Red Dead 2 Crashing at Bullet Intro Fix

It seems that many PC players have been experiencing a game crash when the second bullet of the intro sequence drops. This is a bug, and will likely be patched out soon, though for now we recommend the following.

1. Disable antivirus, especially if using Avast.
2. Update drivers, and reload the Rockstar Games Launcher

Can You Get Past the Bullet Intro By Using Safe Mode?

From what we’re seeing online, the Safe Mode option offered after the game crashes is not fixing this issue. We recommend disabling your antivirus software for a temporary fix. Rockstar will likely address these issues, and if they do we’ll be sure to update this page.
