What is the issue you’re having?
Hi, RedM doesn’t launch properly after checking files and doing a 5GB download. It connects to Rockstar, then closes, but never appear a fullscrean redm app showing the server lists. It’s running in Task Manager but no visible window.
I had installed both RedM and FiveM before (probably mixed them up). Even after full cleanup, RedM still keeps downloading files named like gta-core-five.dll into its AppData.
During installation, RedM says:
“The local RedM game data is outdated and needs to be updated. This will copy 5.1 GB from the local disk and download 80.5 MB from the internet.”
I suspect that the 5.1 GB being copied locally includes leftover or wrongly identified FiveM files — which could be why RedM ends up using corrupted or incorrect files like those DLLs from GTA/FiveM.
What have you tried already to fix the issue?
Here’s what I’ve done so far:
-Fully uninstalled RedM and FiveM
-Deleted folders in:
-%localappdata%\RedM
-%appdata%\RedM
-%programdata%\RedM
-%localappdata%\FiveM
-Deleted all CitizenFX-related folders and files
-Cleaned registry keys related to Cfx, RedM, and FiveM
-Rebooted and reinstalled RedM from scratch

Additional comments
After launching RedM, it checks the game files and says there’s a 5GB download required. It downloads those files, connects to my Rockstar account, and then the application disappears — which I believe is normal right before it should launch full screen and show the servers list.
But that part never happens. RedM never shows up. The app doesn’t open visibly, although I can see RedM running in Task Manager.
I had previously installed both RedM and FiveM (probably mixed them up), and now even after uninstalling both and cleaning everything, RedM still isn’t working.
Also — and this is strange — I noticed that inside the RedM\Application Data folder, RedM keeps downloading files with names like gta-core-five.dll, which seem to be FiveM-related files. I also shared a screenshot of this earlier.
During installation, RedM says:
“The local RedM game data is outdated and needs to be updated. This will copy 5.1 GB from the local disk and download 80.5 MB from the internet.”
I suspect that the 5.1 GB being copied locally includes leftover or wrongly identified FiveM files — which could be why RedM ends up using corrupted or incorrect files like those DLLs from GTA/FiveM.
Is it possible that RedM is pulling the wrong artifacts from the Cfx servers, or that my AppID is somehow linked to FiveM data?
Any help would be really appreciated — I’ve been trying to fix this for days.
