There is wildlife in the 22 player lobby I'm in, but it's not on a level with what was there in low population lobbies.

 

Also, Blackwater is a warzone.

 

*Sigh*

No surprises. Some haven't been able to 'interact' and they've withdrawal symptoms to appease.

 

Not seen a single moonshine roadblock or hideout yet either.

You are not, same here!  I loved the living world, but ATM (17 player) the spwan is not changed. It works pretty fine,

 

I hope so.

This, the last time I said that in a less PC way I got jumped on. Sometimes not being PC is the best way to describe how people act.

I have the strong feeling, that the "HOT ZONE" lays between 17 player and 22 players

 

17 player lobby, everythings spwans at 100%  .. 22 player spawn rate drecreased to 50 %

[Waingro]

I would hope that whatever the next update of content is, Rockstar manages to let go of micromanaging how players play the game, and instead offer more sandbox-y tools to perform in the game. 

After grinding on Bounty Hunter, I have yet to get a notice of a player bounty also. So please fix that.

So true, it is 2020 after all.

Sounds about right for R* these days.

We're gonna have to keep dreaming on that front.

 

R* want us to play their game, not ours.

I'm still on the former patch, not updated and in a solo lobby. But, despite I have tons of animals to hunt, no dynamic events are spawning anymore. Had 2 or 3 earlier today, but none in the last 2 hours. Can't speak for LA's, because I don't have that many spawns normally either. So far, none has spawned all day. 

 

Did my dailies, so I'll probably do the inevitable and upgrade.

How do you prevent updates? The launcher won't let me play without the updates.

 

Anyway, glad I have everything maxed out. I'll wait for the next major update but only if they expand the current roles. The roles as they are now, especially trader, are boring since there has not been the promised expansion. Like everything else, after a while it gets old doing the same thing over and over.

Whew. Glad they fixed everything.

 

I believe more and more these "developers" are HS kids learning how to program.

Wow, Clownstar games ladies and gents!

Freaking knew they'd fix this before the last legendary FR animals were released!

I will never intentionally insult someone or any issues they have but some times using the term to describe certain behaviours is the best and easiest way to describe something. I am not making fun of people who actually suffer from those issues and never will.

No, last week dynamic events didnt spawned for me in a session with 2 posses,12 players in total, me included.

anybody already discovered other change, but spawns?

 

like rearranged menus, new options etc?

[IzzyBlues]

Had a session on PC just now.

 

4-8 players in the lobby, one of them was a hacker who had a thing for leaving my horse trail with explosives, but I wasn't taking damage. One of the players in the lobby had a yellow name instead of the standard blue name, I'm not sure what that was about.

 

Anyway, animal spawns were fine as far as I could see. As soon as I loaded into my camp, I spawned right near a legendary fox. Naturally I made a beeline straight for it. Long loose waves hairstyle is still glitched with the Valdez vest though. Sigh.

I agree. I'm just to simple to beat around the bush with some points and will call it like I see it more is all. Not to be insulting, that's why I often post longer posts to explain my point clearly, but the way some find offence in the littlest thing can be silly too, sometimes entertaining.

 

I mean no harm.

Nah, they would rather have the game be boring and lifeless as long as Little Jimmy f*cknugget can get his jollies by killing everyone every te seconds and destroying Cargo.

Just keep the game open, before the update hits. It won't auto update. 

Updated the game, lobby size = 5

 

I'm good

Same for me. After update I joined a solo lobby. Just me and another random. Update didn't "break solo lobbies" or "fixed public lobbies" 

 

EDIT: Now the guy left so I'm completely solo lol

Minor complaint, but fish spawns are tied to the lobby size, too. You won't see a lake sturgeon in the Blackwater docks for easy pocket change trips to the butcher.

Really happy I just got the Marble Fox yesterday. Area is going to be a warzone again.

[Zampen]

Logged on and off just as quick just to try the new patch and im still seeing 100% dead lobbys on ps4 (2-8 players) so maybe the game really is dead.

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.

No other creature on this planet is as unfit for continued existence as the horse. No animal besides the equine will, upon a leaf falling in front of its face, whip itself into such a blind panic that it will run until either runs off a cliff to its death or its heart explodes from overwork. If it were not for humans constantly tending to them and relying on them as a beast of burden, they would have gone extinct centuries ago. There is a reason that for most of recorded history, the biggest scientific effort for invention was for a machine that would replace the horse.

Glad at least small sessions are still possible--here's hoping it continues, and that random encounters aren't completely borked.

 

The griefing is another matter entirely; I only saw one in the last few weeks (must have been lucky?)

Hmm, according to the internet the new Xbox does GTAV at a solid 60fps with no enhancements just raw power. Could we see RDR2/O boosted like this?

Well it sure loads faster according to what they say so I guess so

Shaves over half the load times off but that's Single Player. The terrible load times for GTAO and RDO are not hardware based, it's how long it takes to connect to R* archaic service.

Ah ok

[rollschuh2282]

ok i am checking the changes.

they seem to have added/updated a line in the language files.

was added in the global.yldb

Quote

0x3B9E4EB1 = You have been disconnected from Red Dead Online due to a network fault (Error: ~1~)
 

then they put the freemode tutorial video in the update.rpf, my guess a change with it, but still have to check.

they switched the version number from "1311.20" to "1311.23".

they changed this line in the gameconfig.

maybe @Fun 2 can explain if that is a good change,

they changed it from:

Quote

                    <Item>
                      <StackName>BACKGROUND_SCRIPT</StackName>
                      <SizeOfStack value="2047"/>
                      <NumberOfStacksOfThisSize value="1"/>
                    </Item>

to:

                    <Item>
                      <StackName>BACKGROUND_SCRIPT</StackName>
                      <SizeOfStack value="2047"/>
                      <NumberOfStacksOfThisSize value="2"/>
                    </Item>

edit: regarding the freemode tutorial video, they seem to have just replaced the old file with the correctly named file.

so nothing changed
