Are you eager to dive into the world of Red Dead Redemption 2 and create your very own RedM server? Look no further! This comprehensive tutorial will guide you through the process step by step. Whether you’re a seasoned gamer or just starting out, we’ll break down the process into manageable chunks, ensuring you can set up your RedM server without any technical hiccups.

Getting Started

Before you embark on this exciting journey, it’s important to have a reliable server hosting platform. We highly recommend our partner host, Zap-hosting, for all your RedM server needs.

What is RedM?

RedM is a modification for Red Dead Redemption 2 that empowers you to create your own servers. With RedM, you can join player-created servers or even design your own RedM RP (Roleplay) server. This opens up a world of possibilities to craft unique gaming experiences and relive the Red Dead Redemption 2 universe in your own way. RedM is exclusively available on PC, while servers can be operated on both Windows and Linux systems.

Setting Up Your RedM Server

If you’re new to server hosting and want a hassle-free experience, Zap-hosting is your go-to option for renting a RedM server. Even without advanced technical expertise, you can easily set up and manage your server through their user-friendly interface.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Let’s address some common queries that players often have when it comes to RedM servers.

Who can rent a RedM server? Anyone over the age of 18 can rent a RedM server. Our recommended partner, Zaphosting, makes this process simple and accessible.

What’s the difference between RedM and Red Dead Online? While Red Dead Online is hosted on Rockstar Games’ servers, RedM gives you the freedom to create your own server that you can host yourself. You’ll have control over game rules, admin privileges, currency distribution, and more.

How much does a RedM server cost? The cost depends on the number of server slots and the technical specifications you choose. Zaphosting offers server options starting at just €5 per month, making it an affordable choice to kickstart your RedM journey.

Creating Your RedM Server: A Step-by-Step Guide

Now that you have a grasp of the basics, let’s dive into the setup process for your RedM server. The process is quite similar to creating a FiveM server.

Requirements:

• Windows or Linux (Ubuntu/Debian recommended)
• Git 1.9k or newer (highly recommended)
• Visual C++ Redistributable 2019 800 or newer (only for Windows servers)
• Basic command line and Git skills

Installation:

The file paths mentioned below may vary, but ensure there are no spaces in your file path. Use hyphens or underscores for separation.

• For Windows Server:
  1. Create a base folder (e.g., C:\MyRedMServer).
  2. Inside this folder, create two subdirectories: a. C:\MyRedMServer\server-files for server binaries. b. C:\MyRedMServer\server-data for server resources/scripts.
  3. Visit http://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_server_windows/master/.
  4. Download the latest recommended artifact and extract its contents into the server-files folder.
  5. If you have Git installed, open a command prompt, navigate to the server-data folder, and clone the cfx-server-data repository.
  6. Create a server.cfg file in a text editor and insert the provided example server.cfg.
  7. Generate a license key on https://keymaster.fivem.net and replace sv_licenseKey with your key in the server.cfg.
  8. Launch the server from the command prompt using the command: ..\server-files\FXServer.exe +exec server.cfg +set game rdr3.
• For Linux Server:
  1. Create a base folder (e.g., ~/redm).
  2. Within this folder, create two subdirectories: a. ~/redm/server-files for server binaries. b. ~/redm/server-data for server resources/scripts.
  3. Visit http://runtime.fivem.net/artifacts/fivem/build_proot_linux/master/.
  4. Right-click on the latest version, copy the link path, and download the server artifacts.
  5. Extract the downloaded file using tar.
  6. Navigate to the server-data folder, clone the cfx-server-data repository, and create a server.cfg file with the provided example.
  7. Generate a server key on https://keymaster.fivem.net, and replace changeme with your key in the server.cfg.
  8. Launch the RedM server using the command: bash ../server-files/run.sh +exec server.cfg +set gamename rdr3.

Essential Tips for a Smooth Start:

• If you’re hosting the server on your own PC, connect using “localhost.”
• For external hosting, ensure you’ve opened the necessary ports (30120 UDP/TCP for server traffic, 30110 UDP for the server list, 30130 UDP for cfx.re/join proxy links).
• To prevent your server from appearing in the list, add sv_master “” to your server.cfg.
