Probably.
Same issue with my original installation of RedM. Decided to try re-installing from a fresh slate and have the same result.
As a temp solution you guys can rename update.rpf in your Red Dead Redemption 2 installation folder until it’s fixed. after you download RedM’s update.rpf, rename it back

I did that, but I got another error at the end of the downloading…

I managed. Just ignored the error and at the next start of RedM it worked.

Kind of ticked that mines not working either.
How do we do that when it doesn’t install the file?
Do u have the Red dead online or the RDR2
Having this issue as well 
Does it have anything to do with me only having RDO and not the full game?
Alright so I got mine working finally. Download RedM, and select the correct install pathway (RDR2 main directory). (If already installed there is no need to reinstall, just keep reading) Once you reach the problem (checking update.rpf), close out of the RedM application. If you get the “RedM needs to update the game cache” popup, ignore this for now. Now go into your RDR2 main directory, and find your update.rpf. Rename the file (i.e. renamedupdate.rpf). Now open the RedM application. You should now get the message that game cache needs to be updated. Do this. (May take a few minutes and maybe a little longer if on a HDD) Once this is done, you’ll probably get an issue that crashes RedM before it even launches. Now go back to your game main directory, and change your renamed update.rpf folder back to original. If you try to launch RedM, and get the error “Rockstar Games Launcher must be running to launch RedM”, keep reading. Launch the Rockstar Games Launcher before running RedM (on the launcher, make SURE you are signed into the same Rockstar account that you use to play Red Dead) With the launcher open and on the Red Dead Redemption 2 section of the launcher, go ahead and start up RedM. It SHOULD load up properly now. Hope this helps

Go to your RDR2 folder and find update.rpf - rename it whatever you want.
-
Run RedM installer and it should work.
-
After an installation DO NOT open RedM client yet and go back to your “update.rpf” and rename it back to its original name.
-
It’s all

guys all ways when i open redm it gets me Checking update.rpf
When you want to play RedM just change the update.rpf to somthing else (I name my one UP.rpf so I know what it is when I wish to play Red Dead online).
how do i find the update.rpf? is that in the app data?
This is already fixed in canary branch (see fix(client/updater): 64-bit file size safety when checking outdated f… · citizenfx/fivem@2618258 · GitHub). However, it wasn’t pushed to production yet and I’m not sure when it will be. I marked a reply with a temp hack, which will make it work again on production, as a solution.

Sorry but how do I use this fix?
I tried this, including renaming it back… once i rename it back I get random errors when attempting to open RedM
The answer were given. Random people keep bumping this topic with not related questions. So closing this.
