This might work. Try deleting your saved outfits (take a screenshot, so you can remake them). When you store outfits to your horse, do not exceed 5 outfits (same for hats and accessories).

 

Observation: I had something similar, last year. One theory, is that the saddle bags are bugged. I have a variety of saddle bags and the storage varies for some (5 to 7 outfits).  Keeping my outfits at 5; regardless of storage capacity. Solved my outfit issue.

 

 

Thanks again

I deleted all my outfits, 1 horse (40G Turkoman), the 3 'newest' saddles and now have only the 5-outfit-bags on my 6 remaining horses and saddles (all old). 

Up until now, your method worked fine with my wardrobe and I have no more unwanted, unaccsessable outfits on anymore! Can't complain anymore but we have to wait & see.

The 2nd problem however still is a mystery to me! Out of 10 log-ins, 5 times I had a working slot with all items, 3 were just the hoodie (and/or gloves) and twice an empty slot... !?

I still hope it's a bug caused by something lobby specific, like the EE+ not working in some sessions or just another C* fu.k-up witch may be solved over time (or with the next update, if it won't crash the whole game again).

[Rev. Gnash]

@Do not Bogart that

 

I didn't delete any horses or the "new" saddles. I just kept my stored outfits, count at five. Even if the saddle holds seven; I still keep the outfits at five.

 

I change horses alot, I think the switch from 5 to 7 and 7 to 5, might be the cause of the bug. I am also convinced, something is "buggy" with that Carthage ring (could be a coincidence).

Was maybe a bit drastic but I wanted to make sure as I simply don't understand why it all started in the first place. I have an assumption but there won't be any proof. 

And it just can't be that the purchase of a new item, clothes, outfits, a horse or the achievement of a certain level breaks the game.

Ahh well, only time will tell...

I have noticed that if many players just doing random NPC shooting, the weather changes from good to bad.
It's like the weather is a haunting thing...

Man, just impossible to play my Trader tonight.  Here's what's been going on.

 

Left my camp to go hunting.  It's in a nice spot, just outside of Valentine.  Got a deer on my horse, 5 more in the wagon (took 6 hours to get that, there's almost no deer anywhere in the world, it seems).  Driving back to camp, as I cross the rail lines near Bree, the camp moves to the hill near Limpany.  So, I turn around, start driving there.  As I get down to the river, the camp moves to the hill near Flatneck Station.  So I start driving there.  As I start up the hill, I notice the camp isn't there anymore, it's moved to the hill near Limpany.  So, I turn around and start going back to Limpany... but before I even get to the bottom of the hill (ie. about 3 seconds), the camp moves again, this time off to the shore of the lake.  So, I finish going down the hill and swing left around the road to the shore.  As I come down to the beach, the camp moves again, now it's just off the road near the road to Valentine.

 

The camp moves constantly, on average every 3-4 minutes.  Just impossible to even GET there, let alone DO anything.

Really tiresome, it's been doing this for a couple of weeks now.

I think it is the constant merging, plus you are around Valentine so it is kind of popular.

The game also does a weird thing with the merging, where it moves your camp even IF no one else

has a camp that takes yours over.

 

My play experience is very different than yours, in Hennington's Stead (no one seems to like it    )

It is actually a really good area, with constantly spawning Pronghorn instead of deer (though deer do kind of start around Stillwater/ Thieves' Landing.)

Instead of the six hours it took you to fill the Hunting Wagon with 5 deer, you'd fill it with 5 pronghorn in more like six minutes 

 

I still get the constant merging, but the camp often doesn't move or if it does it is fairly nearby. I'm using the persistant posse "large camp", with only

maybe 5 or 6 locations it could probably be in there; not many players use the area.

The game needs to allow you to hide certain random free mode encounters.  Immersion be damned.  The amount of pointless events that trigger timers which prevent other events from happening.   Maybe after you do a certain amount of them like 10, you can hide them.  GTAO has something similar.  Also, there should be a way to turn off certain legendary animal spawns.

I agree. Or fix the bug when a bootlegger spawns it stops you moving. Very annoying I use horse taxi mode a lot.

That and change the priority list so that I'm not always getting moonshine roadblocks, poacher camps or bounty targets nearby. I can't remember the last time I just had something like a roadside rescue or an ambush, or helping a game seeker etc.

I've reported that more times than I can count because I don't see the point of allowing players to have gold cores/rings if the lobbies merge so damn often you can't keep those gold things for more than a couple of minutes, but merging lobbies is the priority for R*, not player experience.

Because the weather that you see anywhere is the same weather in every zone. Can't have dust storms in the snow and can't have snow storms in the dust - so all we get is rain.

Everything we love about the game is in story-mode and that's what R* should focus on. Forget the dream of repeating GTA online's success and just crank out story-mode dlc.

No you've got it all wrong!  Merging lobbies every 4 minutes creates the immersive, deep, wonderful community-world that players crave and love!

I'd even pay for story mode DLC as long as they didn't try adding the fake beard thing in story. I do it with other games.

I've just discovered that if you have a bald haircut, you can't save your outfit in wardrobe. Taking into consideration that outfits delete itself very often (I don't know why) and I have to save them again every moment, I can't have this haircut until R* will fix it. Very polished game

I had to buy the same improved saddlebag (not color) for each horse so outfits quit disappearing.

My character is balder, than a set of nuts on an egg (hold on, that sounds outrageous, forgive me)

 

Never mind my folksy, nonsensical, jibber-jabber. My character is bald and can save outfits... or can he?

Why? I´m so tired of hoping throw hula hopes just to make the game spawn things I need for dailies! Like today when looking for pigs in Valentine I needed to start a Infamous bounty just to get a solo lobby to make them spawn! And before that I wanted to do a roadblock outside my camp in Roanoke and when leaving the camp the game switched session!

 

I´m a old timer and so just to from my youth that a game works out of the box!

just when i thought i met the scummiest players ever. more players outdo it. its like people are in a competition to see who can be the biggest jerk in the game. so earlier i was riding by thieves landing to get to west elizabeth. i saw a group of pink dot players. it was like seven or 8 of them i didint see for sure. so i knew automatically not to go through town. instead i went around it. then when i got back on the main trail leading out of town. i got sniped. and of course it was from the posse of idiots. i respwaned and killed one of them for revenge. i dont even know if it was the same guy but i was pissed. i literally went out of my way to avoid a fight and give them their space. and i still get killed. after i killed that guy i knew that facing a whole posse vs just me would be a massacre. so i ran to sean and waited until they were off my map. and just to add icing on the cake the posse were all high ranks. i truly dont get this scum mentality. they group up and attack random people and gang up against them. i feel like they are compensating for something. they must have a bad life or some problems.

I had an idiot yesterday shoot me as I was grabbing the jewelry box in that small room at the Rhodes parlor. So when I respawned I grabbed my horse and rode out into the street waiting for them as they were hiding out at the big mansion across the way. Lol, they hid there for a few moments, moving from one side to another, before leaving the server. Guess they didn't want an honest gunfight.

 

Heck I'm out in the open and more of a target than they were and they still wouldn't play the game .

During the covid-19 pandemic "everything" is a thrill.

Some people just don't feel sane anymore, and rage it on a game like RDO (instead for ventilating their problems at a psychologist...)

 

Today I had two players which was killing each other repeadetly in my camp, for over an hour...
I just sat and watched them...

Sane behaviour?
I don't think so...

Jeez, what a lot of burnt bodies i throw away from the campfire...

I would have thought that a good PVP gunfight would have been more thrilling, and I was more than eager to oblige them.

 

Being as eager to shoot a player in the back after I came out of the "grab" scene as they were, I thought they wouldn't be able to resist a player sitting out in the open on their horse. I guess they didn't feel as confident as they initially were, and I wonder what changed their mind and forced them to run from the server.  

 

One of the last few times I played I really wasn't in the mood for a PVP fight and was in defensive when a player shot me dead, chased me around Rhodes on horseback on their little Morgan (I had my grey Turkoman, it was hilarious), and finally when I was trying to finish my dinner I watched them try to kill me as my character stood on the porch at the Rhodes station. Lol, so when they didn't go away I started to trash emote them and they finally got enough attention from the law and were forced out of town. Now that was a bored player!

I did Fast Travel to Strawberry (could use Valentine too, but I don't like Valentine.)

 

Ride to that Flatneck Junction railroad tracks below Valentine.

 

5(6?) pigs in the pen; skinned what I needed to for daily, put rest in my Hunting Wagon/with skins.

Those pigs are nearly ALWAYS up, when there is a "Pig Daily", with no need to get in a solo lobby 

There is also sometimes a donkey there, to ride around on.. for no reason.
