RDR2 Crashes using any mod

[Cr1t1caves 1]

Playing on steam. Vanillia version runs good and stable, been playing for 100 hours on vanilla now.
Tried to use LML, but storymode kept crashing upon loading a save, like playing couple of seconds and crash without any log.
Used scripthookV2 to fix, it was obselete. Deleted LML, used PED damage system and scripthookV2, still crashed.
Deleted everything, added small mod (Main menu and intro skip) and STILL game crashes. Been browsing youtube and forums for hours, nothing seems to be helping. Everyone is talking about ScripthookV2, but it doesn't help at all, with or without it, it still crashes. Does anyone has any idea what is going on?

My suggestion with lml is dont use the mod manager use the modloader, all that is, is the lml folder

and the required files in your RDR2 directory.

 

When you install mods then you put them into the lml folder and its installed, with your crashes it could be your

using the mod manager, and not the mod loader, and using either an early or late version of lml.

 

    One i use and have been for couple years now and have no issues with is lml_rdr_beta_9 and i have about 15-20 lml mods installed

plus alot of asi mods installed adding up to over 40+ mods when i play and get no issues.

My game is also set on DX12 not Vulkin.

 

I also suggest using the normal scripthook, not the V2 version, most mods require that not V2.

File wise i have the following files that are required for lml and asi mods and have no issues with the game, they are:

• lml folder (install all lml mods here)
• vfs.asi
• version.dll
• ModManager.Core.dll
• ModManager.NativeInterop.dll
• lml.ini
• dinput8.dll
• ScriptHookRDR2.dll (not V2 version)
• scriptHookRDR2.dev (used for unloading and reloading all mods)

Welcome to RDR2Mods.com btw! Hope that helps!

Thanks for help, but it seems RDR2 just doesn't start now, like, doesn't even start from rockstar launcher or steam. I've got all files you listed, except .dev extension one, couldn't find it anywhere. I tried to use PED damage system to see if anything works, but seems it just doesn't launch. Also used beta 9 and old scripthook from year 2023. Also switched to DX12. I created txt file and renamed it into .dev but still, no avail.

Update: I used LML newest, and created .dev extension myself. My game finally started, had my lml installed but NO mods installed yet. Played for 1 minute and crashed.

You dont need the scriptHookRDR2.dev i just listed that as thats what i use as when i build hideouts and work

on other things for my Bandit Hideouts mod. I use that to unload my mods to add in a new updated file and then reload them.

I would not use that or start with that til you get your situation sorted.

 

What are your computer specs btw?

 

So you have these installed?

• lml folder (install all lml mods here)
• vfs.asi
• version.dll
• ModManager.Core.dll
• ModManager.NativeInterop.dll
• lml.ini
• dinput8.dll
• ScriptHookRDR2.dll

Personally i would start over, i would remove all those and return the game back to vanilla, if vanilla works perfect then

add 1 mod, start with an lml mod or an asi mod dont matter, forget those files i listed, install based on whatever mod you choose requires then go from there.

I would clear my steam and rockstar launcher cache, i would do a verify integrity of cache which you should know what that is because your on steam.

 

Once the game is running perfect then work with one mod only, when you get that working and the game loads and aint crashing then do the next one.

When your in the vanilla game and ingame press esc and create a new save on an empty slot.

      Use this mod to bypass the intro and loading, it will load your game right into your last save, i use it myself, wouldn't play without it:

One thing at a time.

Modloader

 

I switched to lml beta 11, and scirpthook V2, surpisingly, everything worked! I installed PED damage system and intro skip, and for now, it works well, but still, i will see if anything wrong. Gonna add euphoria mod and bandit hideouts, and then we celebrate. Thanks man.
But yes, I think you were right, Modloader was a problem.

Good to read, a good start, glad you got it working and things are stable.

Ya i tried the modloader in the past but i couldn't get it to work, so i was used to doing everything manually

so i went with the lml folder and hadn't any issues since.

 

When you get to playing with Bandit Hideouts any questions ask on the mod page, i frequent the Nexus mod

page seen here: https://www.nexusmods.com/reddeadredemption2/mods/2213

as i get questions every day there.

    Cheers!

Updating that, game crashes while i switch to Vulkan API and turn off triple buffering. For now, opening Ctrl+F12 opens a list of mods active, for some reason, i have 4 mods, but only 2 show up: bandit hideouts and PED, even though i have life of crime and euphoria ragdoll installed, might be just a visul bug? Because they seem to work.

 So I just started playing again for the first time in months and was cleaning up my mods folders and the root game folder. Started having crashing after a few boots of the game. Tried out several combos of different LML and Scripthook versions but absolutely nothing worked after 9 hours of trying

 

This single reply saved my ass. I didn't think to try out the newest version of both of these critical files for some reason. I did it and bam, I can use my 50 odd mods again 🙂

 

If anyone is having this issue just try the new version of LML , SCripthook V2 and Mod Loader  - If you have version.dll DELETE IT

If you haven't already. Check if the mods need an update. Best to do this every few months to keep everything running smooth

Hey So i have a similar problem to that stated above, I followed VDKsk's instructions but if i delete the version.dll file i get the error FFFFF crash, With the version.dll file i get a straight crash after a minute of playing.
