We need that Ranch DLC

I'd rather have a locked homestead and a barn/stable that can only be accessed via corona, than this crappy camp that can't stay in the same place for more than 2 hours.

Yesterday my camp GLITCHED: it stayed put All day, 

today business as usual

glad they fixed it(sourcasm)

[Psych32]

Is it normal for your camp to disappear after each login? After I set up a camp and log off, it disappears when I log in. I hope this is not the case

[Chunkey_Monkey]

If a region has its full allocation of camps. When you use the menu to select camp location thet full region is greyed out

all these roles are beginning to seem that way too..

Dont see it often so i dont believe a full region is anything to do with camp spawn issues, Ive tried other regions when one is greyed and camp still dont spawn 

 

Edit i spend upto 12+ real hours mon thru friday and now believe camp spawns and animal spawns are directly related to the amount of players in the lobby and of course the despawning linked to the soft merging of lobbies  over 22 players its a bloody nightmare, for good spawns both camp stability and animls under 15 players

I had a beauty tonight...

 

Finally got a camp to appear in the Heartland.  Rode up to the hilltop where it was, but only half the items were there.  No wagon, no tent, no Cripps.  The flag, fast travel, fire pit, and that side table was there (WTF is that side table for?)

 

I check the map to find the camp icon had moved over towards Emerald Ranch.   Eh, okay... I ride there and there nothing there, except the icon on the map.  I ride back to the hilltop and half of my camp is still there.

 

I did shoot some videos of this.

I never had an issue placing a camp before this update, regardless of how many players were in the session. As far as animal spawns, not everyone has that issue.

The Trader role is useless at the moment.. my camp hasn't worked at all since Wednesday.

Was this the location right by the train tracks? If so, I had the exact same issue. Half a camp made up of a few tables and benches, no butcher table and no Cripps. On the plus side, no yapping mutt either.

I think I have to stress this once again. For anyone who wants to set up camp, use any NPC mission givers that provide you with the following:-

 

• Destroy Supplies

• On The Hunt

• Wagon Retrieval

 

You will be put into a solo session that will either merge with a populated one, or it will indefinitely be a solo one, meaning you can do distant deliveries in total mundane safety. 

 

I recommend starting with Rhodes and checking with Alden for a Wagon Retrieval. If he’s giving you a caravan escort, leave him and check with Anthony Foreman just outside of town for a Destroy Supply. If that doesn’t work, or you’re in New Austin, travel to MacFarlane Ranch or Tumbleweed, and check Bonnie or Sheriff Freeman for a wagon retrieval or On The Hunt. 

 

This issue will NOT be fixed until the next update, and that will not arrive any time soon.

In my experience a session merge will take place shortly after you complete the mission, at which point your camp will almost certainly despawn again.

Like I said, you either will stay in a solo session indefinitely, or the game will eventually merge you with a populated one and reintroduce the problem.

 

Alas, unlike you, I have experienced an indefinite solo session this morning. You have to keep trying.

Says who? That's what patches are for, not every bug fix has to wait until an actual content update. The rest of what you said is solid advice though.

[Leftover Pizza]

They are probably working on a fix, which we'll be beta testing for the PC release like the we're beta testing all of the FP update already.

[Foxwolfe]

Honestly this is kinda par for the course with large multiplayer games like this unfortunately, not really any way to test the real world impact of tens of thousands of players all playing the game at the same time while it's in development. Granted some devs do it better than others with things like test servers and whatnot but it is what it is.

Bug fixes outside of the major content updates are fairly rare for Rockstar. It does happen, but generally @Caffeination is right and we’ll be waiting until the November update. You only have to look at the posse versus stuff and how long that was completely broken for.

The camp stuff was broken well before the FP update though, Rockstar just didn’t bother to fix it despite the entire Trader role being built around them.

I never had much issue with my camp until this update, either way hopefully it gets fixed sooner rather than later given how much they're pushing us to utilize them.

[netnow66]

I finally submitted a ticket about not being able to spawn a camp. I requested that if they can't fix the issue, the least they could do was refund the money I spent to create a fast travel location at my camp.

but it seems, that since the update much more players are using the camp. before the update there was no need to.

 

this could be a factor for the bug...

Only rank 5, getting to rank 16 (for the satchels) is a f*cking Nightmare! 300 xp for a 30 minute delivery??

Best of luck with that. I submitted a ticket as well. They we're worse than useless... 

 

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We understand your concern regarding the Camp not being set up in the desired location.

We would request you to try these steps as a workaround.


1. Press D-pad left
2. Select your Posse
3. Click Reform Posse
4. Go to Settings under Posse menu
5. Select Camp and choose Camp Size
6. Select Camp Location
7. Your camp will now be pitched in the location

This is how the Camp works:

1. Camp will relocate if you move to a new region as it attempts to follow the player.
2. Camp will relocate if you log in to a new session since the game attempts to place your camp in the region but away from other player camps.
3. The camp will be packed up if no space can be found in the region if you go to a new region the camp will move and find a suitable space.

Please let us know if that solved your issue. Looking forward to your response.

 

No this does not work. The camp menu just keeps flashing when I select a location. 

Even if I try other regions it will not pitch a camp

 

 

Thank you for your response.

We are sorry to hear that the below steps did not resolve the issue.

We would like to inform you that while pitching a camp, as you are still unable to do it we recommend you to try changing session as the location might be occupied where you are trying to pitch the camp.

 

[CMCSAVAGE]

Oddly, I didn't have any issues earlier. I must've moved my camp a dozen times or so, and it worked 1st try.

Believe me, I'm not really expecting them to do much. They've been basically worthless for me. But I figure they might throw something to me since they are sometimes so free with giving out gold--not game fixes. And I've gotten worthless responses similar to yours from them previously.

R*...a compromise?

 

If you can fix your broken system can you at least make it so that the Camp produces in the background regardless of being pitched or not? At least until you come up with a permanent fix?

[FluxFader]

This is the most annoying thing ever; my Collector and Bounty roles are at 20, but I can't level my Trader if I can't pitch my tent

But it produces in the background, doesn't it? Sometimes I get the "materials/supplies needed" notification while the camp is gone. And not just after joining a session.

You know, I had the feeling it did when I was typing it. Can anyone confirm? If thats the case then the issue is drastically reduced for me. I will just stop it to the gills when I can get it to pitch and not worry about it.

Can't confirm that it works 100% of the time in the background, but usually when I finally can get to my camp, I've more units of product and less materials/supplies.

 

Having Cripps not producing in the background in the current state of the game (camp issue) would be a HUGE gamebreaker, not just an annoying broken feature. They probably know.

To my now chagrin I have been spending a long time trying to set up Camp and jumping servers etc. If that's the case I can leave setting up my Camp and just set it up at my leisure.
