Occasional crashes in Saint Denis Area, 1 crash in Rhodes with FFFFFF error with Vulkan API. But mostly it ran fine, around 6 crashes in whole playthrough
MANGOHUD=1 gamescope -h 1440 -H 1440 -- %command%
Protontricks not required, launched fine out of the box. Mod support is very easy, effectively the same as windows except for having to add dinput8 to your libraries in winecfg (via protontricks)
Occasionally in Red Dead Online you will get an Error #FFFFFF crashing the game, I dont know what causes this.
Outside of RDOs problems itself, linux didnt change anything
Mantener los graficos predefinidos basta, pero puedes hacer ajustes leves en cuanto a resolución y escalado para mejorar un poco el rendimiento o duración de la batería
Tal vez pueda ser tedioso para algunos tener que instalar Rockstar launcher en el proceso.
Si estas jugando con joystick, al volver de una suspensión, el juego dejará de detectarlo y te pondrá por default teclado y ratón (aplica lo mismo al jugar en modo portatil)

Rockstar Launcher did give issues when trying to log in, I was presented with the error: "Sorry, we are unable to handle your request at this time"
To fix it, I had to do the following:
(NB: Make sure you are starting on a clean state, if you tried running the game before, use ProtonTricks to enter the RDR2 default wineprefix, and clear all the data so you start on a clean state, Proton tricks can be found at: https://github.com/Matoking/protontricks)
Download the Litrus Rockstar installer from their host: https://dl-eu.opendataapi.net/lutris/games/GTA/rockstar-games-launcher-1-0-36-344.exe
Then go to your local install/download of RDR2 and enter its redistributables folder, usually located in "SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Red Dead Redemption 2/Redistributables/"
In that folder, delete the "Rockstar-Games-Launcher" and the "Rockstar Social Club" installers. Then copy the Litrus installer into that folder and rename it to the original "Rockstar-Games-Launcher"
Once copied, Launch RDR2 from steam using Proton 8.0-5, You should then get a prompt to install the launcher, follow the normal procedings and when at the login screen use your rockstar credentials and the error should be gone.
Had zero issues
Does not get past registration window
Every time I try to create a Rockstar Games Account I get the error: Sorry, we are unable to handle your request at this time. Without this step I cannot continue. Internet connection works fine.

Nothing to do just don't change the API in the main menu and leave Vulkan API. DirectX 12 API will crash the game. If you did the step to change the API, here where you need to go :
/SteamLibrary/steamapps/compatdata/1174180/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Rockstar Games/Red Dead Redemption 2/Settings/
Search the API section inside the file "system.xml" and change : kSettingAPI_DX12 to kSettingAPI_Vulkan. Saving and relaunch the game.
after ~1hr my mouse input begun to stutter everytime (only in the Game)
sadly it started to crash when i was around 10 hrs in when pressed "m" to open my map (now it wont start at all) (sound was still playing but i couldnt make any input)
gamemoderun %command% -vulkan -height 1440 -width 2560
game crash when trying to leave windowed mode
It defaulted to a 720p window
occasional crackling, not sure what makes it occur. Very inconsistent
Had to go into games's settings and set correct screen resolution on first play. Now the game auto opens to full screen, windowless.
see long end notes
For dual boot, Linux Mint and Windows 10, or for using external game storage devices, the RD2 steam files needed to be on an EXT4 formatted drive/partition to work. Steam/proton refused to load the game for me otherwise. The "Play" button would turn blue, then quickly back to Play.
I used Steam to move the game files, then had to verify the integrity of the game files and the Steam Runtime files. Steam needs all three Linux Runtime programs (scout, soldier, sniper) to work. Set forced compatibility, Proton Experimental.
Wine was installed, with the 32-bit libraries, over the course of trouble-shooting the above issue, so not sure if it has an effect on the final result.
To access the save files from both Windows and LM, this requires messing around with the "My Documents" folder. Open Windows and find a program to mount EXT4 in windows. I used Ext4Fsd. Use the program to mount the EXT4 partition/drive in windows. Then in file explorer, right click "My Documents" folder, go to "properties", then "location". Change the TARGET path to "(EXT4 partition/drive)/yourpath/steamapps/compatdata/1174180 (game#)/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/documents". I copied all my files to the new path, but copying just the game files might work. I was able to access my saves from LM after rebooting.
Will likely mess up your other uses of the Documents folder when using Windows.
gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -f -- %command%
probably because i'm playing under Hyprland. using gamescope fixed the issue
rockstar launcher handles save games slightly weirdly between devices, lost some progress moving from steam deck to pc
Unplayable - Game doesn't start on a laptop with hybrid graphics
I tried multiple Proton versions and launch options. I was only able to play once, for a while it worked flawlessly until it crashed. From that point, I never got it to work. It's always stuck on loading screen. Maybe it'd start after disabling iGPU. I'm not going to do it though, it'd be really unconvinient for me to disable it only for RDR2. Not worth it.
The game runs very well under normal Proton with no settings changed. I had one crash in about six hours of gameplay so far, which I believe was due to running out of RAM while compiling something in Rust in the background (lol). I plan to complete the full game if I don't get burnt out.
Overall, the game runs completely fine just as it would on Windows.
Symlinked Red Dead Redemption to the proton folder, triggered verification then clicked play.
Slight input delay, but went away with turning on DLSS
Used: GE-Proton10-3
it works out of the box. There are some issues that are resolved with a quick restart if you dont want add launch options.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Noticiable crackling during gameplay.
Game does not like to stay in fullscreen, changes to windowed every start.
Game slows down after around 40 mins of gamemplay, fixed with restart but inconvenient.
Ran quite honestly perfectly throughout my full story playthrough of 46 hours, absolutely zero issues faced.
Runs excellently when it finally starts. Possible "fix" for "A game is currently running" issue?
Takes slightly longer to open than you might think. Like a few others on this forum, I had Rockstar Games Launcher telling me the game is already open. My "fix" for this was found entirely by accident, simply waiting. Yes, really. When the warning window popped up that the game was already running, I started checking my phone for something related to the issue. Around 30-45 seconds later, the game suddenly started without any further input from me. From now on, even though the game says it's already running and won't launch a second copy, I just have to be patient and wait for it to appear. I'd guess it should take no less than two minutes on slower systems, but I don't have any way to test or confirm this.
In having an equal experience on Linux as I did with Windows.
Given my hardware, and after watching a lot of the benchmark videos, I was expecting a 20-30% hit in performance but there's a 0% hit.
MANGOHUD=1 gamemoderun %command%
Setting to fullscreen takes an extra try. Otherwise works just fine.
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Steps that i did to make the game to run properly:
- Disable Resizable bar
- Disable Steam overlay
- Set launch options: LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
With Resizable bar enabled after 10-30 minutes the whole system crashes. With Steam overlay enabled game crashes after 30-60 minutes. Without launch options game begins to stutter after ~30 minutes from any input (when moving a mouse or pressing on a keyboard).

Recently switched to linux and this was my first game on it. Massive lag at the start. Most important out of all these is YOUR DRIVERS. I was using cachyos nvidia drivers. Don't do that. Go to this site https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/InstallingDrivers.md and run the command based on your distro. Works like an absolute charm after.
Install the drivers as mentioned before
Install the drivers as mentioned before
Make sure you enable rockstar cloud save before you first start playing, that way your saves will be synced from your previous systems.
Follow my notes
Follow the previous comment.
Unplayable out the box. Need the drivers installed.

Game runs really well. Could say it runs better than in windows.
Multiplayer works great, just as it did on windows.
I had to give myself some more zram and swap file sizes to avoid crashing due to my low RAM. Otherwise, the game runs smoothly.
I tried to launch the game via PortProton with install in it Rockstar Game Launcher. All versions of Proton wich I have in PortProton not working for me. I'm add Rockstar Launcher to Steam as an outside app, and game start and work well with Proton Experimental. Try this if you press button "play" in RL and nothing happing
works like a charm
small glitches when loading
its working great now, I was not smart before as I switched to bazzite from linux but did not formated my hard drives, after formating to btrfs all the games that didn't work are working now Im a big dumb dumb
No dice on a 3080ti laptop
Tried a lot of launch options and Proton versions. Got to Save game loading screen at the most. Wasn't willing to roll back my nvidia drivers to earlier versions
LD_PRELOAD="" %command%
Добавьте LD_PRELOAD="" %command% в параметры запуска и не будет проблем с фризами в игре через онлайн режим, игра работает идеально.
Just works without problems!
None
Log in is required for launcher
Sometimes textures just pop right into the screen
Sometimes has a FPS drops but not too often
This game is a masterpiece and it is worth every penny.
USB Headset provides two audio devices (chat and game) - using either of these as output resulted in silence every ~5s for ~1s. Using my speakers (connected via 3.5mm cable) workes completely fine
Trees and their shadows flicker when coming closer - probably when changing LOD. Using TAA instead of FXAA made it less noticable
The game loves to jump back to windowed mode everytime you tab out
It just works
seems unusually quiet, have to have it on 70% system vol to be able to hear anything at all
