreen and play 4k BUT it crashes after 1 minute and gives me an error ERR_GFX_STATE, I tried lowering the graphic settings to the lowest and the same thing happens

my pc specs:

7700xt 12gb vram

I5-12400

16gb ram

Please help.

Getting very tired of this game crashing every 20 minutes.

Been playing this game for a bit and have been having a decent time, but a recent problem i've been running into is that the game keeps crashing every 20 -30 ish minutes for no particular reason. Been trying to fix the problem, but everything I've found hasn't solved anything. No error message or anything. No mods installed, fresh copy I recently got.
Edit: This problem mostly presented itself when I switched from Vulkan to DX12, which massively improved my frame rate, but seems to have caused this issue. Have already tried deleting dxcache in my appdata folder, restarting game and pc, switching between the two API's, and disabling fullscreen optimization.

Specs:

Amd Radeon RX6550M GPU

2400 MHz VRam

AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS CPU

24GB of Ram

500 GB SSD

How can I get PS5 button icons when playing wirelessly? I'm only seeing XBOX icons

Looking for a method that doesn't involve DSX or DS4Windows

I tried the PlayStation Icons Replacement mod from Nexus but it didn't work

I can't 'Disable Steam Input' because my controller is connected via Bluetooth and if I disable it, the game won't pick up the controller.

Working fix for err_gfx_state?

Hi guys

Finally got myself a gaming PC again and I'm happy to try the famous RDR2.

I'm experiencing the "err_gfx_state" after 1 to 20 minutes ingame and it's driving me crazy.

There are a lot off topics about this error and I've spend hours trying to fix with all solutions online, but none of them work (bios update, reïnstalled game, reïnstalled drivers, -ignorepipelinecache, directx12, underclocking mhz, underclocking voltage, max fps to 60 via Adrenaline, ...)

I'm have a Radeon rx 9070 xt and I understand that the GPU is possible causing the crash... My Pc is just a few months old...

Any working fix before I delete the game completely? I have GTA V working on ultra without any problems so i really don't understand...

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

What controller to use instead of KBM?

New player, I'm finding the KBM combo to be very difficult to navigate the game. I'd like to try using a controller. Which would be the best? Xbox ? PS5 ? Wired, wireless ?

Why did this kid try to kill me

I found a house further down near Braithwaite Manor. I was robbing it, thinking there weren't any people. I found a letter from a mother telling his son she's leaving because of the drunk father.

Then I entered a room and found this kid. I was so startled and ran away that I couldn't take a screenshot of him. But I remember dialogues saying he knew me and that he's prepared for me?

IDK who this kid is or why he's mad. (Then again, it was probably cuz I was robbing him) But his dialogues sound like he knows me tho

Same with Rhodes. 2nd time I went there people were sneering at me, saying I'm not welcome. Was it cuz I freed the kid in the gunsmith's basement? Cuz that's all I did the first time I went there

My mods just... stopped working

I've been modding red dead for about a month now, and today i ran into a problem. I had added the "Jobs" mod and the "Duels" mod today, and i deleted the "NativeTrainer.asi" mod because i just wanted to use rampage, i launch the game, and none of my mods are working. I'm stuck as Arthur in the epilogue, and i cant edit my game anymore. I took out "Jobs" to try to fix it but it hasn't fixed. I need help.

Maximum recommended specs to run smoothly?

I'd like to play RDR2, offline, single player, but from reading many recent RDR2 posts on several forums, it looks like current tech is far too advanced for this game and causes many problems, IE stutter, game not loading at all, crashing etc. So my question is what do you recommend as the maximum system specs to run the game smoothly? Also, does RDR2 run better on an old gaming platform than a PC?

Is there a way to increase the spawn rates of certain NPCs?

Or are there any mods for it?

I have LML and Script Hook as well as Open IV

I don't know what files to look for in Open IV

There also doesn't seem to be any mods online for this afaik

Thanks!

Simple Mod Recs

My friend asked me to show her how to mod since she wants to mod her Red Dead Redemption.

I agreed because I do have some modding experience and she’s really good with technology so I think she just needs to know the basics and she can run with it from there.

Issue is, I don’t actually own any Red Deads, so I don’t know what mods would be good to use to have her learn.

Can anyone recommend any? Preferably nexus mods since I’m most familiar with them, but I’ve used mods outside of nexus too.

Frame drops/stuttering and my GPU usage dropping?

Getting constant fps drops and stutters around every 5-10 seconds, my GPU usage drops to anywhere between 15 and 40% usage during those stutters, my drivers are updated and i've tried every possible graphics setting change and it's had no effect.
