CosmoKramer Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Real exciting stuff R*. Shame the game is now even more broken than it was before. Spawn into camp but it’s not my camp and is the other side of the world than I should be. New moonshiner event pops up but prevents me from collecting my 3rd heirloom as I’m forced to fast travel to the shack. Event makes me ride all the way to Valentine and when I get there moonshine buyer cannot be freed from revenue agent’s horse so I have to wait for that event to timeout before I can do anything else. And then strong moonshine that was in production totally vanishes. Still no animals of course (3 daily challenges today around killing animals 😂). Complete waste of time, I’m done with the game until I hear it’s fixed. It just failed to even load into story mode. 1
Kean_1 Posted December 23, 2019 Author Posted December 23, 2019 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.
James Hickok_1837 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Sad but true. I was having hard time to set the camp. All day disconnects. Cuoldnt start up moonshine delivery mission - problems , problems. I think ill take a break as well coz its very frustrating to play like this. 1

Did you empty your cache? That helps sometimes.
Herta47 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 It's snowing in Bayou and temperature is 17 Celcius?????
NF85 Posted December 25, 2019 Posted December 25, 2019 it can spike in very small areas in that region. i was on a road and -4, crossed a bride and on the bridge it jumped up to +12, then back down to 0 when i was on the other side of the bridge.
PepinoGrande Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 Hard to see, I have to refer to the map way more often to see where I am, fewer animals and the ones you do see are hard to hit because of the snow. Not fun!
The_Liquor Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 It’s not that bad... At least we don’t have to shovel it... 1
Mr. Bohannon Posted December 26, 2019 Posted December 26, 2019 I really like the winter weather dynamic..... adds a lot to the game and breaks up the norm ..... shows exactly what they are capable of doing .... I hope they start changing the seasons on the game with the seasons of the year in real life ....

Not fun! The snow the snow has nothing to do with fewer animals- it’s a bug from the moonshiner update .....I’ve had a couple different solo lobbies and the animals are everywhere
HIGHHorse Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 I missed out on everything. I ended up being caught up with family stuff and by the time I got home, I was just too tired to hop on and play. Kind of bummed out.
DiamondDave Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 I was happy with what they gave out this year. Loved the blizzard as well. It was a nice touch. My buddy who is still very much into GTA V said they had a nice snow going on there as well. 2
Mr. Bohannon Posted December 27, 2019 Posted December 27, 2019 Just sucks they only kept the snow for a week ... 1

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. 2 1
Archlight71 Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I really liked the snow. But I do have a question about it. We just had what, a week with snow everywhere, snow falling all the time. But when I go into the Grizzlies, still, it doesn't snow.......it rains. The temperature is anywhere from 7 to 15 and it rains. Couldn't Rockstar fix that?

Its obvious the effect exists but why they don't use it in the Grizzlies, I don't know.
mizTik Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I wish there was a way for them to have it like they did but a week prior and a week after the fact, it still snows but just not as frequent. I think that is what was making people mad. It snowed too much too often.
Kean_1 Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 It gets old kinda quick when it extends for as long as it did in GTAO. I'll wager folks made them aware of that this time last year and this was their response.

NF85 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 And the global snow is back, prolly for a few days only. 3

Didn't see anything mentioned officially for RDO yet but they did the same thing in GTAO: The rare Southern San Andreas snowfall phenomenon may have subsided, but forecasters do expect a return just in time to say goodbye to 2019.
MrPicard Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 I'm really enjoying the snow, I wish they'd bring it back for a limited time in January and February. The one thing I DON'T enjoy is that herbs are incredibly difficult to spot in the snow in Eagle Eye.
NF85 Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 try looking for white tarot cards when there is snow....... if you like the snow, why not just make regular trips to grizzlies west?

I like just having the world looking a little different for a while. Makes it seem a little more alive versus frozen/static. Also Christmas movies wouldn't always have snow in them if it didn't trigger something in people. Edited January 1, 2020 by Vimes Typo 2
buttlint Posted January 1, 2020 Posted January 1, 2020 As a person that lives in a cold climate region, I say screw this snow worship. Without snot-sickles, it's just not real. I'm taking the first boat to Guarma. 1
redscrew Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 Got snow in both GTA V and RDR2 yesterday and earlier today. I haven't been on either since noon so not sure if it is gone or not. If I am not too tired in a bit, I will hope on. Honestly, I would have rather had a fireworks show at midnight than to have the snow come back.
McLawDiz Posted January 2, 2020 Posted January 2, 2020 The snow was cool.. really cool.. But at this time, i wish they would fix the game, and make the snow continue up north.. instead of the whole map.. THAT would make sence.. RIght now the game feels just as empty, as it did in beta.. No animals, bugs, cheaters, no encounters.. everything is really broken right now. I hope they will add a massive patch tomorrow, or atleast early next week.. Cause right now, its pretty unplayable/unstable
