If you’re asked if you want to open the .ts3_plugin when you double click your download, you will need to create the file association.

This will allow TeamSpeak to force plugins to be recognized. 



To access this app go into the Drive you installed TeamSpeak onto.

For example:  
This PC > Local Disk (C:) > Program Files > Teamspeak 3 Client > Right click the app “createfileassoc” and run as administrator. Then reopen TeamSpeak.  

Note: if you cannot find TeamSpeak 3 Client in any of your Program Files Folders on any of your drives then you will have to do a fresh install of TeamSpeak.  

If this doesn’t work then you can try this method: 

1. Close TeamSpeak
2. Download SaltyChat 3.1.2
3. Extract the file using 7-zip or WinRaR
4. Go to the extracted folder and find the one labeled "Plugin"
5. Copy the entire contents of the Plugin folder
6. Hit the windows key and search "%appdata%". Inside of that folder, go to TS3Client -> plugins, and then paste the items you copied.
7. Start up TeamSpeak, go to Tools -> Options -> Addons -> Plugins and then enable the SaltyChat plugin if not enabled already.

If you have followed all the steps for installing SaltyChat correctly and if you go to TeamSpeak > Plugin > SaltyChat > Troubleshooting and the WebSocket is running with 0 connections - you likely have a DNS issue.

1. Open the Command Prompt by pressing the Windows key and searching cmd
2. Execute nslookup lh.saltmine.de - If it resolves to 127.0.0.1 then your issue is likely somewhere else.

DNS GUIDE

If you have an IPv6 address, keep in mind to also change the DNS server for IPv6.

Here are some ways to troubleshoot:

1. If you have never loaded into RDO before, play the base game first. This is required to help the game properly initialize.
2. Only connect to the TeamSpeak server when prompted.
3. Open Task Manager and end any "Runtime Broker" tasks.
4. Clear your cache. 
5. Close Rockstar and Steam and restart them.
6. Reboot your computer.

Go to your in-game settings and turn off voice chat.

1. CHANGE YOUR ADVANCED VIDEO SETTINGS

In RedM, the first thing to try is very simple and all it requires is to change a single setting.  

To do this just hit ESC > Settings > Graphics. Then change your ADVANCED video settings from Vulkan to Direct x12 -- or vice versa.

In FiveM, switching from Direct x11 to Direct x10 can actually GREATLY improve performance for low-end PCs.

Once done all you have to do is restart your game! 

If your game is already set to Direct X12 then the issue relies elsewhere -- continue reading below.

2. VERIFY FILE INTEGRITY

1. Open where you bought the game from, i.e. Steam, Rockstar, or Epic.
2. Right click the game and select Options / Properties.
3. Click on verify files and wait for it to complete.

3. INITIALIZE YOUR GAME

Load up the base game and play it for around 10 minutes.  

The cache copies all of the texture files from the main game. 

If you haven't loaded the game up your Game Folder won't have those files by default unless you load up the original game first. 

4. DELETE SGA FILES

1. Press the Windows Key + E to open your file explorer and select the Documents Folder
2. Go to Rockstar Games -> Red Dead Redemption 2 -> settings
3. Delete any file that begins with "sga". DO NOT DELETE ANY OTHER FILE.

5. UPDATE DRIVERS

This is a common issue for NVIDIA users. 

Sometimes graphics drivers can cause issues on certain games, due to either a bad install or to being unoptimized for the game itself.  

To roll back your drivers:  Guide

To do a clean driver install: Driver Updating Software

If NONE of these fixes managed to solve your issue, your last hope would be to do a fresh install of both RRD2 and RedM.
