For infinite loading screen, you want to make sure all your apps are talking to the others.

Triple check all your apps in properties to make sure you’re not opening them in admin mode.

Make sure you’re using the discord app, not the desktop website.

Make sure FiveM is listed in your Discord Authorized Apps under settings.

Make sure you have played the online version of Red Dead for about 5 minutes.

Make sure you restart discord, steam, your launcher (epic or rockstar) and redm from the task manager, or you can restart your pc to make certain they are actually fully closed out.

Start up discord, then steam, then your launcher, then RedM.

Make sure your antivirus isn’t being too protective by whatever means it may use. (I had to disable mine completely until I figured out my firewall settings)

After all this, if you still have issues, you can try changing your RedM Game settings to beta or release, whichever one you aren’t set at, and attempt another restart of redm.
