Thank you NF85 for your response. I contacted Rockstar support and their responses have been less than helpful. They suggested I do a cache cleanse and then to "just keep trying and its bound to start working again". (Self healing software) I tried deleting the game and reinstalled it, which did nothing. Since this problem started with the latest update, I suspect that has something to do with it. I know that when they added poker 9 months ago, they had this problem because of regional restrictions. Rockstar had some legal problems they had to sort out and I am curious if that has anything to with my problem now. That is why I raised the question, to see if anyone in this country (USA) is experiencing similar problems.

Poker hasn't worked since a day after 1.18 update. When I approach the table to join a game, the message,"This feature is not available now. Please try again later". The triangle button is also grayed out. (PS4) The game worked fine before updates. I understand that the poker game is not available in some countries but I am in US and have been playing for the past 3 months without any problems whatsoever. I would appreciate it if anyone that happens to stroll by the tables would check for the message on the left hand upper corner of the screen. I just want to know if its a me problem or its happening across the board. Thanks.

It's a minor thing, but since yesterday I get "This feature is not available right now. Come back later" when I approach a poker table. Before the latest updates I never had a problem joining a game. IIRC, it worked after the updates and just stopped yesterday and today. The message feels like "go do something else while we connect some wires". I tried several different poker rooms with the same message. Is it just me or has anyone else experienced this?

Then....Cheers! 🙂

The problem with telling old drunk stories is that the real stories tend not to be that humorous and the authors only illustrate what a$$holes human beings can really be. Either that or they turn into preachy lectures about the evils of drink or some 12 step program cleansing epiphany about a miracle from above. But......................... I worked in a shop for a young guy that was much like myself at the time. We were both high functioning, non violent drunks, but we managed to keep things rolling and still managed to kill 2-3 cases of beer during the work day, 6 days a week. The funny thing about this is the shop was located 1 building down from the local police station and we handled all of their equipment repair and most of the cops personal stuff. One of my duties was to make the daily store runs and drive my boss home every night unless he passed out on my bench for the night. At the time I had Chevy Cavalier Wagon with an electrical problem. Every now and then, the thing would completely die, all of the electrics would quit and then it would restart after waiting for 5 minutes. Since the boss only lived around the corner, I could drive him home and take side streets and alleys to get to my house. His license was revoked and somehow I have never had a driving offense. One night, on the way home, I had a left hand turn on the 5 lane road and the Cavalier decided to its thing. I knew I wasnt going to make it to the side street and tried to get back into the turning lane. I didnt make it and wound up straight ahead in the opposite traffic lane. Traffic was light but there was one car heading directly at us. We didnt have time to get out and took a direct hit, head on, at 45mph. Of coarse we had open beers and of coarse none of us was hurt. The other driver was in the same boat as us. Drunk and driving a brand new lease car. Since none of us were about to make a report, we managed to get both cars back to the shop, located not more than a hundred feet away. We all went back into the shop to calm down and decide what to do. When we came out, the Cavalier was billowing smoke and the back seat was in flames. Seems like we lost track of where our lit cigarettes got tossed. The firestation was located across the street and a block down but we put it out ourselves. I quit drinking a couple of years later and not just because of that story. Mods can feel free to sh!tcan this post and I wont feel slighted in the least. It's pretty mild compared to some of my other tales of drunkedness but when questions get asked, I tend to answer. 🙂

Hunting isn't a big part of my game, but there are definitely more and different animals today. My character lives mostly off of roadkill (small animals my horse steps on and deer crashes) and predator meat that I have to kill anyways. In 8 hrs (game time) I got 1 cougar, a grizzly and 4 wolves. That's enough snacks for a months worth of poker. (poker really drains your cores when you play for 3 days straight.) I dont know if its enough to satisfy the whackers and stackers, but it seems like its back to what it was a couple of months ago. I also think I ran across a new NPC character. (Picture Lady) I believe I p!ssed her off when I pointed my shotgun in her face, because she just up and ran away before I could figure out what her game was. She was new to me and you just cant trust strangers anymore.

I have some in-laws that moved there. They come up here for the holidays and I swear they lose 10 IQ points between every visit. I turn the thermostat down to 62 just to see how long it takes to make their noses run. It helps cure my seasonal depression.

I have lived in Michigan all of my life and I haven't seen the sun in 2 months. Then I think about living in Florida and I suddenly don't feel so bad anymore.

Every freakin' day except for a 5 year break in the 90's.

THE LOVERS COLLECTION MADAM NAZAR IS GETTING INTO THE VALENTINE'S DAY SPIRIT Send her the Chocolate Daisy, Yellow Gold Diamond Ring and the Two of Cups Tarot Card to complete the Lovers Collection and receive a handsome reward in return. So I send her heartfelt gifts of love....and she sends me back $75 cold hard cash? Boy,,,,,,do I ever feel like a cuck.😧

I use the online map primarily to find Madame Nazer. She tends to not show up on the ingame map until 2 hours after I have logged on or not at all. It's a little like the Cripps problem, except she and her wagon are actually in the game but the in- game map wont always show her marker. The only way you can find her is when you hear the wagon music and randomly stumble upon her location by accident. I am pretty sure that is not the way the game is supposed to work.(bug?) My strategy is to buy all of the maps at once when I do find her because I never know when she will turn up again. Since collecting is my main gig, it is a huge PIA when I need to restock the maps. Like Ron, I dont use the online map to find the objects, I much prefer to use Madame Nazer maps or find the things thru exploration. But there is also another bug that screws up gameplay......Many times Nazar maps are just plain wrong. You can go to the places (travel the entire length of the map) and the object isnt where it is clearly marked on her map. Your only choice is to toss the map to get rid of the yellow smudge and go buy another map. (go find Nazar again!) With using the online map I can verify where something is or something isnt and quit wasting my time on wild goose chases because R* cant make their own game work. Some purist may find using the online map is cheating. I have found it extremely useful for troubleshooting my game problems. I figured out early in the game that I wasnt going to get any real help filling out tickets or waiting for updates. So yea....there's that.

The most fun I had with this game was jumping off the map in the story mode and making up my own quests, in the beginning, there were like 2 exit points. When rockstar caught on, they started blocking them. Just as soon as they did, someone would find another one. So it went 5 or 6 times. Once we figured out some of the principles involved, we clammed up and stopped publishing them on forums and youtube. The people that knew the exit points started to share information only in PM's and email. That became yet another facet of our made up games. We were outlaws constantly evading the long arm the Rockstar sheriffs. (In our heads) I've grown up a lot since then. I accepted the error of my ways and have since tried very hard to be a good Red Dead citizen. Since the Online version has been a bit of a disappointment, I sure do have a hankerin' to make one final run to Escalera and jump off the mesh and into the eternal free fall.

Where are you getting the information telling you where it is supposed to be? Madame Nazer maps, the collectors map website, vibrating controller? Where are the places that you cant access? Closed buildings, trees, roof tops? What level of collector are you and do you have the tools that Nazar offers?

Collection cycle change: Collection cycles change every day at 00:00 UTC/GMT which is: 07:00pm EST / 08:00pm EDT (New York, UTC -4) 04:00pm PST / 05:00pm PDT (Los Angeles, UTC -7) (Sorry Mr. B.....didnt mean to step on your post)

I had the problem before the moonshiner role existed. I believe you need to get the trader role before Cripps gives you a letter that opens up Maggies place on the map. Since I never got into moonshining but had the letter from Cripps, the bar shows up as the "yellow fog". I never went near it because I thought it would open a cut scene i didnt want play. As Mr. B said, you can wait for the cycle change (24hrs real time) and find it somewhere else. You wont need the Moonshine role, but you will need the trader role to open the bar.

I blew all the doors open, threw in dynamite and molotov cocktails. I blew out windows and even blasted the dormer windows out with a shotgun to try and get in. I even mounted my horse and ran balls out at the open back door. I believe my horse died for that effort. I crouched a crawled around the house thinking that it was tucked away where I couldnt see it. I even bought a shovel thinking it my be in the grave next to the house. I spent a week until I just gave up and never went back. The problem I had was stopping dead in my tracks at the porches. A few days later I noticed that they added Maggie Fikes place during an update. On my map, that is located at that bar. I assumed they blocked it off the week before but didnt update the bottle location. If you may have shut down your auto update feature, you may be stuck in the same place I was a month ago. Or....its just another bug.

I thought that having one less player on their servers would help ease congestion problems so I quit playing, Hope that helps.

I am with you on that. Bean burritos and Pornhub sounds like a solid plan, Chiefs by 17.

The original Red Dead Redemption had an entirely different way of handling the online part of the game. They kept the stats of the players and put them on daily leaderboards. The original was probably just as buggy, had just as much griefing and just as many problems but I had 10x the fun playing online. The various leaderboards allowed players to find the parts of the game that they may have been better at than others. If you happened to suck at quick draw events but excelled at racing events, you could concentrate on what you liked best. Even if you were ranked 15,297th in the world, there was still the motivation to become 15,296. It also kept online lip service to a minimum. All you had to do is look up the stats and you could tell what was BS and what wasnt. Bragging rights were a good motivator. This version......Ho Hum. If the only reason I have to log on is to do my daily (eat 5 cans of beans) it makes it pretty hard to justify. Sporting a level 5 belt buckle for flower collecting certainly doesnt impress the ladies when I am strutting down the streets of St. Denis. The original online version still exists. (10 years) That makes me think that it was pretty good model for what works. I logged on to it a couple months ago. Granted, it looked dated but everything worked. The servers werent crowded but I did manage to play some poker with a couple of North Korean soldiers and met a nice Inuit lady from Greenland. It was also free to play with no Sony or Xbox fees to play. (Direct Rockstar servers) I was a bit disappointed that there were no gold bars available so I could buy my guy a sweet skull and bones pinky ring but you cant have everything.

I could be the only one in the room that cares about this, but Drew Magary, one of my favorite sports writer ever, asked the same question. Magary was one of the writers over at Deadspin, that walked out and closed down the sports blog at the Onion. The old staff put together a temporary (3 day) blog on another site. Here is the link for anyone that likes his stuff. https://unnamedtemporarysportsblog.com/you-shouldnt-get-the-monday-after-the-super-bowl-off/#more-36

I always had to be at work the Monday following the superbowl. It was always a busy day following the weekend. My choices were: Go to a party and pretend to be an adult. Go to a party and party. Stay home and pretend I enjoy it. I did all three. Being a Detroit Lions fan, the superbowl is just an abstract concept and meant for the joy of others.

Oh boy! 25% off camp dogs. Give me some real camp protection.......Then we'll talk.

My normal routine is to open the map, open the map index and then locations. Her name shows up and I go find her. I noticed over the last month that she wasnt showing up as usual. I didnt really think much about it and would do as C20Dragon suggested, go back to the map and there she would be.........usually, So I wanted to check today, because I needed to stock up on maps and I wanted do a step by step for you about the normal way I find her. I booted up the game, opened the map, opened "Locations" and had the same problem as you have. No Madame Lazer. I had a couple of quick missions to knock off (15 minutes) then I headed over to the Map website where she was supposed to be, and noted that she was above the 2nd "E" in Bluewater Marsh. So I go back to my game map, check locations and checked out the game map. She is not there again. As I am mulling over what was going on I did another mission.(10 minutes) Since I was going to go Lagra, I opened the map to mark where I was headed and there I see the Madames' Marker right where the webmap said it would be. I opened "Locations" and there she was again. I do understand that this is totally useless information to you and no help whatsoever in solving your problem but I wanted to verify that your problem is legit and not something you are doing wrong in case you wanted to send a ticket to Rockstar. Why she doesnt show up until you are well into the game is beyond me. But looking back, it happens quite often.

I think that we ate them all to keep our cores up during that Christmas snowstorm.
