A tool to clean out mods from Red Dead Redemption 2 for online play, and restore them later.

Note: You will need to take ownership of the RDR2 folder if you own it on the Rockstar Launcher.

Get the latest version from the Releases page.

Download for Windows

Not currently available, I couldn't get the exe to compile. Follow the Running on Node instructions instead.

1. Download and extract 'rdr2cleaner.exe' to the root 'Red Dead Redemption 2' folder (same place as RDR2.exe)

2. Double Click and run 'rdr2cleaner.exe'

3. Enter your choice. Either 'clean' or 'restore'

'clean' : Cleans your RDR 2 Installation of mods leaving you with the Base Game for Online Play

'restore': Restores cleaned mods for Single Player

4. Once the process is completed, press any key to exit the tool and open the game normally

5. If you use OpenIV or for extra safety, you should verify the integrity of your game files:

   • Steam: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/0C48-FCBD-DA71-93EB
   • Rockstar Launcher: https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/360036000713/
   • Epic Games Launcher: https://www.epicgames.com/help/en-US/technical-support-c90/general-support-c91/how-do-i-verify-game-files-in-the-epic-games-launcher-a3638

1. Clone/Download the project and copy app.js and essentialFiles.js into the RDR 2 Installation root directory.

2. Open Command Prompt inside the RDR 2 Installation root directory and run node app.js

Executables are compiled with a very specific version of nexe that allows access to the filesystem, which has a tricky setup procedure.

Run install_nexe_win.bat as admin on Windows, will take about 5 minutes to install fully.

Alternatively, install manually like this:

1. Firstly, install the general nexe globally with the command:

   npm install -g nexe

2. In the project root folder build some executables with this version of nexe to download node binaries for Windows:

   nexe . --target win32-x86-10.13.0

   This will download the binaries we need for later, delete the executables built with this for now.

3. Now we need to install a specific version of nexe that allows access to the filesystem:

   Run the command:

   npm install -g cspotcode/nexe#19a5046

Now we should have the correct version of nexe for building.

Confirm by running:

nexe -v

Check that the version is 4.0.0-beta.4

Run build_win32.bat on Windows to build a Windows Executable. This can be found in /dist.

To Compile Manually

To build a Windows Executable, run the command:

nexe . --target win32-x86-10.13.0 -o ./dist/rdr2cleaner.exe

in the root directory of the project.
