Connection Guide

Install RedM, check your access, and get ready to play.

Install RedM

Launch your PC copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 once, install RedM from its official website, and test your microphone.

Use the official RedM download. West RP does not require a separate launcher.

Install your licensed PC copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 and confirm that the base game starts before troubleshooting RedM.
Download and run RedM.exe from the official RedM website, then follow the installer instructions. Avoid repackaged launchers and downloads sent through private messages.
Keep the account used for your application and linked Discord account consistent. Installation and Discord membership do not replace whitelist approval.

How to join

Check your voice before a scene

Select the microphone and headphones you actually use. Check your operating system's microphone permission and make a short test recording.
After joining, ask another player to confirm your volume in a quiet place. A working Discord call does not prove in-game voice is working.
Use the voice and push-to-talk settings shown in the current client. Do not install an extra voice plugin unless an official West RP notice requires it.

Learn the controls without guessing

Check the current key bindings and on-screen prompts for interaction, inventory and voice. Server resources and personal bindings can change these controls.
Practise movement, interaction and push-to-talk somewhere quiet. Ask for help before testing a key that could draw a weapon or interrupt another scene.

Match the fix to the connection problem

Access denied or not allowlisted: check your current account access and linked Discord account. An application decision alone does not guarantee access; reinstalling RedM will not change your whitelist.
Server full, queue or restart: read the exact message and current status. Do not assume a restart time or repeatedly reconnect to bypass a queue.
Download or launch failure: first check whether the base game opens, then record the exact error. Do not delete game files or disable security software as a first step.
Voice or controls still fail: record what you expected, what happened and what you tried. Send the error time with its timezone and redact private account details from screenshots.

Make your first session manageable

Check restart notices and their timezone before starting a long scene. Choose one small goal, test your voice, and leave time to finish or pause the scene with the other players.
