I am brand new to RedM and I am also dealing with this. I have tried everything I can think of or find to troubleshoot the problem.

26

I’m experiencing the same problem. I’ve tried it on two different devices, through Epic Games and Steam.
I uninstalled and reinstalled Redmi (using the Revo app).
I uninstalled and reinstalled Rockstar (using the Revo app).
I installed a new Windows.
I uninstalled and reinstalled the games on both devices.
I verified the files before uninstalling the games. Despite all this, I haven’t found a solution. Please help!

same problem for me

I am also having this issue

Is this issue solved?

32

Tried everything in this thread but still couldn’t resolve it.

Setup: RDR2 (Steam, full version, not standalone RDO), game and Red Dead Online both launch fine directly via Steam and via Rockstar Games Launcher. RedM worked fine on this exact account ~1 year ago.

Error: RedM stuck at “Validating Rockstar Entitlements” → “Not allowed for this game type”

Log:

InitROS: Steam
Found launcher!
MTL says it's signed in
Got ros:legit process
Account id ******
Obtained error from CPR: - 403 - Not allowed for this game type.

Already tried:

  • Full clean reinstall of RedM
  • Full reinstall of Rockstar Games Launcher (including deleting AppData folders)
  • Clearing RedM cache
  • Verifying Steam game file integrity
  • Full reinstall of RDR2 itself
  • Installing RDR2 on a different PC
  • Full system reboot
  • Router reboot
  • Enabling VPN

Same 403 from CPR every single time, regardless of PC, install, or network. I think this strongly points to something being flagged/restricted on the account side rather than a local/client issue. Any ideas what else could cause this on the account/server side?
