WOW!!! That is ridiculous that you have to do that. R* c'mon man!

I have never seen my horse be wrong. You can easily ride past the danger and the red dot will disappear off your radar. Look using your special vision (forgot what it's called, on Xbox push down on both joysticks simultaneously) you will see the warm air currents or the path of the animal.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Send in bug reports!!!

As stated I have informed them of my issues as well as the results of port forwarding, etc. I agree the issue looks like it is on their end. Although they say disconnects are not a widespread problem.

I should also add that I did not say I agreed with their reasoning. As stated my ping is horrendously worse and I have no issues with disconnects??? Cole also told me that in GTAO they found an issue causing disconnects related to Power Saving mode on Xbox One. It needs to be set to NO power saving. Apparently having 'instant on' set, the Xbox never really shuts down causing excess data stored in cache. Please create tickets if you have issues, (I'm sure y'all have already done so.

Update: I heard from R* support on a phone call yesterday. Very professional conversation with Cole, a Supervisor. He related that they are not seeing a widespread issue with connectivity like I am seeing, except for one particular ISP, which I don't recall the name. That ISP is having issues connecting with their servers, and they are working to fix it. He believes that my disconnects are related to ping not remaining constant. He asked that I monitor ping thru Xbox network settings. I checked ping every 2 minutes and results were, 136, 136, 300, 136, 136, 136, all with no packet loss. I could not stay logged on to server with these pings. Now today I am monitoring ping again while playing Beta. I am getting 326, 545, 697, 711, all with packet loss. I have been playing for 3 hours straight with no issues. Players riding by me, in town with players, with horse following me, and taking a few breaks for over 5 minutes at a time, sometimes in game menu pause, and other times just standing in game. So I think ping is not the issue. I let him know about this site, and told him how many people seem to be having my issue. He said he has heard the complaints from players about losing pelts, etc. So they are aware and seem to be sincere in their efforts to sort out these issues. I have sent them this info in email. Will discuss with R* when they call back.

Too bad it seems R* hides in the shadowy recesses of this forum, and does not step into the light.

Amen! It took me a while for me to cipher the wardrobe saving to horse. Shouldn't be so complicated, and since it is, how bout some documentation?

Uhhh...Lonely People, sadly.

I have completely abandoned saving pelts to my horse. As a matter of fact, I now play on foot exclusively. No telling how much money I have lost due to disappearing pelts after death or even worse disconnecting. Just maddening!!!

Create a bug ticket and keep replying!

On the face of it, I seem to be having more luck than you. I have invited R* Supervisor to call me and discuss my issues. They have asked for country, time zone and best time to call. I will update this thread after the proposed phone call.

Isn't this topic on wrong board? Should be in the Story Board.

Finally, after complaining about Tier 1 response form letters, and asking why, with all their experience hosting online games (GTA) they are unable to troubleshoot this effectively, I'm getting some supervisor emails asking me to continue troubleshooting. Which I will do. I agree that we all need to flood them with disconnect reports. I'm on 28 emails and counting.

Gotta love those Tier 1 email form letters!

Update: After submitting 22 emails back and forth, R* asked for screenshots of my Xbox One settings screens. Xbox does not allow me to take screenshots of settings page as it does in game. (Shouldn't they know that?) So I took photos and submitted them. Now they say my connection speed is too slow! Why did it take 22 emails to ask that question? (All along they were saying my NAT was the problem) I knew as soon as I sent it, they would cop out with that excuse. The error message states the error is on the server!!! Will continue this seemingly useless correspondence.

I have been in constant contact with Rockstar Support, they have provided a list of ports to forward and DNS addresses to use, along with other tips.Now it reoccurs when I get around other players .Before port forwarding I would get an error sometimes every 2 minutes. Completely unplayable. I am surprised that I am having so much trouble with this game and never any issues with other multiplayer games. I really feel the issue is on their end. My ISP is not dropping out.

Is anyone else having these constant disconnects with server error ending in predominantly **006 (see attached screenshot)? I have been going back and forth with Rockstar support, and have forwarded suggested ports to a static ip on my xbox one, with some improvement in service. Still getting disconnected sometimes every 5 minutes or if I'm lucky I have seen 1 hour of gameplay. I have never seen this poor server connection issue while playing other online games, such as players unknown, etc. I am surprised that Rockstar does not have a better handle on this issue, considering all their experience with GTA online. Please share your insights.

Is there such an animal anymore for player that played on first day of beta?

Me too, playing 'where's the camp' sucks.

So you basically log out of free roam online mode, then log back into free roam?

I see alot of y'all talking about this to get away from griefers. How is it done, this changing servers?
