High Ping 101: Overview

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.

Check your ping in the Player Scoreboard (via [T] /list):

• The closer your ping is to zero, the better.

• below 20ms = low (exceptional) ping 

• 50ms to 100ms = average (very good) ping

• 150ms or more = high (poor) ping”

High ping may cause the following anomalies:

• Not seeing other players

• Missing horses/drivers on wagons

• Huge groups of boats on water-ways

• Holes in the ground

• Missing buildings

• Wildlife in atypical locations (atop/inside buildings)

• [G] commands not working properly for horses/housing

• Crashing, freezing, lagging

The biggest (but not only) reasons for anomalies:

• Poor internet connection

• High ping

• Many people in the same game area with poor internet/high ping

The best and often only way to fix anomalies is to relog!
