# How to Change the Game Build on Your RedM Server (1491)

> Set the RedM game build on FREAKHOSTING: change Game Build in Startup (sv_enforceGameBuild, default 1491) and restart. Skip the GTA V list on Server config.

The RedM game build is the Red Dead Redemption 2 version every player must run, set with `sv_enforceGameBuild`. On FREAKHOSTING, change it with **Game Build** in **Startup**: the default is `1491`, the September 2022 update and the RedM build Cfx.re lists. Restart the server to apply it. Don't use **Game build** on **Server config**; that list is for GTA V.

| Difficulty | Time | Panel page | Default |
| - | - | - | - |
| Beginner | 2 minutes | **Startup** > **Game Build** | `1491` |

## What is sv\_enforceGameBuild?

The [Cfx.re server commands](https://docs.fivem.net/docs/server-manual/server-commands/) describe it as the setting that "selects a game build for clients to use". It can only be set when the server starts, not while it runs. Cfx.re's RedM list has one build:

| Build | What it is |
| - | - |
| `1491` | September 2022 update, limited content and changes |

Use another number only if Cfx.re adds it to that list, or a resource you use asks for it.

## How to change the RedM game build

**1. Open Startup**

Open your server in the [Game Panel](https://games.freakhosting.com) and click **Startup**.

**2. Set Game Build**

Type the build number in **Game Build** (up to 4 digits), for example `1491`. Click outside the field; it saves on its own.

**3. Restart**

Restart the server. The build is passed to FXServer when it starts.

> [!WARNING]
>
> **Server config** has a **Game build** field with a list of GTA V builds, such as 2060 or 3889. Those builds don't exist for Red Dead Redemption 2 and would write a wrong `sv_enforceGameBuild` line. Leave that field **not set** on RedM. **Server config** shows **not in the file** because the RedM build comes from **Startup**, not from `server.cfg`.

## Is the game build the same as the FXServer build?

No. The game build (`1491`) is the Red Dead Redemption 2 version players run. The FXServer build (for example 38055) is the server program, changed on **Artifacts**. See [how to update your artifacts](https://help.freakhosting.com/games/redm/how-to-update-your-redm-server-artifacts.md).

## Frequently asked questions

### What game build should my RedM server use?

`1491`. It is the default in **Startup** and the build Cfx.re lists for RedM.

### Can I change the game build while the server runs?

No. Cfx.re says `sv_enforceGameBuild` is only read at startup. Restart after changing it.

### Why is there no sv\_enforceGameBuild line in my server.cfg?

On FREAKHOSTING the build comes from **Game Build** in **Startup**, which is applied when the server starts. Don't add your own `sv_enforceGameBuild` line to the file; change the number in **Startup** instead.

### Why does the VORP recipe also set 1491?

The [VORP txAdmin recipe](https://github.com/VORPCORE/VORP_txAdmin) puts `sv_enforceGameBuild 1491` in its own `server.cfg`. That matches the default in **Startup**.
