🚀 Good-to-Know Lone Ranger Wisdom 🚀

1. The Manager's Catnap: No need to keep it running while you're wrangling in the game.
2. Restart Ritual: For any lobby changes to kick in, restart the game. It's the secret handshake to the private posse.
3.Code-Sharing Cowboy: Share that lobby code with your amigos for an instant posse reunion. It's like passing notes in homeroom, but way cooler.
4. Lobby Label Logic: The lobby name is your personal touch – use it for your own administration, like naming your favorite horse.
5. Set and Forget: Once you've chosen your cowboy sanctuary, it becomes your home on the range every time you launch the game.
6. Admin Hoedown: If RDR2's camping out in your Program Files, the Lobby Manager tips its hat and kindly asks for admin permissions. It's like giving the sheriff the key to the saloon. 🤠

NON COWBOYISH GUIDE

Main benefits:
No more cheaters ruining your fun.
No more people messing with your 1 hour of game time a day.
Automatically join your friends' lobby - no more reloading sessions to group.
More dynamic world with more free roam 'events' like road blocks, hideouts and ambushes.

Major downside: no multiplayer gamemodes!
In order to join multiplayer game modes again, exit the game, press the Go Public button in the Lobby Manager, and restart the game.

How to use?
When you start the manager, it will read the current startup.meta file (if it exists).
If it finds a passcode in the file, it will try to match it with any lobbies previously configured.
It will show you the code and/or the lobby name.

If the lobby name and lobby code fields remain blank, this means the game is currently not using a private lobby.

Good to know:
The manager does not need to run while the game is running.
The game needs to be restarted for any lobby changes to take effect.
Share your lobby code with friends, so you automatically join the same lobby.
The lobby name is purely for your own administration.
Once a lobby is set, it will be used every time the game is launched.
When RDR2 is installed in your Program Files directory, the Lobby Manager requires admin permissions to work.

Create a new private lobby:
1.Press the Set RDR2 Directory button.
2.Select the root directory of Red Dead Redemption 2
3.Fill in a lobby name
4.Fill in a lobby code
5.(optional) Adjust the lobby number - this helps with creating a unique lobby.
6.Press the Create New Lobby button

Use an existing lobby:
1.Select a lobby from the dropdown list.
2.Click the Use button.

Join a friend's lobby:
1.Get your friend's lobby code and number (pre-1.2.6 use number 2 *giggity*).
2.Create a lobby using the exact same lobby code and number.
3.'This is my lobby ' is not the same as 'This is my lobby' nor as 'this is my lobby '.
4.Every character matters!
5.Start the game.

[ZOSAR]

How can I make my friend join my loppy?

[Nazgul]

Amen.

[anubis7814]

It will not get you banned. It works anyone who tells you otherwise are the hackers that are fucking up this game. Leave all the useless hackers and use this. I play all the time using this and with a group of friends. No hackers now you can enjoy the game as it was ment to be.

[Nazgul]

It’s safe. There’s no check for it, and if nobody’s around, nobody’s going to report you. People have been using it for years and there hasn’t been a single report of any action taken against them from anywhere.

[Kaytastrophe]

This will get you banned. Do not trust it.
