I haven't seen this question fully answered in recent pages; sorry if this was answered before though.
So Epic people, does getting it from Epic require R* launcher? I already have it from Control, so figured I would just get it from that, but I won't if I'd have to use R* launcher anyway. Thanks.
Yes it does!
However in its current state its SO buggy, i refunded.
For people crashing using the launcher, try this. Taken from the R* site.
Run RDR2.exe as an administrator
Open the Rockstar Games Launcher
Select Settings
Select Red Dead Redemption 2 under My installed games
Select Open under View Installation Folder
Right-Click on RDR2
Select Properties
Under the Compatibility Tab
Select Run this Program as an Administrator and Disable Full Screen Optimization
Click OK
Return to the Games Menu in the Rockstar Games Launcher
Launch the game
You also gotta run the launcher as admin before hand. Switching the game to Windowed Full-screen eliminates a lot of lag.

I did as you wrote but I still have problems, I get this warning: Unable to start RDR2.exe due to lack of privilege on the folder, Remove any compatibility settings or try to run as administrator.
 So I don't know what to do,
I'll have to uninstall everything, I installed the game on HDD, I also have the SSD disk but I'm afraid I don't have enough space to install it.
🙁
Had same problem, to fix it, I un ticked admin, and kept disable full screen optimization, hope this solves your problem too

Ok, I already solved it, I had to restart the PC, thanks for the advice 🙂
I'm not sure i'm doing this right. In the game when I'm trying to buy something. I can't. I have the money, but the "buy" option just disappears after a few seconds.
It happens on everything. Also. It says i got lots of money. But when i can buy something, it shows that i just have few dollars left after a purchase.
i had this problem too. in fact , if you play with keyboard & mouse, it seems we have 2 selector/pointer when we are in trade menu. a grey one and a red one (when you mouse over a product). if you see a grey one , the buy button will not be present. Use keyboard to move Up & Down to change your selected item. the red slection/pointer will appear then you can choose the item you want to buy. So basically use keyboard when in trade windows to slecte what you want to buy.
Sorry for my bad english.
