But I bet that R* is going to eff it up by only allow four players to play together than instead a posse of seven!

There should be maximum flexibility, everything from solo to a 7 player large posse.

 

But you're right, R* will probably limit it at 2-4 players.

execution of things was horrible!

One of R*s biggest flaws. 

 

I often can see that the idea behind the content is good, but the execution is poor more often than not across the board.

Is it lack of imagination from R*

Yes, alongside an almost pathological desire to control how players play inside the sandbox and to throttle in game money earning potential.

 

I genuinely believe that the root of many of these issues is that R* value their ideology and vision of how content should be played over the player experience.

 

There are too many instances where R* design choices have no use other than to artificially hinder progress or force you to play how they want you to play.

By flaxen bay turkoman, you refer to the dark bay with a custom horsehair i suppose ? We really need roan or dark horses with platinum manes.

Yep, that dark shaded bay coat looks great with the light sorrel mane and tail, I tend to change their manes from the original color. For me there is just something neat about a horse with a dark coat having a lighter mane and tail.

 

 I personally love switching the manes and tails up to get a rarer coat color. Like that flea bitten grey Roadster, you give him/her the light chestnut/red mane and tail you get a somewhat rare Mulberry grey coat.  

 

The roan that they have, based on Kieran's horse in story mode, is so pretty with that dark crest at her neck. I don't remember which breed it is, but I really like that one.

Another thing I wish is for R* to add the paint coats that they gave to the Cob horses to some of the other breeds. The Arabian would look adorable in that nearly white bay pinto coat on the last tier Cob, and the stock (work) horses would look great with those paint coats. It would be even better if we could just mix and match actual horse coats, I could really get some good breed specific coats together if we were allowed to.

Selling horses (as strongly hinted in the RDO Intro missions almost 2 years ago...) and wagons to Seamus would be nice.

Make it like the bank vans from old-gen GTAO where random bank stagecoaches loaded with random amounts of cash along with ones loaded with wealthy passengers we can rob spawn on major roads, and that’d be perfect. We’re bushrangers, after all. Unstructured stick-ups is the name of the game

[Shadowfennekin]

Well the Halloween pass is still better investment than those lame animal transformations lmao

Doesn't take that long to make 15 if you got a streak going, I'm sure I'll make it back from challenges as that's how I primarily get XP for the passes.

I am personally not fond of changing the mane colors, i feel i am not creative enough with tones and rarely my combo will outmatch their natural one. Kieran horse coat is super beautiful by the way, it is a shame though that it stats are a little bit low. It is a flaxen tennesee walker.

This about sums up my opinions on which horse is best and where all horses belong:

Don't you lose faith in our four legged transportation! They're still more trustworthy than my Oldsmobile!

And because I'm a horse lover I shall leave this blaspheming comment with a magnificent mane flip!

 

So there!

I can understand that. But I think, as long as the color looks good it should be natural enough.

it takes 37 seconds to load RDR2 story mode on Series X so online should be faster too

I'm no expert, but I don't feel like that's fast.

Yes, Red Dead Redemption 2 now 100% confirmed to run on Xbox Series X|S via backwards compatibility from day one November 10.

 

It will run the Xbox One X enhancements at native 4K and will profit from more consistent framerates, improved texture filtering and improved loading times. 

 

Loading into story mode took 37 seconds on the Series X vs. 2mins8secs on the One X. 

 

This is not the NextGen version, no optimization took place, but simply the same Xbox One game running on the new Xbox via backwards compatibility. This means you will play the same Red Dead Online as well. Same game, same online, same character and progress. No transfer required since you are playing the Xbox One game, just on new hardware. Your data, progress and character is tied to your Xbox Live account, not to your console hardware. You can basically play RDO back to back on Xbox One, Series X or Series S, no transfer needed. No separate servers or communities. You play with everybody on Xbox One and Series X|S. 

 

At this point R* has not announced a separate NextGen version with new enhancements and expansions, but this should answer some of the questions the community had.

FINALLY found the marble fox and back to having no reason to play the game. See you on next outlaw pass.

Well that's 3.5x faster than the current console versions, without any optimizations, just brute forcing with the raw i/o throughput. Whenever R* decides to optimize this game for NextGen, they can specifically optimize it for the SSD and the architecture and other software solutions. 

[Leftover Pizza]

I hope they include an option to delete stuff from the lockbox. I have a ton of sh*t I'll never take out from club rewards, like 80 parasol mushrooms, 57 Kentucky Bourbon, fishing lures I already have and never loose.

Just got a big update on Xbox One, what could it be?

 

edit: People are saying lobbies are 'fixed' on Reddit.

Edited September 28, 2020 by Pumpkin Zone

[Caffeination]

The game forced an infinite loading screen during a fast travel, so that I close the application and be greeted with this.

 

 

Edit: I am sad to inform you that the lobbies are now “fixed”. Hope you enjoy choppy frame rates and a deserted landscape with scarce amount of wildlife, and a lack of random events.

PS4, but Xbox also has an update, though I’m not sure what its size is.

[Pumpkin Zone]

Xbox update is about the same size, and after updating I got loaded into a lobby with just one person.

 

Edit: Still couldn't fix the hair bug though.

Dude thats too f*cking much for a few "fixes", wtf !!! That was the size of the naturalist update!

Well its monday in the morning for half the world lol.

[TagoKG]

wtf that update is the size of a dlc , WTF R*?

[ALifeOfMisery]

That's one hell of an update where no DLC is involved. 

 

I wonder what will get broken this time.

[fryday]

please bring in reports....I will check in 10 minutes

[ALifeOfMisery]

Someone just tweeted me saying lobbies are full again, I'm still downloading, so I can't confirm first hand.

[RyuNova]

People talking about the size, it's likely the entire Naturalist update being downloaded against and replacing the old one. My guess is that the naturalist update broke something on a base level so they needed to go in, fix it and rebuild the entire update.

Monday "QoL" update  *funeral march starts to play*

I suspect there are temporary servers running, while an update is deployed, so people can still log on and play. Those servers may just be equipped to keep the game running for a short while and still offer full lobbies. In a few hours, player counts go back to low. Happens often with other software packages too. Go back to old to update current. I'll start worrying when we're still in high pop lobbies 1-2 days after an update.

 

Patches can be large in size, but small in change, since they overwrite a file. Perhaps we just need to patch our consoles to redirect to the new updated servers.

[Nerfgoth]

Installing as we speak! I´m on Ps4!!!

Found this!!
