Glitch with the Eagle Eye

[★ Bartes ★]

Cant use it with the sprint after some time spend in a game anyone have the same problem?

Hello.
Yes, I have the same problem. I've noticed this happens 100% after being killed by a player or finishing some story missions. Have you noticed when exactly this happens?
I've read in patchnotes that Rockstar wrote they've fixed the problem, well obviously not, pls report it in their support bug-tracker. If the problem gets reported many times they probably will look into it again

I thought this was the way its supposed to be used and using it while sprinting is the bug lol so ots the other way around...?

If you're playing bounty hunter and you get an unlockable reward at some level (called eagle eye +) you can use eagle eye while running or sprinting. At least before you get killed by another player, then it stops working until you change session or restart the game. Maybe some other conditions also trigger it, but I haven't figure it out yet

getting killed by a plaer or joining/starting any kind of story mission make eagleeye+ stop working until you reload from the main menu to online.

Yeah, you have to change session or restart online so it could work again.
Still, joining and completing a story mission does not always makes Eagle Eye + unavailable, I've tested this and it worked after completing a story mission, but if I continue playing more story missions it will eventually stop working and I wonder what can cause this, I did not die during a mission. Yet I can tell that getting killed by a player is a guaranteed way for Eagle Eye + to stop working

It seems that they have fixed this.
I was killed by another players several times - in free roam and a free roam event.
Normally I have to start another session to sprint again with eagle eye.
But that seems to be not the case anymore.

Yeah, can confirm they've fixed it. GJ everyone who reported the issue on R* bugtracker, including me:)

Update in patchnotes from today:

Fixed an issue that caused unlocked role skills to not become active until the player died or joined a new Red Dead Online session, including Ducking and Eagle Eye

I've never been able to run in Eagle Eye, in either Offline or Online. It always shuts off when I do. That's been a bug this whole time?!

For online, what bounty hunter level are you? Glad to see it's fixed.

You need to unlock that ability trough bounty hunter role.

A year later, still broken.

Pretty much, yeah. It was actually fixed a year ago, when my last post was. January 2020.
They returned this bug again in naturalist update (summer 2020) and it's been present ever since but I stopped to care about this game tbh. I Rarely play it and I didn't bother to send a ticket to report the issue to Rockstar support again. Seems like it's hopeless. They'll fix it in hotfixes, yeah, but they'll return the bug again with major new content updates
