i have had this issue for like 5 weeks, i want to play rdr2 because theres been nice mods coming out and stuff. but the game doesnt go past loading screen (i tried leaving it running for 8 hours with still infinite loading screen), this has been happening ever since i installed the Ultimate GameConfig For Lot's of Mods i installed the first version and it broke the texture loading even after i uninstalled it then i removed all mods and never got past loading screen then i reinstalled and nothing i tried many fixes online and also nothing

    DirectX12 or Vulkan? Use Vulkan.
    AB Scripthook or ScripthookV2? Use V2
    version.dll or dinput8.dll. There is 3 versions of dinput8.dll. Use either the one that comes with V2 or Ultimate ASI Loader (Win64 dinput8.dll) delete version.dll, and use this instead.
    Out of all the .asi's I had to remove/replace some:
    NoInvisibleSnipers.asi = Replaced with NoOutOfBoundsSnipers.asi
    Rage-LowPriorityPropsRestore.asi = Removed
    SpeedUpStuff.asi = Removed
    I haven't tried the first version only the second of the Ultimate Config, but my game hasn't bugged like that. I've uninstalled the config too and had no residual effects that carried over. Have you tried a different save?

      yeah i did have scripthookV2  and outofboundsnipers.asi and i didnt have those 2 last .asi's but i do use dx12 because vulkan has weird blur effect and crashes in saint denis and i dont use upscale mods so theres no need

      Try deleting Vulkan cache? Might fix crashing in Saint Denis.
      %UserProfile%\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\SettingsDelete these 3 filessga_vulkan_final_init.vkPipelineCacheHeaderWindows
      sga_vulkan_final_init.vkPipelineCacheWindows
      sga_vulkan_final_init.vkWarmupCacheWindows
      I'd still try Vulkan, I couldn't even play the game with DX12. It would say Out Of Memory immediately when it loaded and I wasn't even using any upscale textures either. To mitigate blur I just use ReShade with some sharpening filters. If you're on ScriptHookV2, you can press Shift+Insert to bring up a menu and look through which .asi mods are loaded. Infinite loading screen still happens for me sometimes. After installing a new mod it sometimes happens. Restarting the game after first infinite screen it usually works, but the mods I posted above caused it to happen all the time.
