Fix for getting disconnected in RDR2 Online (PC Steam) “You have been disconnected due to an fault on Rockstar game services”.

The Fix

This is what I did:

Search/Cortana (Windows 10 by the way) write windows defender and advanced security hit enter>Yes to UAC if appears>Inbound Rules>Create new rule at right side bar>Port> do these, just copy paste.

Red Dead Redemption 2 – PC

• TCP: 30211-30217
• UDP: 6672,61455-61458

Red Dead Redemption 2 – Steam

• TCP: 27015-27030,27036-27037,30211-30217
• UDP: 4380,6672,27000-27031,27036,61455-61458

Choose UDP or TCP above in that window and copy pasta numbers exactly you see above.

• Next.
• Next.
• Give it a name you remember.
• Finish.
• Reboot the game and rockstar launcher.

(Also click to Rockstar Launcher settings>Account Information>Delete Local Data (This will NOT delete your saves or anything like that, just some garbage files may cause corruption in the game, you will get a pop warning saying this, you can safely click Delete, these data will be re-created as needed – You have to re-login into rockstar launcher after clicking delete).

I was getting like literally 10 seconds of disconnection the moment I enter the Online, but after doing these I’m able to play like half hour, in fact I just completed a match without getting disconnected.

Good Luck

Verdict / Loose Ends…

This should fix your problem as it fixed mine (so far anyway) I will delete this guide if the problem comes back (hopefully never).

Resetting your modem/internet can also help, also try this as a bonus can help for other online games but a little chance.

Search / Cortana >write command prompt>right click and run as administrator>type “ipconfig /flushdns” this will clear somesort of your internet cache.
