Offense? .....naw. Just giving some other viewpoints on the subject is all. If you're in to playing the game the way you suggest, more power to you. I didn't take anything said here as trying to be offensive toward you or what you suggest (I certainly didn't intend to). ......sorry you took it that way.

Agreed. I play these games for the enjoyment of them. That's why I don't like to skip portions of the gameplay just to make money, wait / run down the clock to maximize profits, repeat the same missions / actions over and over again, etc. If it's not fun, then it's not fun and I won't play. When it becomes too much of a grind, I move on.

That's been something folks had noticed since the beta. Try submitting a suggestion through the R* Feedback site. Its obvious the effect exists but why they don't use it in the Grizzlies, I don't know.

....and yet you keep playing it.

They cut it early for GTAO too. All I know is that certain people here had complained about it so I'm sure they're happy it's gone. ......but then again, I think some wouldn't be happy regardless.

Yeah, not everyone is having problems and not everyone who is is having the same ones. My suggestion to those that do is to report them to R* Support if none of the recommendations people have been providing help your situation.

I can talk to the admin to see if there is a way to reset your password on your old account. .....or I can close the old account and let you use this new one but I will have to close one or the other either way. Let me know. EDIT: didn't hear back from you. I suspended your old acct and sent you a msg. PM me if you want to try to keep the old one vs. this new one and I'll help you.

.......the OP hasn't been back since their initial post.

Gotcha

Ah... I didn't know they got rid of the app completely.

The blips were taken out of the app quite a while before the PC release. That's when I ended up deleting it. It was pretty much useless to me at that point. I never made any connection to the PC release but yeah, ok. I'm not bent over it.

I didn't say it was neutered due to obsolescence. .....just that it became less eelevant after the changes with the inclusion of the new proximity blip mechanics and changes in that direction. I still found it useful for situational awareness, etc. but it didn't provide me any significant advantage as it once had. .....I used it religiously prior to that. I have no idea why they did it though. I do know that it provided what I felt was an unfair advantage to those who could use it though back in the day. ......didn't stop me though.

Well, before we didn't use to have proximity blips so the app was way more useful since everyone was visible. ......but then we got the proximity restrictions and the app (while I still found a use for it) simply wasn't as relevant. There was no advantage as there once was. The one exception is when fishing. The app used to give users the ability to see others approaching even with proximity limitations but now that's not an option anymore.

That s a good idea. I see certain people getting so frustrated over the game and I just think to myself, why bother? Report the bugs you guys have and take a break. .....well, that's what I do when I run into problems or a lull in interest regarding content, etc. GTAO and RDO are those types of games for me. Ones I play and then put aside for a while for various reasons. I'm usually engaged in several different games depending on which friends(s) I hook up with, if I'm solo, my / our mood, etc.

....well, it's not like common sense was some sort of foreign concept back then and that plays a big part of safety. .....but yeah, I get we're talking movies and games. Just had a knee jerk reaction to that video.

I get that and I understand there are risks professional trick shooters, etc. will take that others simply shouldn't. .....just my initial reaction I had to the video of this dude in his kitchen showing a maneuver that goes against some of the most basic rules in the safe handling of firearms. ......but yeah, I'd leave it to the pros.

As a gun owner and responsible handler of them, that video makes me cringe.

A couple of things...... First, please understand that RDR2.org is not affiliated with R* nor Take Two in any way. My suggestion is to use the in-game reporting feature and / or the R* Support site to report any player you suspect is hacking, cheating, using exploits or simply griefing in the game. Second, please don't use all caps when replying. There's no reason to shout at us and it just makes it more difficult to read your thread (I adjusted your title for you). Seems another mod deleted some other more colorful threads you had tried to create on the subject. Take a breath and relax. Our community is here to help where they can but just remember that we are not the cause of your woes.

Is this on PC or console? If no one else responds with a potential solution, I would suggest contacting R* Support directly and opening a trouble ticket. I would include this screen shot as well. If this is on PC, it could simply be a driver issue or setting. Welcome to the forums by the way.

Hi Local and welcome to the forums. My suggestion would be to contact R* Support and open a trouble ticket with them. There may also be a couple threads around here discussing errors like these as they can be relatively common. Unfortunately. they have been known to be persistent with some.

This forum is for known bugs, glitches, technical issues, etc. It's in the right spot and is already visible to everyone. I pinned it here a long time ago to make sure of that. My suggestion is for folks to continue to complain to R* via their Support page AND their Feedback site. This is something they are still working on and IIRC, there was even a brief mention of it in the last TU patch notes. ......so it is something R* is aware of and seems to be trying to sort out.

That is interesting....... I hope that people are also reporting any instances they encounter with people like this. I would use the in-game feature and / or the Support site as there is a section to report individuals and groups. When R* released the last update they also made a Tweet requesting that people continue to submit feedback through their Feedback site. This is really important to them and I believe they take this stuff to heart. The more people that voice their dissatisfaction with aspects of the game like this, the more likely it will be changed in the future.

I'd like to take this opportunity to remind folks to keep the exchanges civil. I can understand some folks might be frustrated by some aspects of the game, have different opinions, etc., but let's not take it out on each other. Its just a game after all.
