Quick Solution First

Before diving into more complex solutions, try these quick fixes:

  1. Open game settings and disable VSync
  2. Restart Red Dead Redemption 2
  3. Check if the game loads normally

NVIDIA Graphics Settings Fix

If the quick solution doesn't work, try adjusting your NVIDIA settings:

Method 1: Adjust Sync Settings

  1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel
  2. Navigate to "Manage 3D Settings"
  3. Click "Program Settings" tab
  4. Add Red Dead Redemption 2 .exe file
  5. Find and modify these settings:
    • Set "Vertical Sync" to On
    • Set "Triple Buffering" to On
  6. Click Apply to save changes

Method 2: Reset NVIDIA Settings

If Method 1 fails:

  1. Open NVIDIA Control Panel
  2. Go to "Manage 3D Settings"
  3. Click "Restore Defaults"
  4. Restart your computer

System File Repair

If graphics settings adjustments don't help, you might need to repair system files.

Important Note

This process:

  • Requires administrator access
  • Can take significant time
  • Needs basic computer skills
  • Should be done carefully to protect data

Using System File Checker (SFC)

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator:

    Press Windows + R
    Type 'cmd'
    Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    

    Alternatively, search for "CMD" and right-click to "Run as administrator"

  2. Run System File Check:

    sfc /scannow
    
  3. Wait for scan completion (3-5 minutes)

  4. Possible Results:

    • No errors found
    • Errors fixed
    • Some errors fixed
    • Could not fix errors

Using DISM Tool

If SFC doesn't resolve the issue, use DISM:

  1. Open Command Prompt as Administrator

  2. Run system health scan:

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
    
  3. Restore system health:

    dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
    

Additional Tips

To prevent future loading issues:

  1. Keep graphics drivers updated
  2. Maintain clean system files
  3. Regular game file verification
  4. Monitor system performance

When to Seek Help

Consider contacting support if:

  • All methods fail
  • New errors appear
  • System file repairs show serious issues
  • Loading problems persist after fixes

Conclusion

While infinite loading screens can be frustrating, most cases can be resolved through graphics settings adjustments or system file repairs. Start with the simplest solutions and work your way through more complex fixes as needed.

Prevention Tips

To avoid future loading screen issues:
