Issues connecting / creating character

There are a few issues people can run into when they first join:

    Invisible character in the character creator

    • Swap genders, this should reveal a ped for you to modify. If this doesn’t work you can try hitting F8 and typing ‘fixinvisble’ (without the quotes).


    1) “I’m in the character creator and don’t see a person”- Swap genders, this should reveal a ped for you to modify. If this doesn’t work you can try hitting F8 and typing ‘fixinvisble’ (without the quotes).

    2) “I’m stuck in the Red Dead loading screen (black and white loading screen before you get to the DRB launch screen)”- This tends to happen when people launch directly into RedM without having ever played RDR2 story or RDO. In order for RedM to work properly your social club needs to be logged in and synced, which happens when you launch either version of the base game. Load into RDO, create a character, and play up until you have completed the prolog mission and you should then be able to log into the server with no issues.

    3) RedM is telling me I can’t get in because I’m not “whitelisted”?- We are not actually a Whitelisted server, but you do have to be a member of this Discord to be able to join. When you first launch RedM with Discord open you should be prompted to link your Discord with CFX which is what will allow you into the server. If you are having issues you can try closing out of everything, restarting your PC, then opening, in this order, Discord, Steam (or whichever platform you own RDR2 or RDO on), then RedM. Also please note you have to have the Discord App running, not be using the web browser version, and make sure you aren’t running Discord in Admin mode.

    *If you are having issues connecting to the server, rather than clicking the “join” button you can also connect by simply hitting F8 with RedM on the home screen and typing: “connect play.drb.gg” (without the quotes but you do include the space after the word “connect”)
