Lonely-Martin Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 If it's true tgat lobbies remain small still, makes me really wonder why we're downloading 3gb+ of crap for, lol.

kcole4001 Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Played for over 2 1/2 hours, I had 2 others at first, then 4, then I was alone. I had missions all over the place, though medium animals were scarce at first, lots of deer, no rabbits, raccoons, etc. Eventually critters filed out the landscape. I even got the posse daily done thanks to the two fellows who started up a posse to get the hunt done. I was on the defender's side, never done that before. No one came around looking...there were only two of 'em anyway, there was three of us. Lonely-Martin and DentureDynamite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue has a negative vibe. i played rdr2o after finishing update download and i found myself in a small lobby, if one of the thngs the update fixed was lobby size issues, it didn't work (i maybe wrong and was lucky to get into 2 player lobby).

Got my challenges and hopped over to an alt. account; just me and another but not for long; rando left after a few minutes. Feeling confident now. Loaded back into main; this time about 8-9 with 3-4 posse leaders. Time for experimentation: went into the Change Appearance and backed right on out. It's been 20 min of solo lobby atm I am typing this. There isn't any lobby merging going on (still); just an influx of people checking out the update. I think many of those extra players are in posses. Next time you get a larger lobby with posses, see how many are in each posse. I had 13 earlier but 7 were in 2 posses. When the posses left, the number of players dropped and stayed below 5 the rest of the time I was on.

ALifeOfMisery Posted September 28, 2020 Share Posted September 28, 2020 Had 20+ player lobbies for an hour or so this afternoon, after the update, but I've been on for over 3 hours tonight and never had more that 5 players, including myself, in any lobby I've been in. Bagged another Onyx Wolf and Chalk Horn Ram too, so LA spawns don't seem to have been affected.

Caffeination Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hmm... weird, only 2 people besides me in the lobby this morning, except they're all high levels. Like, waaaay high level, in the 500s and beyond. Rev. Gnash 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here; most I had was 8 (very briefly) then it dropped to 2 or 3 other players. Still quite a lot of random encounters, treasure maps, animals, ambient NPC population, etc. FuturePastNow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IamCourtney Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 So what was the purpose of a 3gig download the day before update day if not to fix the lobbies? ALifeOfMisery 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the same thoughts, lol. But have seen folk mention they fixed the bug where people would lose progress in another thread. Of the 2, I guess it was fair to fix that issue asap.

Was a biggie compared I felt and could have killed the game outright had it grown too. Glad we can play knowing it won't be compromised like that later on.

Would be nice, though if so they must have hidden the files well. Not easy for R* to hide much in these games these days. Assblaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why PC patches are typically smaller (this last PC update was ~194 MB via Steam); but they're also compressed, which saves some DL filesize. That said, any brand-new content will need to be downloaded on the PC too. Edited September 29, 2020 by DentureDynamite Assblaster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
