Guide for Running Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 on a Personal Computer

In the vast and unpredictable world of Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDO), multiplayer glitches can sometimes disrupt the cowboy adventure. To help you navigate these challenges, we've compiled a list of tips to improve your multiplayer experience.

  1. Restart the game completely: A full restart can refresh the connection and apply any updates or changes that may have resolved the issues you're facing.
  2. Switch to the beta version (if available): If a beta version of the game is available, try switching to it to see if it addresses crashes or disconnects, particularly during missions.
  3. Ensure you are logged into the correct account: Incorrect account logins can cause connection errors, such as error code 152. Make sure you're logged into the right account, be it your Epic Games account for PC users.
  4. Check your internet connection stability: Basic network troubleshooting, like restarting your router and console/PC, can resolve issues like "unable to join friends" or server disconnects.
  5. Avoid launching multiple concurrent sessions: Running multiple sessions or having unnecessary background applications can reduce network performance or cause conflicts.
  6. On PC, reinstall the game if issues persist: Some players report that instability is resolved only after a full reinstall of the game.
  7. These collective community and official suggestions aim to reduce crashes, mission disconnects, session join failures, and other common RDO multiplayer problems across platforms.
