alphawolf9089 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 I've been playing the collector missions for a couple days now and I've noticed a bug with the metal detector. There is no sound or flashing and I can not dig up coins. I've even looked up the exact locations of the coins to make sure I'm in the right spot and I'm still not able to dig them up. I've tried restarting my computer and reinstalling red dead , still no luck. This is extremely aggravating because I just bought this game again on pc for $60 and I cant do the missions where I can even make money... Anyone have any suggestions?

Tom Dooley Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Never happened to me yet. What platform are you on? Oh puter. Are you shure you`re using an updated map? https://jeanropke.github.io/RDR2CollectorsMap/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageAdmiral Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 I just started having this problem too. Did it get fixed for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A7X1980 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Mine just started messing up also. I'm rank 402, and 20 on collector. Collector maps won't open and metal detector not working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephlafave Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 I cant even open collector's maps anymore. I'm lvl 20 as well. Metal detector doesnt work and i cant find Madam nazar on the map. If one of my posse goes to her she will show on my map again but i still cant open any collector map. I've put in a ticket for this but all they tell me is to check my drivers. I've also signed into my account on a different computer and still the same results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlavMan Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 So i play PC and i am having this same problem, i cant open coin maps or any map that requires a shovel or metal detector. I have tried everything and nothing works, when i try and look on the Jean ropke map (https://jeanropke.github.io/RDR2CollectorsMap/) and go to a location where a coin,necklace or family heirloom is supposed to be my metal detector does not make any noise or give me the prompt to dig anything up. if i go to the location of something that only requires a shovel and not a metal doctor, i can see the dirt pile but the game does not give me an option to actually dig anything up. Just a side note, i am level 189 i am also level 20 in collector role the error message i get when i try and open any collector maps is as follows "This map is unable to locate any collectibles at this time. you may need to earn a higher collector rank to unlock more map locations" any solutions would be GREATLY appreciated:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Epic games accounts still work. No idea how to solve that. Another bug since last update - long haired men get bald. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageAdmiral Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 I'm level 220. ~2 weeks ago, my metal detector stopped working. Now it doesn't turn on so I cant find any metal collectibles. On top of that, eggs, flowers and digging collectibles aren't spawning either. I can see my posse members seeing the collectibles but I cant see them or interact with them. Sometimes I can see the wild flower spawn but its not interactable and is just greyed out. I am on stadia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if its not here, the metal detector still should make some lights and sounds and it isn't doing anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdiriel Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I play on Xbox only and I am having the same problem, I am level 138- and I am level 20 on collector - when opening maps it tells me I have to be a higher level and my metal detector doesn’t make any sound no lights and no vibration... I can get only surface level collector items cards brushes ... what are we supposed to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VANightingale Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 This started happening to me two weeks ago. Both my level 276 and 111 are broken. Both maxed collector roles. Any collectible that is dirt, eggs, or flowers I cant get. My collector maps dont work either. I bought one of each. Im on Xbox. Gamer tags are VANightingale and Hi Men Hole. Add me, wouldnt mind talking to another person going through it. Ive restarted my Xbox, cleared data, even deleted my profile and redownloaded them. There is No way to fix this. Shovel, metal detector and maps are broken. Even friends cant dig up items for me that happen to be in boxes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amdiriel Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 It’s almost like we have to restart the whole character... I don’t understand it happened a couple weeks ago and I could get coins all was fine but on our last coin it made a weird ting, and hasn’t worked since! I can collect cards and bottles and combs nothing past that and can’t open ANY maps, and talking about flowers I can’t see any flowers either?? Wth!?

GarageAdmiral Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 I checked again. My maps aren't working either. I am getting the same error as others "This map is unable to locate any collectibles at this time. You may need to earn a higher Collector Rank to unlock more map locations". https://stadia.google.com/capture/d5c816dd-86a0-4cb0-8429-790cfc94ef2b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having the Exact same issues as VANightingale on my Xbox. I’ve tried every fix I could think of, but I can’t use the shovel, metal detector, or maps. Even flowers are broken for me, and I can’t pick them. This seems to be a cross-console/PC problem, but I’ll list out details of the issues I’m having: • Running on Xbox One (not the Series) -Can’t open Collector Maps (gives a message saying that my “collector level may not be high enough) [Im lvl 20 in collector] -Cannot pick Wild Flowers -Cannot collect any Shovel/Metal Detector Collectables (Coins, Fossils, Arrowheads, Jewelry, & certain heirlooms) -Cannot collect players or posse members collectibles that they previously dug up (I’ve seen people who can collect from the diggables that come from a box, however this does not work for me) If anyone has any info on what the issue may be, please reach out. I’ll be following this topic for any future updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageAdmiral Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 I reached out to Rockstar support. This is what they said - Quote Related to the collector's map we would like to inform you that we are aware of this issue and we will look into this for you. We appreciate your time and patience while we work on a fix. We cannot provide information about a specific decision period, however, you can follow the updates on Rockstar Newswire: http://rockstargames.com/newswire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kean_1 Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 @Hired Gun Zee Did you see @GarageAdmiral's response above? Apparently, R* is aware of the problem and is working on a solution. That's at least better than them saying they are not aware of it or just blowing folks off. As far as a solution and when that might happen, who knows.

Ministry2 Posted August 25 Share Posted August 25 I play on PS4 and PC and the support for the PC for these collector bugs is really bad. I've been playing the past three months and the metal dectector has only worked once. The other bugs related to this like not being able to open collector maps, not see eggs, not see shovel sites or see any flowers to pick are very frustrating. I've tried multiple sessions, different PCs and still the bug plagues my gaming experience. Maybe Rockstar could rotate the items that are buried to help alleviate the missing hairpins at least.

GarageAdmiral Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I didn't realize how big this problem is. YouTubers are now talking about it. I really hope this gets fixed. I have not played the game at all since my last update. Signed in, bought the quick draw club, sold my collections, completed the quick draw club quickly and logged off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hired Gun Zee Posted September 18 Share Posted September 18 (edited) yup , it's still broken... can't open collector maps. say not high enough level. to use ...issue going on for months Edited September 18 by Hired Gun Zee added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ministry2 Posted September 22 Share Posted September 22 FINALLY a fix for this horrible bug - turns out its deleting local files in profile and settings. Somehow something gets saved in the cloud that bugs your metal dectector, shovel, flowers, maps etc. Getting a new set of files for documents - profile and settings just fixed this for me. PC fix is 3:02 min into the video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarageAdmiral Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 That's great news. I'm glad that most player's problems can be resolved. Unfortunately for people like me on Stadia. We just have to wait for Rockstar to fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
