Steam link

What is the issue you’re having?

Hi
I might just be an idiot but I just got rdr2 and redm yet whenever I launch redm, and try to connect to a server it says I have to open steam to play. Steam was always open whenever I tried to connect to a server. And my rockstar account is already linked to my steam account. I did purchase rdr2 on the epic games store so when I located rdr2,exe for the redm set up process I had to go to program files----epic games vs program filesx86—steamapps—common etc etc. SO idk if thats causing an issue. Any help would be appreciated thank you
