I'll have to check when I'm on tonight.

Earlier this morning there were pink blips everywhere, that was it. Just like it was before. Perhaps they hadn't updated the app until later today? I'll look again myself when I get on this evening. Thanks for providing your experience.

Hi @TimmyJ and welcome to the forums. As Kormath mentioned, this is a question better suited for the Online forum, specifically the Posse Recruitment sub forum. I will move your thread there now. Also feel free to browse the various threads others have created there if you're looking for a group. ......and/or visit the Posse Club page: https://www.rdr2.org/forums/clubs/

You got me on that one. There was what appeared to possibly be an update to the site a few hours ago. Maybe it was removed then? As to why, I don;t really know. Hi @Lonestar, Any ideas on this one?

Apparently left D-Pad on the PS4 will bring it up. The Free Roam menu if I'm not mistaken. ......welcome to the forum btw.

Fyi...

Regarding the Evans Repeater:

Thanks Rage. See you later tonight eh? I'll make sure to have my App on. lol

I gotta see that.

Perhaps also in the spirit of trying to help keep things constructive, I will include the link once again for folks to submit either a trouble ticket and / or their feedback to R* regarding their problems, concerns, etc.: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892

Thanks. I give HuDawg credit for first bringing it up though. I tested it and could confirm.

Glad to hear it.

UPDATE: Please see my responses below. The issue seems as though it is resolved. As some may know, the new player blip mechanic was implemented to help mitigate the griefing issue. The idea was that trolls would not have the advantage of knowing or observing other players in other regions and outside of a relatively short range. However, as it turns out, the RDR2 App (which also shows the entire map) was not updated to mimic the range restrictions in this new update. For those who don't or can't use the App, this puts them at a huge disadvantage as anyone else with the App will know where they are but they will now essentially be blind. I don't think I have to tell you how trolls will use this to their advantage. The reason for this thread is 1) to help make people more aware of this issue. 2) to request that those affected or concerned to please submit a trouble ticket and a feedback report through the following link: https://www.rockstargames.com/reddeadredemption2/online/feedback?step=f2e50892 I submitted a trouble ticket using the Bug/Technical Issue link describing the problem as the new update mechanics not working in the App. I then submitted a response through the Feedback page describing the problem as a gross oversight that the App does not mimic the in-game anti-griefing measure and the obvious potential for exploitation. I will say that I received a canned response from the 1st tier reps when I submitted the trouble ticket. I rated them poorly and used to the link to request a response from a R* representative. We'll see how that goes. Either way, I am sure this will be an issue that many will see as a glaring oversight and wouldn't be surprised to find gaming news outlets reporting on the problem like they did with the missing NPC/wildlife bug. If this is an issue / concern for you, I would encourage and appreciate if you could take the time and submit your feedback / trouble ticket through the link provided. Thanks, Kean

I just did a quick check and as HuDawg mentioned, the app still allows players to see everyone on the map. I would suggest submitting a trouble ticket thru R*. I'm doing that now and I'm having my complaint escalated. They need to either suspend the app for now or get a fix in place ASAP. It's fine for me since I have the app but not everyone does or is able to due to compatibility issues with OS version, etc.

It's part of the Early Access exclusivity they had. It's just a few items either way. I would suggest folks submit trouble tickets ASAP to make R* aware of this issue. This is obviously a big flaw in this new system of theirs. https://support.rockstargames.com/categories/115001624507?redirect_lang=en_us&_ga=2.47086375.1830517651.1551200793-1719606522.1525287356

RED DEAD ONLINE BETA UPDATE OUT NOW Today, the Red Dead Online Beta gets its first big batch of updates including new gameplay, weapons and clothing, additional balancing and a slew of community-requested improvements thanks to responses to our player feedback page. The update is live in-game now - see below for details. Earn Gold Nuggets and XP for completing Daily Challenges, a new series of wide-ranging objectives covering everything from skinning animals to finding treasure, winning feuds and more. Pull up the Player Menu to see your 7 Daily Challenges that will rotate each day, each challenge earns Gold Nuggets and XP and completing all 7 earns you a bonus. Starting next week, compete with rival teams and Posses in the new Free Roam Event Fool’s Gold, where players fight to wear a protective suit of Golden Armor. Take down the current wearer to earn the armor and points, then turn the tables and rack up kills against the opposition. And looking ahead, new game modes will arrive in the Red Dead Online Beta each week. Put your highwayman skills to the test with Target Races as you race other players on horseback to take down targets with speed and accuracy. Proficiency with a bow and arrow will give you an edge, take advantage of weapon and horse stamina pickups where you can, use your limited bullets wisely to remove targets or attack your competition. Take on friends and rivals in new Fishing Challenges. Opt in to a challenge to receive the appropriate equipment and bait, head to the water’s edge and start reeling in the big ones. For added ease, use Eagle Eye to pick a spot full of fish. Remember, you’re trying to catch the highest total weight of fish to win – which could be achieved by hooking several smaller fish or angling for one large catch - so keep everything you reel in. Also coming soon: three new Showdown Modes where players and teams compete to capture and deliver bags, steal loot from each other and survive. Stay tuned for more details around Up in Smoke, Spoils of War and Plunder. With the addition of these new modes also comes the Featured Series blip - visit the Featured Series sign post or select the option from the Quick Join menu to play the latest modes. The Rare Shotgun is a beautifully engraved, faded brass version of the powerful, double-barreled longarm and is available today. Coming soon, be sure to get your hands on the Evans Repeater - a high grade, high capacity rifle that is devastating at medium and long range. Both weapons will be available via the Wheeler, Rawson & Co. Catalogue and from local Gunsmiths. Treat yourself to a range of new Outfits, Boots, Coats, Gloves, Hats, Vests and more. In addition to all the clothing that will be available for purchase at your leisure, keep an eye on the shops and the Catalogue for Limited Time items that will come and go each week. Express yourself with a new set of emotes including new reactions, greets and taunts. Like all Emotes, you can tap once for the standard emote and double tap for a more exaggerated expression. You can find new Emotes in the Wheeler & Rawson Catalogue then add them to your Emote Wheel through the Emote Wheel Management menu. Updated Player Radar and Visibility: We’ve reduced the visibility of players blips over longer distances, so now your location won’t display to other players unless you are nearby – minimizing the likelihood of being targeted across the map by more aggressive competitors. This includes limiting voice chat to near proximity rather than players from across the map. Overly aggressive players will be highlighted from the map with a progressively darkening dot. If your style of play becomes more hostile, your map position (including your Posse members) will become darker and visible from further away. Easier Parley and Feuds: Turn quarrels with other players into timed mini-deathmatches with easier to trigger Feuds, which can be initiated against a rival and their Posse after one kill. Alternately, instigate a temporary truce quicker after one kill with similar updates to the Parley system. Enhanced Law and Bounty System: If you stir up enough trouble to earn a high bounty, you’ll increase the chance that a cadre of NPC Bounty Hunters will be out to get you. The higher the bounty gets, the more persistent your pursuers will become… so watch out! Please keep the feedback coming as these new features arrive each week. In addition to new content, stay tuned for new weekly bonuses such as this week’s care package to help you tackle Daily Challenges and your other ongoing adventures across the five states. Head into the Red Dead Online Beta any time before Tuesday March 5th to receive a complimentary delivery of goods at your Camp’s Lockbox or at the Post Office consisting of: 2x Potent Snake Oil 2x Potent Bitters 2x Potent Miracle Tonic 2x Horse Reviver 2x Potent Horse Stimulant 8x Poison Arrows 10x Explosive Slug Starting today, PlayStation 4 players will have early access to the Jawbone Knife, a unique melee weapon with a handle artfully carved from the remains of a slain animal’s jaw, as well as a range of new clothing options and three new emotes. In the coming weeks, PlayStation 4 players will get the Special Series that launches them directly into the latest early access mode starting with Open Target Races where you compete in an open space to take out the most targets on horseback. Stay tuned each week for new content, bonuses, limited time clothing and more coming in and out of the Red Dead Online Beta and keep an eye out for more updates as we continue improving and growing the world of Red Dead Online.

Looks like the update is now available according to some news sources on Twitter.

FYI..... Looks like the update is available now on both XB an PS.

I think he just means the update.

I mentioned it before but the rep I spoke to said they were rolling back patches and making preparations for the update tomorrow. It would stand to reason that folks are going to see old issue reappear and new ones occur during this period. I never had disconnects before but do now although not as bad as some others.

Moving this to the general forum .... There is no published time that I know of. Only the date which is 2/26.
