A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There's a specific version of proton to use for RDR2. ~~I believe it's Hotfix. Do a search for getting it to run on Steam Deck, because I recall there may have been a command line argument to add to get it to run.~~
Set proton to Experimental.
Set this as the launch options:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES=vulkan-1=n,b %command%
Wined L lover rides? Got it.
Thanks for the advice, but no-go for me on my Legion-Go with Bazzite. Tried deleting the Rockstar Games folder in Documents, tried Experimental/GE/Hotfix Protons, tried combining the two each time, tried using Cloudflare DNS, tried yelling at it...
It kills me that all my other R* games run fine, launcher included, just RDR2 has this issue.
Thanks. It wasnt a proton issue. The game runs OK randomly if the rockstar launcher signs in properly. Otherwise it just stalls and the rockstar launcher throws an error saying the game is already running
