WHAT will remain...

[sergioiv2017]

I went through the whole game completely. Completed all achievements. I found all the herbs, all the weapons, all the horses. and so on and so on.
WHAT will remain if I start the game again from the beginning?

Nothing.

[sergioiv2017]

All achievements that are published on the site socialclub will disappear?
How can this be?

[in]

Well achievements will remain ofc. But your new play through won't be affected in any way and you will start from 0. If you want to keep your old saves make manual savegame.

Just your achievements.

When you start a new game you will have to rediscover everything. To save your progress from your completed game, be careful not to overwrite it and save your new game in a new save slot.

Best bet is before clicking START NEW GAME within RDR2, first go and backup your saved games to another folder; just in case you ever want to go back to them.

They are stored here.
C:\Users\BadMotha\Documents\Rockstar Games\Red Dead Redemption 2\Profiles\YourID#

Save game slots start with SRDR
01-14 = are user manual save slots
15 = the autosave slot (delete this one, do not back it up)

This is best because that way, during a 2nd playthrough you won't accidentally over-write a save from a previous play-through. Plus with all the SRDR files removed from the above folder, when launching game again, START NEW GAME will be the only option. Otherwise you would have to load a previous saved game, then once loaded in, go to ESC > Story > New Game. Way too much BS.

The autosave file is really useless and should never be backed up or relied upon in any way.

If you leave any SRDR files in the folder, the game will load up the last saved game based on the most recent saved file date & time.

I have a lot of save slots left in the game itself. Only four are occupied. If I start a new game and save it and resave it and load it into the 5th slot, for example, will I be able to return to the old game by loading the 4th slot? Would I see everything I had (horses, herbs, weapons, etc.) during that playthrough ?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Yes of course.

Again the issue is when you load story mode you can't select which save to load; it auto loads the most recent one.

This is why for me, I feel its stupid to have all those saves there from multiple play throughs. Just move the current ones to another folder and insert a text file with them explaining what they are.

Then load up the game and click Story and it'll start a new game since there are now no saved game files present.

[sergioiv2017]

That is, if I choose to load the 4th slot, I can play the old game. If I choose the 5th slot, then I play a new game. Is that really how it works?

[Bad 💀 Motha]

It's more time consuming.

Ok let me explain it again more clearly.

Let's say your saved game slots are like this, bare with me please.

> Slot 1 = AUTOSAVE
> Slot 2 = Old Playthrough - Sometime during Epilogue Part 2

Now I'm not going to use Dates/Times in the example; the reason they shown as Slot 1 and 2 is that Slot 1 save is the last most recent save.

For one if you are going to have multiple saves from different playthroughs, you really should go into the game and disable the autosave feature, then delete the SRDR file that ends in number 15, which is the autosave itself.

Now, the next time you load up RDR2, all you can choose to START STORY
This will in-turn load up the last saved game, based on its time-stamp. So you have to select START STORY, wait til it loads into that SAVE and all that. Then press ESC > Story > New Game.

Why have the confusion and all the long loading that needs to occur. When all you could do to make this easier on yourself is go and MOVE all SRDR files out of the folder the game puts them in. Then load up the game and the only option will be to start a new game.

At any time you can go and swap around save files. If you keep only one SRDR save file in the folder that the game uses at any given time, then you'll know before loading up the game which exact saved game file will be loaded up when you click into STORY MODE.

Not to mention, lets say I leave Autosave Feature enabled. I start a new game, the autosave is going to get updated, making it the most recent saved game file. Let's say the I exit the game. Next launch it's going to load the autosave automatically since it's the most recent save file.

[sergioiv2017]

Will it work like this? If I choose to load the 4th slot, I can play the old game (with all the achievements and goods that I have collected). If I choose the 5th slot, then I play a new game.
Just YES or NO.

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Achievements are already unlocked per your account. Once those unlock they stay unlocked forever. Starting a new game playthrough doesn't change that. So for example if I start over in RDR2 Story, the Achievements on my account stay for whatever ones I have already unlocked. They don't get reset in any way. So in this 2nd playthrough you are never going to see an Achievements pop-up for one's you happen to get again in the 2nd playthrough.

But yes it will work with having each save slot be a difficult player and/or playthrough if you want to sure.

If you start new game it's not going to delete your previous saved game slot files.

If you want to keep it like that fine but then I would either disable the autosave in the game altogether or, before you exit the game make sure you manually save again, then after saving to a slot, select and delete the autosave slot file.

Hello, friend!
Can you help me?
In the photo , Arthur is wearing a hat that he took from one NPC. It is not saved in the game. Is there EXACTLY the same thing in the game that can be saved?

When a NPC Hat is unique, the way the game tells you it's unique and can keep it in wardrobe is that when Eagle-Eye is not on, the unique NPC hat will still glow. That's when you know you it will be added to wardrobe when you pick it up.

I'm not sure about the one in your screenshots; but you can look through all of the in-game clothing here and even make purchases while outside of the game. Just have to be logged into your SocialClub account is all.
