Deliveries are much easier if you don't listen to waypoints and just go off road. Just watch your radar for how close the elevation lines are to not go off a cliff.

I know, but like I said, I had something that needed my attention just when I started the delivery and was away for about 15 minutes.

Unbelievable. I had something urgent that needed my attention just when I started a delivery run, and the game only gave me 20 minutes instead of 30 as usual, so I placed a weight on my X and put on the cinematic camera to keep the wagon going while I’m gone.

You know what I came back to, with five minutes left and nowhere near my destination? My character moving at a SNAIL’s pace because the road was blocked by a slow-ass wagon driver.

 

I’m going back to Story Mode. f*ck Online, I’m leaving it for a good while.

 

it is the same sh*t when riding in a average speed and you are trying to pass a npc on horse and you start riding next to them instead. AND then THEY get angry and start weaving their rifle around. It always end bad for them!

I just want to ride in a slow and steady speed.....

And use that big long train bridge gapping New Hanover and West Elizabeth at your own risk, it'll scrape off a good few minutes.... but the train could also charge right towards you at any second lol

I've honestly never had the train spawn in front of me going across that bridge for the 50 times that i've done that. It's only spawned behind me but it's slower than the wagon

[ThaBirdCoot]

Trains dont even spawn for me anymore

[Leftover Pizza]

Wasn't even able to fill up half the materials bar in 4 hours hunting.... Not an animal in sight, anywhere.

[Krommer]

Today I had all of the problems:

 

• No animals spawning, since 20 or more people (except when get alone, for resupply/bounty/whatever.
• Every daily I tried to do, such as a bounty one, would usually "disconnect due to a fault in the rockstar server.." before I'd finished it. Of course, then that bounty poster is gone even though it disconnected you.

I finally managed to do all but the PVP daily, the bow one or something, which I never do anyway.

 

Oh, and the stupid snake skin one; Usually my horse is spooked by a "red dot" snake (especially in the desert/rio bravo, where I go since pronghorn groups pop up even when nothing is spawning), EXCEPT for when the daily is to skin two. I'll try that again later, got tired of the disconnects for now.

 

Managed the 2 long distance deliveries by waiting until after a regular one, then doing it with like 1 plus materials and smashing the small wagon (boy, that thing is pretty durable.) Then I throw it on the horse; These times the bags did not go underground, so good deal!

Why the hell does opening maps/documents get interrupted by putting longarms away?!

The real question is, why does the game automatically put the longarms away in the first place? Please R*, I don't need the game to play my game and make decisions for me. If I want to put those weapons away, I'll do it myself.

[jazzbone]

So with a large wagon and a max load to deliver why do i only get one slow a$$ horse. That heavy load needs 2 horses.

Why no camp cats? I love cats. I want a camp cat next update. A Siamese that purrs when petted would be nice. Edited November 10, 2019 by jazzbone

Why can we sit on cliff edges but not lean on railings like in the Valentine Saloon? I want to lean on the railing and watch the madness that ensues below whenever new players roll into Valentine for the first time

[Assblaster]

Griefers have been terrorizing players in towns a lot lately. Then again it is the weekend. The silly punks run up and punch your horse over and over trying to get you to shoot first. They tend to get impatient and shoot, but defensive mode helps, and they're usually easily dispatched-- except the ones that hop about like bunnies, they need an extra shot or two unless they're up close.

 

It's annoying though when you're doing something and really don't wanna be bothered.

Yes this is a pain on the weekends. Not only that but defensive mode is absolute garbage now that R* has loaded everyone up with dynamite arrows and explosive ammo. I spawned in and got one-shot killed immediately near Valentine. TWICE. Then the ASSWIPE goes blue immediately on respawn. F*CK YOU ROCKSTAR YOU SH8THEADS. This just f*cking pisses me off. Sorry for the bad words.

 

Have to add that camp spawns are effed once again. Hey R* morons, news flash: your servers can't handle 22 players. Dipsh*ts.

Jesus tapdancing christ, i bought RDR2/RDO for PC thinking it would be a fun few weeks with my GTA:O buddy's enjoying a cheater free environment with a bit slower paced game, but the cheating started 2 days after launch (or at least thats when i started spotting the first scumbags) and now 2 weeks after launch 95% of players has godmode, can run sideways full speed while staying locked on to your head & god knows what else?? R* devs had 6 god damn years to learn from GTA:O, but did they? nope, of course they didnt learn jack f*ck, a quick google search just gives you ready made scripts to throw at cheat engine and there you go, godmode, infinite health ammo funds etc for the online mode. So its even less secure then GTA:O... for F*CKS sake.

 

And then to make it even worse, because who doesnt love built in cheats, they expanded on the whole BS that was in GTA:O where you can join free aim lobbys using the built-in aimbot (that for GTA:O i always assumed was a bug, but i guess its a feature?!?!) because now you can even 'improve' the aimbot (change how far it goes to auto lock-on) and if that wasnt cancerous enough oh hey heres some f*cked up cards you can buy so you heal when you do damage, cant die from a headshot, etc, but obviously you can only get these if you're a high level, or willing to spend real world money, because you know, R* really needs that money to make it to the end of the month?...

Not to even begin mentioning the few dozen bugs i've already seen, didnt this game launch a year ago for console? what the hell have they been doing since that release?! 

And to top it all off every day since release the connections issues grow, idk maybe im just a moron but wouldn't it make sense to expand your serverpark as you get more players? not downscale it 'because we are over the initial hump'? Oh and surely i would love to constantly be put in the same freemode session with the same griefers/cheaters every single day yes? F*CKING LOVELY GUYS, THANKS.

Seriously im starting to wonder if R* are a big advocate of employing 'simple' people? or what is going on here? They learned nothing, are making the same mistakes as they did with GTA:O launch, and overal pvp in RDO just makes me wanna stab people, several dozen times. Honestly this might be the last R* game i buy.

 

----------

Finally, somewhat separate from the above (which is bscly just all hate towards R* for not doing their job) when did people stop reading even the most basic descriptions of jobs? This game has some actually fun freemode events, but every single one of them is ruined by 90% of the players thinking its just a deathmatch, STOP SHOOTING RANDOM PEOPLE, FOCUS ON THE TASK YOU'RE GIVEN YOU F*CKING MORONS, MY GOD.

 Imagine those of us on console who have persevered since BETA, a year ago. I'm not sure how many of us OG's stayed with it the whole time, but there's a few. On PC? You're in for a wild ride. Cheats, Mods & Hacks/Hackers. That's why I stopped PC gaming years ago & went console.

Oh man. My experience in a nutshell.

 

I took the plunge because I'm a masochist. I have a PC with better than minimum specs that can run it. My experience:

 

1. Error when purchasing via the Rockstar Launcher. Had to download the Epic games launcher to purchase it.

2. The download took an hour then another half hour to decrypt it. Ok whatever.

3. First launch - error. WTF? Of course.

4. Reboot machine. Launch again, same error using the Rcckstar Launcher.

5. I use the Epic launcher and it opens the Rockstar launcher and prompts me again for my SC creds which I've already entered maybe 700 times (f*ck CAPCHAS!!!)

6. Error 1014. I guess from what I've read, that I need to disable Win 10 Defender's Auto Protect. You know -- That thing that protects my PC from malware attacks? WTF Rockstar, did you not catch ANY of this sh*t in testing/QA???

7. Finally get in and start SP intro just to get a feel for the game. Every cut-scene freezes for 5-10 seconds (GRRRRR!!).

8. Running everything at high settings (some ultra and it seems smooth).

9. Crash to desktop with no error.

10. Restart and have to again log into my SC account.

11. No sound at all in the game.

 

Jesus godddamn christ on a pogo stick. What a f*cking mess. f*ck this port. Sticking with the PS4 version.

 

"ENJOY THE 30 FPS lololol" ~ Some PC Jackhole

 

Yeah, I WILL enjoy the 30 FPS, thank you. I'll be playing the f*ck out of RDO while you're playing grab-ass with other PC users on Reddit, tweeking, crashing and cursing for hours on end. I'm sure thats MUCH more fun than actually playing the game.

Considering that the majority of clothing and gunbelts are recycled from Singleplayer, and Arthur/John get to wear them with no issue, then why do they still clip each other when our online characters wear them?

 

Worsted coat on Arthur’s gunbelt shows no issues, but the same coat on the woven gunbelt, which is just a reskinned variant of Arthur’s standard gunbelt, shows clipping issues. 

[CosmicBuffalo]

When the spawn rate of the game is the biggest daily challenge.  Seriously though, leaving daily challenges subject to this fickle and unreliable system has undermined the entirety of online.  Most people will not forgive this.  The camp being subjected to this has to literally be a deal breaker for almost all but the most dedicated players.  Going to complete 7 perfect carcass donations, camp disappears.  The only appropriate reaction would be to shut the game down.  And not play it anymore.

Edited November 10, 2019 by CosmicBuffalo

[John McCabe]

This has become evident to me: the game simply doesn't work with full lobbies. You can't spawn your camps, there are no animals, lag and tracking bugs galore, mission initiation problems, the list goes on and on. The game is unplayable. Can this be that hard to fix, R*?

This and @suicidal_banana comment on the PC version.

 

I was looking forward to the PC version, purely because I was hoping to port block and get solo lobbies...so I could.... only play the frickin game without morons, with a lobby that would actually pitch a camp and spawn animals and would not D/C every 20 mins.

Since R* went super cheapskate and decided not to allow character transfers however, I didn't buy the PC version and kept on playing with my X1X. I feel like I actually dodged a bullet.

 

Since RDRO is a giant frickin mess on console and GTA:O is a huge bag of sh*t on PC, I can only imagine the worst of both worlds being thrown together for RDRO on PC, which it seems is what has happened.

 

While everyone is pumped up 'GTA VI online is gon be good!'

 

I'm here thinking.... GTA VI online is going to be AB-SO-LUTE sh*t!!

 

If this is R*'s new direction.

 

What we have to look forward to:

-Premium currencies rather than everything costing $

-Gated content that is locked behind premium currency and paywalls

-Limited edition/timed content 

-No private lobbies

-Public 24/7 PvP free-roam trash

-Unstable servers that crash constantly

-Private lobby glitches patched within days/weeks, while day one bugs exist after 1 year

-No character transfers

-Rampant cheating/hacking on PC with no ability to avoid it (no private lobbies and methods to make private lobbies patched ASAP!)

-Some ability card bullsh*t most likely

-Freeaim players get lumped into servers with auto-aimbotters

-A support team who is incompetent, inconsistent and incapable of understanding a problem

 

But most of all, we'll get R* who think they are infallible, can do no wrong, never made a game with a bug or a glitch yet, working as intended and their rabid dickhead fanbase.

They are the Logan Paul of gaming developers. Claiming they are 9/10 in their fights which in reality are 0/2

 

R* made great SP games one time, now they make derivative sh*t that takes away a players freedom. And they have never been good at making online games, GTAO and RDRO could be a hundred times better if a competent developer actually took the wheel.

They will NEVER improve because they flat outright refuse to listen to their customers, consumers, and players.

Their 'feedback' and 'support' websites are a total joke. Not once have they actually acted on any god damn feedback or acknowledged what people have been asking for.

 

Here, have another adversarial mode.... that no one wants!

Notice that the Medium Wagon is just a wagon that is loaded only half full? For the money we pay to get a Large Wagon, you'd think it was to get a second horse to handle the weight of a fully loaded cargo box.

[Ronin Ogami]

Offensive cards need a gad damned buff. FOUR damage buffs & TTK is still too long VS EVERYONE with any defensive cards & tonics. F***ING DROP TONICS IN PVP WILL YOU R*????

 

Also, what's with the crap where the game's unmasking you of your bandanna for the last couple of weeks & why no bandanna with ponchos, & switching the PvP shoulder & back mounted weapons?

Yeah, why is this?

 

It wasn't like that, lately. This weekend I've seen so many people like that. Some were just waiting where you reload after the Etta bounty, so you have offensive on still (by the way, it makes NO SENSE that they put on OFFENSIVE for a PRIVATE LOBBY legendary bounty you do; The only reason is to trip you up so you either don't have time to turn it off or forget to.)

 

Then I've seen a couple right by the spawn in spot if you fast travel to Valentine (after doing Etta, then forgetting to turn off Offensive...) That guy killed me once, from a roof or something. Then I spawned back in and loaded up dynamite bow, aimed for about where I thought he was, then it let me auto aim my Bolt rifle with an explosive round for where he ended up Then I got out of there, turning on defensive when I could.

 

--------------------

 

Yep, they had camp sort of fixed, then reamed it again? It was being quite tenacious, almost always giving me a camp (or even having it say "Cripps relocated your camp to a nearby district".)

Now it is back to just not leaving me with a camp, upon log in or after being in a solo mission.

I made the decision, some years ago, to no longer upgrade my computer much for gaming; I saw how far the Xbox 360/Xbox One had come, so decided to mainly game on those. I find it is especially nice for Online, since everyone is playing on what you are playing on. The cost is also insanely cheaper, when you figure the Xbox 360 had a ten year lifespan (there is no way you could have played modern PC games, during the same era, without at least 2-3 PC upgrades/total rebuilds.)

 

My computer is basically a Linux machine (go OpenSuse!), which can still play World of Warcraft and Final Fantasy online.

Has this been tested and posted anywhere online? I only ask because I've looked and can't find anything.

 

As MTU lowering and NAT testing don't work on consoles in RDO, port blocking and IP whitelisting (along with character transfer, I'm not starting again R*), could tempt me to switch to PC for RDO.
