Um.... what? You find being robbed as harrassment? The long distance delivery is LITERALLY DESIGNED to give people a chance to rob you, the risk you run for trying to make the most money. Its not harrassment, its not griefing, its LITERALLY what was intended by the developers. If you dont like big meanieheads taking all of your goodies, perhaps you should go play Flower Picking Simulator or something. This game is BUILT on the concept of being an outlaw. There is zero room for debate there, it is FACT. What you do to glitch into a solo lobby, is exactly that. A glitch and a cheat. You are cheating other players out of the opportunity to rob you, and you are deliberately exploiting loopholes to get yourself into your own server. You also WAY exaggerate the pvp aspect. It is not CONSTANT PVP as you claim. Ive been killed twice in 100+ hours in online by people i didnt start crap with first. Know what i did? I fought back and had fun, i didnt whine that someone pushed me down and stole my icecream. Have fun in your glitched, empty worlds, showing that AI who is boss. Jeez, dude.

To anyone who has issue with locked (grayed out) resolution settings in Vulkan this video was helpfull for me : Hope this helps you too!

I was making a Trader local delivery last night, from Heartlands down to the one low down on the shoreline, down the grassy slope. I had just got to the point where I could hear gunfire (bandits were attacking the dropoff), when another player appeared and lasso'd me off my wagon (despite being local apparently people can still do that). He hogtied me, then shot me. No 'press charges' or 'parlay' buttons. I respawned, raced back to the wagon, could see him standing by it, he shot my hat off (thank you, Never Without One), I returned fire and shot him dead (he was lowish level, 27 IIRC, I had a Lichfield Repeater with high velocity ammo equipped), ordinarily I'd leave the wagon there to deal with the bandits but as this dude is out there I leap on and race it to the dropoff, but have to clear the bandits/protect the recipients to get my money. So I equip twin LeMats and get stuck in, then suddenly I'm dead again - dude is sniping me from a ridge with a Rolling Block. I respawn, but have to continue the fight from behind cover to protect against the griefer (I don't think he can get my goods on a local run so I'm just sport at this point). Fortunately I win, get my $500 (phew) and it's all okay. But to be clear - I never got either press charges or parlay. I'd have used both. The system doesn't work, so protection is an illusion. We're on our own, either solo or posse. It's like the Wild West out there.

I think the different lobby options are a ways off, if they ever come. As it is, Rockstar is being (painfully) slow with what they add to the game... I think this is deliberate (if frustrating). I think maybe they learned some lessons from their efforts in GTA and want to be a little more careful and deliberate in how they shape and grow RDR. This can be a good thing in the long game, if annoying in the short term (between updates). I can be patient for the content updates myself if it means in two years time I’m not being dive bombed by flying, dynamite shitting unicorns while trying to make my delivery (or maybe herding my cattle to the market?) because of poorly thought out, hastily added and unbalancing content... But this is all speculation on my part based on observations so far and nothing else...

Personally, I have yet to even turn on defensive mode. I frequently run long deliveries solo. I act like a drunken eccentric ass when I’m in populated towns. I wander i to people’s camps, help myself to beer and stretch out by the fire while they’re there without a word of explanation. I don’t go out of my way to avoid anyone, whatever colour their dot is. Despite going out of my to NOT take measures to avoid problems, I very rarely get shot at. It’s been like this ever since the proximity blip update. Before that, it was much more common, it still far from what I’d call a problem. Just the odd roaming group of clowns chasing down the nearest blip and griefing.

River boat gambling anyone? Pretty much the last few posts describe the plot of Maverick.

Exactly. All these childish "extras" simply ruins the games autencity, makes it into a kind of western-on-acids game for psycopats. Just like rockstar intended

...from start to finish. Getting ready for a 2nd go. Thank you Rockstar, it was well worth it. And that stutter fix yesterday, that'll make my 2nd run even better. 😍

Cant put skinned animals in the cart dont skin them

I had this issue as well. Check your map for any yellow discovery points. I realized I still had items that I had to collect from what I believe was the collector role or something similar along those lines. Once that was completed, they disappeared and then I was able to open a treasure map from my satchel.

The CPU and GPU are fine thats not the problem. Since you are already running windows 7 with an active license i think this would be be your best option. since you will be transferring your Serial key to windows 10. The music is annoying but great video! I would suggest back ups or important files before installing.. do a clean install the system will run better!

I probably wouldn't because of what @The_Liquor said about people being sneaky but for me, it depend on how close they were to us, etc. I will say that I always found it stupid that you didn't have the radar available while fishing. Back when the app still worked for blips, I would use that instead.

For defending.... Posse up. This can't be stressed enough for long deliveries. Few things in this game are more beneficial than playing with a posse of friends. If you're alone, consider local deliveries instead or accept the fact that there's a good chance you will never make it to your destination. .....more reward = more risk. Simple as that.

No problem and no offense taken. I've already been over most of what you had said with Kean way back when. Bottom line, the two "sides" are here and will not go away. When the subject of griefing gets brought up, the discussion is supposed to take place, as far as I'm concerned. And, though I play much less now, as long as I can glitch the game, I'll play it.

Have you tried explaining to your wife that it's a game and they literally feel nothing and she needs to learn to tell the difference it's not as if your actually taking your wife hunting hopefully when i get married I'll marry a woman who is up for hunting with me but that's besides the point all the advice I can give you for the game is to aim at it's head thankfully it's a game so it won't move around a little after you've shot it so Good luck mate

I know. It's the shocking truth at the centre of this game. You have been warned! I thought that, too. Almost a very expensive lesson - it does mean that local deliveries aren't as radically safer than distant deliveries as I had thought. Indeed, I'd almost rather lose to the distant opponents; at least they stand to gain and are engaged in actual gameplay. This dude just wanted to ruin my day. Given I had no horse with me so limited weaponry (repeater and two LeMats), he nearly managed it! Agreed. By the time I had seen off the bandits and got my horse back the coward had skipped town. Guess he realised that now that I had access to rifles, too, he would be up against someone who could shoot back and didn't fancy his chances. It's like the Wild West out there! Guy must have been fuming. He'll get over it once he realises that the roles give guaranteed riches even with the odd moment like that.

I read somewhere that they had glitched it up out in the online menu screen.

@SimonTemplar 😮I always thought you were put in "semi-transparent" mode when doing a local delivery so players couldn't mess with you even if they tried? That sucks. People pulling this sort of sh*t should be forced to stay on the server until you say you are done with any retribution you see fit!

Join it from the showdown series on the map screen, OR go to the series fast travel points physically with your character in free roam and join it.

Yea...... tell me about it He was stupid enough to try to shoot him from few meters distance.......

Wait, what... Really?! 😅

Since every patch resets or change my very fine tuned graphical settings it's a pain in the butt to change back all the time, but this table have proven to help a bit finding the sweet spot for me. Now able to run mostly 45-55 FPS in 4K. All setting on Ultra except from the the ones in the table with the highest % change, those I've set to 1 step under the highest possible. Also AA is TAA Medium with sharpening maxed and added GeForce Experience Sharpening at 65%. Motion Blur OFF (of course). Tested first by setting everything to LOW, then each setting upped to the MAX and tested one by one to see the difference in % of FPS. Settings with a * requires a restart.

It will likely be an issue of your posse being filled or your friend being part of too many. If you know for certain that this is not the case, then it can be an issue with the game and that is worth reporting to Rockstar.

Do you also like powerful rings that you call "my precious"? haha Been so long since I watched the LotR movies. I might do it over Christmas vacation.

I'll listen to this in a bit. I like the idea of doing this but like The_Liquor mentioned, radio broadcasts doesn't fit the timeline. Either way, still worth it if you are having fun and others enjoy it.

You might be able to keep this from happening using your protection software by blocking it but there is a good chance that Rockstar doesn't allow you to play the game until it is updated. I know that is the case on Origin and other launchers.

kind of a neat idea... only it’s kind of the completely wrong era to be listening to radio broadcasts...

To be honest, I never thought griefing was as bad as some made it out to be in the beginning. .....IF you followed the advice many of us were gladly providing, using the app, etc. .....but yeah, even much less so now especially given the options and restrictions / punishments R* has levied against trolls. IMO, there are far less excuses to be griefed but again, folks still need to use some common sense, situational awareness, some basic tactics and the tools made available by R* to help mitigate the problem.

I added you but I am actually rarely on at those times. Even on weekends it’s still the late night

Might need to chop off the last half of another thread and add it onto here... LOL

Me 2 man. R* doesn't seem to care what players want or need. And they are tooooo slow with updates. The summer update ended up being the fall update. And the game is too dumbed down and too simplistic to actually provide any sort long term challenge. I don't mind waiting for updates. But as long as this game allows players to be lazer beam lock on cowboys with magical super powers, everything just gets stale instantly. For me, its still lack of proper free aim lobbies that ruins this game. R* will go out of their way to keep adding stupid pink clothing to the game,but refuse to add free aim. R* goes out their way to instantly patch a glitch that allowed players to keep their delivery run stock. ONE WEEK after the update. But then, sit on their stupid assess when it comes to camps not spawning.

An exception to the rule that "no good deed goes unpunished". It makes people's heads explode in RDO if you do something nice - simply does not compute.

Nevermind....restart solved the problem. To be fair though generally speaking you don't have to restart your PC after a game update....

Well, the more money you have, the more ammo you can buy, the better horses you can buy, the better your ability cards can be, the more tonics your can have... Bottom line, the more advantage you hold over other players wether or not you personally choose to use it or not... And yes, I do find all sorts of glitching distasteful. The main reason I’ve given up on GTA V online is because I found the only way to get ahead in its current state (from a low level and broke) is to cheat your way into a solo Lobby to run your businesses. I flat out refuse to play that way and would much rather not play at all.

Sorry, the glitching solo lobbies isn’t even the biggest gripe I have with your stance... But it’s continually calling the legitimate conflict built into the game griefing and harassment. If you don’t want to take the risk, take the smaller reward. If you do take the risk and someone gets you, they’re not out just to harass you or grief. I’m not saying there isn’t griefing in the game, because there is. And yes, your cheating does have an effect on others. It’s giving you an unfair advantage in receiving larger rewards without taking the risks in the game... Kind of like stealing money from the Monopoly bank to cover rent because you feel like the other players are harassing you when you land on Boardwalk and are asked to pay up.... Not to mention, if people keep exploiting glitches, developers spend extra time trying to address glitches and less time developing new content...

You are robbing people of the opportunity that they extended to you when making their deliveries the right way. It is cheating the system and against the spirit of the game.

Did you shoot back and hit them? I've noticed that if I'm riding along and, bam, I'm down from a headshot, I get the option to press charges. But if there's a bit of a fight beforehand and I cause damage to them before I'm killed, I don't get the option. Could be wrong. Just what I've noticed.

100% bud. They are making it so strenuous just to play , jumping through all these hoops just to have a little fun. We haven't started grieving yet but with this new glitch grieves are running , defensive mode grieves we are getting lots of action. I thought if you shot someone in defensive it brought you out of it ?? Well it's not and they are taking full advantage. We don't get too bent over it and have found a few counters. All in fun I recon but yea they need to get to stepping with these new roles.

Yeah show me some of the best pictures you have taken and not pictures of characters but nature and other stuff you can send links to the pictures on Socialclub or just set it in here in a post I start so i will post some of the pictures here and i would also be very happy if some of you maybe would give them a like or a comment on Socialclub where my name is the same as here or click on the link here to get there https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/Miss_WarHorse/

Perhaps not the most beautiful of photos, but the most historic. This is the entrance to the fortress in El Presidio, south of the San Luis River, while it was under construction.

Well, as a hunter and trapped in real life... I can’t say I’ve shot very many animals that hang on as long as they do in the game... Not very realistic. (I shot a deer just this past Monday... It bolted about 30 yards and was as dead as dead gets by the time I racked a second round into my old Enfield and walked over to it). But I suppose growing up rural and actually hunting for food or turning live animals into packaged meat for consumers I l’ve just seen more of it than most.

We want Private servers. Thank you.

"Clearing path" 😂😂 Yes. Exactly. don't understand what they are thinking. i was fishing alone & suddenly get killed from this group. I respawn & pull out my dynamite arrow & shoot the wagon. Then realized they were delivering wagon mission. Well, that is what they get for messing up for no reason.

Your posse might be full & need to remove some players. Or your friend might be apart of too many posses. Or it’s a bug.

I think there is a line between legitimate conflict and griefing... where exactly that line is I suppose is a little subjective, but in my mind, killing someone fishing (for example) for absolutely no reason doesn’t make you an old west outlaw, just an annoying psychopath. However, trying to steal my delivery? Or steal my 3* cougar? Maybe take my bounty (if they ever fix that system)... all legitimate conflict and desired...

Well damn, I honestly thought it was a GF picture, it was a lot smaller than this and I know it was listed as such. Amazing how similar they look when there is darkness around them.... and when I am not wearing my glasses... *hangs head in shame*

When I was camped near Rhodes I spent a day hog tying people from the Manor and throwing them on my camp fire... I had quite the pile going....

I’ve met him three times. The first time I gave him something, the next I shot him and dumped him in the river I was camped next to, the last time I tied him up and tossed him off of a cliff......so my experiment of killing him meant nothing as he is a stubborn son of a gun. He actually kind of creeps me out. I like the guy stealing beer more. 😀

You fed him uncooked meat? Way to start the Zombie Apocalypse...
