Not what we know of but i think the steam chart is quite representative for every version of RDO! Most of players on my friendlist on console have either stopped playing or cut their time in half.

Sounds about right. 

 

I'm in a few diffrent RDO groups atm and out of around 100 people, maybe 8 or 9 of them play everyday, myself included.

not really next DLC related...but is it just me, or is it rather difficult to get low honor?

i mean...iirc there are so few things that give you bad honor in freeroam, while almost everything gives you good honor.

like you can´t even hunt without getting good honor.

i want to complete the low honor missions, but when i take a break, it´s like not even a day later i have more than enough high honor again.

i shot up rhodes 3 times already to get low honor, and all 3 times it went back to high honor in less than a day

It is difficult to maintain low honor. R* envisioned the honor system as a source of income. You have to spend gold at the crazy old man's honor shop.

 

There are no real advantages for having high or low honor. If you have low honor you can do the bank job in Saint Denis. 

 

I murdered half a town to decrease my honor. Feed your horse and do some bounties and it is max again.

I'm glad the same firewall rules used for GTAO on PC now work on RDO.

wait what?!

they work?
i tried that old GTAO solo public lobby tool that sets the firewall rule.

and when i set it to block, it works in GTAO but RDO just gives me a connection error.

do you have a different setting?

How long ago did you try it? They changed something about how their matchmaking works in January.

Now that you've linked to it I'm sure R* will find a way to prevent it from working.

nah.

that tool was public knowledge since 2015 already.

nothing will happen.

but still, i wonder why it doesn´t work in RDO

[rollschuh2282]

nice.

i managed to level up all 6 levels.

leveled up from level 158 to 164.

and got my 150$ offer bc of that

went faster than i thought.

for me it was just completion sake.

Yesterday in a span of 15 minutes I had to reboot the game 3 times, because I got stuck on a black screen trying to spawn my wilderness camp twice and the 3rd reboot was when I got stuck loading into a session.

I get stuck trying to spawn my wilderness camp and while loading into a session almost every day.

The amount of times I have to reboot the game to fix a bug on a daily basis is absurd.

Not just while getting stuck loading, but also when the drank own strong moonshine daily doesn't work, or I a resupply mission never starts which softlocks me.

Sometimes I can't fast travel for whatever reason.

Some bugs with trying to collect collectibles also need a reboot.

 

I know GTAO is also a very broken game but I rarely have to reboot the game to fix something.

 

It's hard to enjoy the game when you have to reboot it so often on a daily basis.

[STNeish]

I don't get disconnected much, but my camp keeps moving around, roughly every 2 minutes.  It even transformed into someone else's camp while I was IN it.  I was interacting with my mailbox, collecting ammo, turned to interact with Cripps at the butcher's table... and it wasn't my Cripps.

[No Homing]

Did they slow down the spawns of poachers during the Protect LA Event? Sometimes I just sit there for 30 seconds waiting for something to spawn.

I even ran out of time twice! 

I know sometimes half the players are too busy lassoing each other, but it shouldn't take more than a handful of players to protect the LA and kill everything.

The one with the gators and bears only has to travel the distance of like 2 stone throws but everytime it takes almost the entire 20 minutes because the spawns are so damn slow.

I swear, it used to be really intense, like Trade Route, with lots of enemies being throw at you all the time.

Now it's just really boring and filled with trolls too.

Atleast the XP payout is great this week.

They've been slow for me as well.    But like you said, the longer it takes, the bigger the payout will be.  So I can't complain.

Don´t forget that the LA we are supposed to protect just get stuck sometimes too!

Anyone else have an issue when spawning in to camp from menu that it either somewhere else or not spawned in at all!

My horses are my Achilles heel. Anymore I only do low honor if I have free vouchers because it is too difficult to keep my bad guy status, my horse has a little dirt on her fetlocks or a sliver of health taken away I just automatically groom or feed her. And I pat her all of the time.

I just cannot stop.

[Lemoyne outlaw]

okay so im a little pissed. i was just in a couple races. the first one i came in second. and the other one i came in 7th. then all of a sudden on the lobby for the next race. everyone is voting to kick me. but why? i did not cheat or do any mods. and i didint even do good on the last race. so why is everyone so obsessed about getting rid of me? it makes no sense. but when im in a lobby with super good or op players. of course nobody kicks them. and even worse nobody kicks a griefer. so i have no idea why people did this. i just left when there was one vote left. because i didint want to give them the satisfaction of kicking me. even though it still got me out of there. i know people hate me in real life but even in a video game where people dont know me hate me. its just another thing that makes me hate the rdo community.

You aren't the only one, I know a few people that have this happen to them often in the showdowns. And it happened to my daughter as well. Probably had nothing to do with anything you did, just some rotten minded players probably making stuff up and getting the others to go along with their game.

 

We aren't all jerks, I'm a pretty person cool person if I do say so myself.

Yeah, some people just vote to kick for no reason.

Also, don't just leave (Lemoyne Outlaw) if only one vote is left; 

it tends to be human nature that other people will support it if someone does

a vote kick but that is not always the case. The other people don't even know why

the original person voted to kick, but they just figure "must have a reason?"

 

I've only voted to kick out of a race when the daily was "top 3 in a race." 

The SAME character got first place, the 3 races in a ROW that some of us were in;

so they already got their daily but were kind of reaming the rest of us. So I agreed

to that vote kick   It was just going to take too long to get the daily, with that 

person always taking up one of the "top 3" spots.

Yes, been having that happen a LOT again lately (mostly with it just moving.)

 

It isn't even just "spawning in", the camp will even move when I'm out hunting or something and get back to it

and find it moved. This goes on for me in Hennington's Stead, where no one else is even camped.

Ha, not had that happen but yes it moves around for no reason. I remember it doing that exact thing you mention a lot in the past, 

where a player would suddenly be in the camp I was in and they were mad because it was their camp.

R* has really been hopping on fixing issues haven't they? That's one of those things I've sent to tech support (and I use that term very loosely) and sent feedback on numerous times.

Heard they fixed a bug in Races a couple of weeks back.  From my experience, a very small portion of RDO players play Races on a regular basis. Most people probably only race when it’s for a daily.            Apparently to R* that’s more important to fix instead of fixing the bug where you get stuck in a loading screen when trying to sell moonshine (that bug is still there after 1,5 years)

This game, like the Sumerians, is dead.

That's fair, and it's actually unfair for the other player to continue to race when they are constantly winning during a challenge like that. I'd get my daily and move on so everyone else had the opportunity.

Cheaters have ruined THREE of my last sessions and I'm not happy about it.

It's the first time this has happened. Are cheaters gettin more common than before?

On the PC? It has probably reached maximum density, they are also finally

banning people doing it (supposedly?)

PC. I had cheater-free lobbies after that incident.

 

It used to be very rare before. At least from my experience.

Last time I heard of any major ban was early last year and it was effective for about a month or two. Someone mentioned they did it again but I haven't been able to find any information about any recent ban.

After a month and a half away from the game, I decide to give the hardcore modes a try since I like off radar, once I got into one, took a knife, and ran with the team towards the opponents, I was rdy to backstab the first one, but this awesome beautiful system of R*, the game treats me as I was still on Defensive Mode, and I am unable to melee... trying to hit my enemy, but only stood there like an idiot, he turns to me and boom!  dead!     Log off.    Good way to keep ppl playing this garbage, thanks R*.

It is a bug that should not be there! When doing free mode event the game kick out of defensive but not in showdowns!
