Screen tearing - Likely NVIDIA driver related (545 not released to stable branch - Yet)
Unknown Error: FFFFFFFF when attempting to load into online (main campaign works fine)
Following Rockstars support response that didn't provide any assistance, I attempted to troubleshoot the problem myself. I am pleased to say that I have resolved the issue, and Red Dead online now functions normally.
What was the problem? Well, this is unusual to me as I have never heard of this type of issue causing a crash like it did:
My NVME game drive was not running fast enough...
My NVME game drive has been for nearly 2 years in a PCIE adapter in the 3rd slot of the mainboard. When checking the transfer speed of the drive, I found the read and write speeds were about 1/4 rated speed, and on inspection appears the drive was running in PCIE3 x 1 mode instead of PCIE3 x 4 mode (which correlates with the 1/4 speed I observed). When I attempted to run the game from a different drive, the online mode worked. To eliminate a problem with the NVME game drive, I fitted it into the mainboard 2nd NVME slot losing 2 of my sata drives in the process (shared with this slot and the reason for the adapter in the first place), and ran the game from there - online works fine.
Before you say the adapter was at fault, it works fine with every other game AND the OFFLINE campaign of RDR2, so I think that's not applicable.
