PING

Because RedM is a large mod overlaid atop RDR2, some things might not render 100% of the time. This is often the result of high ping (amongst other things) and not something we have control over, unfortunately. High ping is considered 150ms or more.

1. High ping rates can result from various factors, including inadequate internet connectivity and outdated hardware or software components.

2. Potential causes may include an outdated graphics card or drivers, as well as pending Windows updates.

3. Additional contributors to high pings can be a full or malfunctioning C-drive, corrupted game cache for RedM, and damaged game files or applications such as Steam and RedM.
