3. Restart network devices: Restart your router or modem to refresh the network connection.
4. Verify game files: Follow a guide to verify the game files and replace any potentially corrupted files.
III. Additional Solutions
1. Use Google DNS: Change your DNS settings to use Google DNS, which can help resolve network-related issues.
2. Use a VPN: Some gamers have found that using a reliable VPN, such as ExpressVPN, can help bypass the activation error without sacrificing performance.
3. Allow the game and Social Club through the Firewall: Adjust Firewall settings to allow both the game and Social Club to run without being blocked.
IV. Extra Steps
If the activation error still persists, consider trying the following steps:
1. Launch RDR2 from Steam or Epic Games: Some users have reported that the error occurs only when using the Rockstar launcher, so launching the game directly from a game distribution platform may resolve the issue.

3. Insert a flash drive: Surprisingly, inserting a flash drive before launching RDR2 has worked for some gamers.

Resolving the RDR2 activation error can be achieved by troubleshooting your network, restarting the game and network devices, verifying game files, and applying additional solutions like changing DNS, using a VPN, and adjusting Firewall settings. Additionally, trying the extra steps of launching the game from a different platform, running another game before RDR2, or inserting a flash drive may also help.
