Dark Spark Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Well, there's no doubt that they rolled us back to v1.20 with this. Game's working, except for the plague of 40003902 that keeps me from staying on for any longer than 30 seconds.

Thanks for that, I guess it's just the way I think, I grew up with a father that 'always knew everything and he was never wrong (when he didn't know sh*t)' so I guess when I'm typing and I come back and read what I posted, it sometimes sounds totally different from what what in my head when I was typing. I guess it's one of those little things in the back of your mind and with all the false information that's out there by YouTubers and the like, I'm not a person in the know, so I don't know what's around the corner for RDO, but obviously rumors get out of hand and then everyone gets disappointed when nothing happens. And another thing since we've been rolled back, the sedative rounds are less effective again, I swear they were slightly more powerful with the broken patch since on PC, it wasn't effected that much, but again it could be the placebo effect, but the game definitely feels the same as it was two weeks ago.

Tez2 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 In regards to sedative rounds being more powerful, I doubt that it was an intended buff since the only file that has changed is the executable, and so no actual changes were applied to the Varmint rifle. What I believe was happening, is that as a consequence of all the connection errors that occurred, an issue emerged that disrupted hit registration, causing it to multiply the hit message sent twice or thrice, doubling the damage done. docpain222, eejyool and Kirsty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update.rpf was also updated on the 10th August along with the executable at least on my system anyway. I didn't get the chance to compare the update.rpf that was modified on 28th July, as I stupidly deleted the wrong backup that I keep before each update. So didn't get a chance to go through it with a fine tooth comb to check for slight differences if there were any way. Edit: Scrap this nonsense post, my brain is no longer working today and forgot that it would have changed due to the version number.

AdamNortonUK Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) I have had an NVIDIA rep confirm to me that the alt-tabbing on PC causing black screens, flicker to desktop or BSODs is a bug introduced to the game from the Naturalist Role and it's up to Rockstar to fix this bug as apparently it isn't a driver issue. Just thought I'd pass this information on, for those trying out different drivers to try and solve the issue. I have experienced this a lot so hopefully it will be addressed promptly as it makes the PC version unplayable, not as much as console versions had on Monday but it's enough to prevent you from playing the game properly since it happens so frequently, so trying to do anything when the screen goes black, lags and freezes and you cannot do anything until the game comes back if you're lucky enough not to get a BSOD. At least I know I know it's not gremlins in my system... Edited August 14, 2020 by AdamNortonUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostsoap01 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 So is the game actually working now? I guess so? Well, I'm giving it another try (can't stay gone for long when it comes to this game), hopefully R* doesn't ruin this game any further with future patches.

DadWojo Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Has anyone noticed anything different (good or bad) after their "server maintenance" interruption last night? It was working reasonably well for me (XBox One regular) yesterday evening after the rollback except that the hunting wagon glitch returned (oddly enough it wasn't there in the afternoon but came back in my session last night) but I got disconnected exactly at 11PM Eastern time, exactly the time of the server maintenance but that may have been a coincidence, and I haven't played since to see if anything changed.

Sounds like you're still running the patch from Monday. The game updated today so unless there was a new patch today that must have been the one I didn't get before. Now the game is flashing on and off so bad I can't even get into the game. Can't get to the settings or anything. What a G.D. joke.

Sounds like you might have some one-off problem. I'm on XBox One regular, and just went on for a test - all working great, even able to summon the hunting wagon. Did two easy dailies (oiling guns and drinking booze, never a problem there), also got the comb I needed to complete the weekly 3-collectible mini set. Also got attacked by a raccoon - smaller animals seem to be much more aggressive since the naturalist update - I was carrying a pronghorn to the wagon for Cripps and passed a raccoon which turned around and followed me and when I stopped it charged me. Cute little bugger, until it bit my foot. Sorry you're having such problems still - hope it gets straightened out without your having to do a reinstall.

Commander S Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Got on earlier after downloading the patch, and ...well, I've had no issues so far. Not going to call anything straight away, because after 1.20 and 1.21, I managed a decent session for an hour or two, and only started having problems (network errors with 1.20, crashes with 1.21) on subsequent session attempts - so there's no way to know just yet whether I'm still going to be able to play tomorrow.

Ioannis Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 (edited) Regarding the known bug with the butcher's table not appearing I am happy to say that Rockstar fixed it for me today! After sending a ticket to Rockstar support they fixed the problem within hours for me! The butcher table (along with stew pot and weapons locker) finally appeared on the equipment list! So I instantly bought the butcher's table and started the trader role! I'm so happy it's finally solved, now I can also try the Moonshiners role after this! " So if anyone is still having problems you should contact Rockstar support asap and hopefully they will fix it for you too!

Now that they fixed (for now, at least) the low spawn rate and there's more game around (and messed up the collectibles cycles), I find the trader is the easiest way to make cash - I like to camp in Hennigan's Stead where there are now 3 star pronghorn everywhere out in the open. Load up Cripp's table, and at the same time load up the hunting wagon in reserve once it's unlocked for you, and then go do other stuff while Cripps goes to work. Plus the delivery and resupply missions can lead to productive looting after the shootouts. Ioannis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I managed to complete around 4-5 collection sets (apart from coins) to gather cash and also did a lot of bounties. I only did one mission in the trader role but from tomorrow i will focus on that since I already maxed the Collector and Naturalist roles. Seems fun by the 1 mission I did though. And I cant wait to try the Moonshiners, it was the first role I wanted but I didn't have enough gold at the time. Now in the time I was waiting for the fix for the butcher's table so I could start the role, I managed to collect more gold than I need atm. I even spent around 15 gold bars and 1.000 cash on clothes as a thank you to R* support team. lol Edited August 14, 2020 by Ioannis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give up on this game. It's become pretty obvious to me that these so called "professionals" have no idea what they're doing. Disconnects all over the place. Graphics issues that never get fixed, like floating rocks for example. Every new update/patch adds more problems and have since day 1. I have played hundreds of games over the years and this one is dead last as far as quality. I just don't agree that they are professionals. They seem more like high school kids learning how to develop a game. BTW, I've played about 2000 hours on PC plus 1500 hrs on PS4 before that, pretty much since beta days, so it's not like I haven't given them a chance. I've seen everything that has been changed, fixed and broken. The broken things far outweigh the fixes.
