Bugs, bugs and other complexities can be put up with, but when the game cannot be launched, it is incredibly frustrating. We will help you solve this problem and enable Rage 2 on any PC.
Gamers often face crashes and errors in 2 Rage, but most of these problems are solved by restarting or timely saves.
However, for some players, the game simply does not start, and this problem can have a huge number of reasons. In this guide, we will analyze each of them in detail.
Broken launcher files
Many players are experiencing a strange bug ERROR.GAMELAUNCHSCANREPAIR (2.19.740.16.10.2583)which prevents the game from launching. This issue is related to the Bethesda launcher, so it's not clear when it will be fixed. You can solve the issue yourself with just a few clicks:
- Open the Bethesda game downloader.
- Select Rage 2 from the list.
- Open the Game Options tab.
- From the proposed functions, select "Scan and Repar".
- Wait for the launcher to find and fix the error itself. When the process ends, the latest updates will be downloaded.
After that, you can turn on the game. In 90% of cases, this method completely fixes the error in which Rage 2 does not start on Windows 7 or any other OS. The main thing is to carefully follow the instructions and make sure that the update was successful.
Windows 10 defender is blocking the game
If Rage 2 won't launch on Windows 10, then you're having a problem due to built-in antivirus. For some reason, it perceives some update files as malicious and does not allow them to install.
If you use Windows Defender firewall, then you will need to add the game to the allowed list. This can be done in two ways:
- Just every time run Rage 2 with admin rights. To do this, right-click on the shortcut and select the "Run as administrator" option.
- The second method is more complicated, but then you can start the game as you like. For this it is enough open Windows Defender (click on the white shield icon on the right side of the screen), select "Virus and Threat Protection" and click on the linkAllowed Threats". Just add Rage 2 there and the Bethesda launcher itself (if you play through it). There are usually no problems with Steam.
If you don't know how to find the game in the application list, here are their exact directories:
- C:Program Files (x86)Bethesda.net Launcher/games/RAGE 2
- C:Program Files (x86)Steam/steamapps/common/RAGE2
- C:Program Files (x86)/Bethesda.net/Launcher
Note. If you have several hard drives, and you installed the launcher and the game not on the “C” drive, then just select the partition you need. After that, the path will be exactly the same as we described above.
Rage 2 won't launch without error
The absence of any notification as to why Rage 2 won't launch indicates that the problem is not with the game itself, but with your PC. Most often this is associated with antivirus or other computer protection system. We described above how to solve this problem on Windows 10, but a similar problem may occur on other versions of this OS. Then you just need to add the game to exceptions its protector program, and everything will start without interference.
If this method did not work, then open the directory \\Windows\\System32 and remove the amdvlk64.dll file from this folder. Do not delete it, but move it to another location, because if your mistake was not related to it, then you will need to return the document to its place.
Startup problems due to mismatch of PC components
Every game has its own minimum requirements, and so does Rage 2. If your computer does not match them, then the game may simply not start, and nothing can be done about it. Most often, users experience problems due to:
- Processor. If you have a dual core processor, then the game will not work. Wait for a patch from the developers or find new components.
- Video cards. If it does not support Vulkan technology, then the game will also not work correctly. You can find out if this feature works with your video card in the screenshot that we posted above.
Rage 2 won't start error
Not always universal solutions can help get rid of an annoying problem with the game. If you get some special error on the screen, don't worry. Rewrite or copy its title and all the text that comes after it. Next, you will need to write to the game developer and send them this data. Soon the creators of the game themselves will explain to you how to solve this problem. You can write to the developers through their official site. Also can help you Bethesda tech support, which can be contacted through the launcher.
When fixing Rage 2 bugs, don't forget about the simplest method of solving the problem - just reinstall the game. Sometimes it is an incorrect installation that leads to the fact that the program stops running.

If it crashes and hangs in processes and does not start (but it did run before), then apparently you cut off vertical synchronization. You can turn it back on through the config: in the search line we write Id software, open the folder and click on the config file. The Vsyns parameter must be =1.
