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.
Not currently available, I couldn't get the exe to compile. Follow the Running on Node instructions instead.
-
Download and extract 'rdr2cleaner.exe' to the root 'Red Dead Redemption 2' folder (same place as RDR2.exe)
-
Double Click and run 'rdr2cleaner.exe'
-
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
-
Once the process is completed, press any key to exit the tool and open the game normally
-
If you use OpenIV or for extra safety, you should verify the integrity of your game files:

-
Clone/Download the project and copy app.js and essentialFiles.js into the RDR 2 Installation root directory.
-
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:
-
Firstly, install the general nexe globally with the command:
npm install -g nexe
-
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.
-
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.
