I agree, PC is now somewhere it was never intended to be. However, like with the days of Grid, fantastic award winning game which did not finacially reflect expected paydays so they tried everything to turn it around but it never happened.

I can remember something about devs waiting for gfx card makers to catch up and vice versa. Then there was memory and bandwidth availability. It is very easy for ambition to trip over development and availability states. Many brilliant ideas have had to pare down ambition to fit reality but our friend, EjectedCasings, is right about one thing . . . it is only my opinion, or rather, educated opinion. No idea if for the very high price there will be a payout based on success like we got for the first Project Cars? Also, Founder member of Warframe which is a highly successful game which over seven years has taken over £1000 from me. This is a free game with no online costs so I feel that periodical contributions is the way forward for these games with those who have little money getting the benefit of the whole procedure thanks to those who can afford it. The idea of Star Citizen has always been appealing but over the years I have read some detailed reports from people who love the concept but still feel that the science has some way to go to catch up. It wasn't just the science but also the economics. The idea of Star Citizen will easily play on one of my computers but for the majority it will not play at the very high settings required to fully appreciate the game for most players on PC. I have heard all of this about Star Citizen years ago and it will probably be exactly the same for years to come. Either that or as many predict; too expensive to buy, to run online, and needing top end computing only.

Hahahaha . . . reminds me of buying 'penny' shares around the turn of the century. Lovely concept but it's not yet it's time . . . too big, too ambitious. It has tried for so long to realise its potential . . . and failed.

Bingo! Still haven't a clue what happened - nor do Rockstar - but the poker is back for me . . .happy days

Now, when I approach a poker table in RDR2 Online for PC I get this message: "This feature is not available now. Please come back later." I have twice reinstalled my game taking 20 hours each time for a clean install but no joy. Ran " verify files " four times. Earlier, I was in the saloon in Blackwater and another human player came in and was walking around the table for about five minutes before leaving. It was obvious that he, too, couldn't join the game. I have been chatting with Rockstar support but all I get from them is fobbed off as it's obvious they haven't a clue. So, anyone else with this problem? any suggestions?

Ah! thanks, I hadn't checked out the rest of the site. I'll take your advice.

Just stood in the Blackwater saloon as two other human players came in and could only walk around the poker table. Rockstar are only making excuses in their replies but with the falloff of human players in the towns it is obvious that the poker table is broken for the PC players.

Well, RDR2 wasn't ported to PC hence the best version of the game and that is what I had been waiting for as my rig can max out the game and it certainly is possibly the best looking game available today.

Thanks for your input. I verified all files which triggered some other updates but no joy so am reinstalling again. Sometimes it's just some program lines which need straightening, so to speak, so after verifying another install might do it? Been around computers long enough to know that these things are usually something stupid and I'm sure the big W10 patch is behind this problem.

I got a response which opened with: " We understand your concern that you are unable to play Casino games in GTAO ". Duh, it was sent to RDR2 support and had that heading plastered across the top of the page, so, like I said.

GTA V, sorted. MS update caused the problem. Sending a ticket to Rockstar is a waste of time as it is all computerized. They don't do support tickets like other companies where a real person responds.

Maybe it is just for PC. Eveything else in the game is working just fine so it is a bit of a mystery. In TDU2 Casino I was world number one in the cash game for the first about 18 months to two years and then the cheats cracked it so I left. I do well in RDR2 poker but Rockstar have very sensibly made it limited Hold'em with the balance about right where money is concerned but when you know what you are doing it isn't too hard to take advantage of those not educated in poker play. So, if you frequently don't play every hand but tend to get winners when you do make a move and quickly have a large stack in front of you maybe someone has reported me as a cheat and Rockstar have blocked me. After all they do tend to prefer quick radical measures over fairness. Not only don't I cheat but wouldn't know, nor care to know, how to cheat in any game . . . what's the point in gaming if you cheat? I can only imagine that for so many losers even the delusion of an undeserved leading position will do over achieving nothing. I've sorted getting online in GTA V but problem still there in Poker. The problems started after the last big W10 patch so went into msconfig/services and disabled MS services and I was back online in GTA V. I put it down to the update causing some sort of conflict. The problem is/was connected to the Rockstar game library service but I can't figure out exactly what.

Which country would that be? if I may be so bold.

There is a small clock icon over the places where poker can be played and I did wonder if it represented some sort of work being done on the feature?

When I go to the map and click on any place which has poker the poker icon comes up. When I go close to the table I get this message: " This feature is not available now. Please come back later." Are you able to play poker?
