I bought it when the steam version (and so standalone online) wasn't there.

Red Dead Redemption 2 online is very broken right now.
This is the solution as @axcha already pointed out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFd2af8wINE

I agree Rockstar beeing part of the problem, because they could and should take action against it.

But, I do also have an opinion about the root of the issues.

There are many problems, hence they are coming from a single source, which is not Rockstar tbh.
Alot of gamers cheating with mods or with mod menus like fortitude, to be precise.
These menus allow you to do all sorts of things, spawn dragon breahing creatures, pin explosions to players, mess with the controls of other players and also the controls of horses of other players.
You can also attach the burning hoofs and spawn in all sorts of entities, like flying ships and crap.

Now, it is a fact that these menus are causing the crashes in rdo.
The menus it self even advertising to fix game crashes. That is, because as a cheater myself, the menu prevents other cheating players with the same menu to interact with my character. So yes, this of course fixes the problem.

This is quite clever I have to admit, sell Software which is the root but also the solution to a problem.

But this guy, LucianoStillModz is just a greedy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, he wants to get Moneh, not Rockstar. And doing so, he gives a ♥♥♥♥ about ruining the game for everyone. From a developer point of view, he is not doing anything special. He just calls in events, special effects and animations which rockstar has already implemented.

So, in my opinion, people like him are just disgusting scumbags. But I am pretty sure he makes alot of money out of it. Given the pure amount of players using this crap.

Thats the second part of the problem then, the players using this crap. Here is where blaming Rockstar comes into place, in my opinion.
Because people which would normally not cheat may just tryout these menues, because
a) Everybody is using it and nothing happens, no bans no nothing (Rockstars fault).
b) They hear that using a menu will fix crashes, which it does, as I explained earlier.

Being an open-source developer myself, I do believe that people like Luciano are beeing the morally bottom of our society.
He won't probably just stop doing so, even if I would whish he would question himself and his actions.
It does cost Rockstar alot of money and it pisses hundreds of thousands of honest players off.
And it pulls also thousand of honest players into cheating.

I hope Rockstar as a company is taking legal actions against such individuals to be honest.

This is my personal opinion, I cannot prove my statements. Well I could probably if i would buy the stupid mod and reverse engineer the ♥♥♥♥ out of it.

He is also hardcore and obviously lying to his paying userbase, which everybody should notice bevore evaluating buying his cheats.
Let me point that out in his promotion video (Read the comments if you are interested):

Q: how much of a risk is spawning in treasure money and gold bars?
A: You wont get banned havent heard of a rdr2 ban in like a year (which might be true right now, but also could change tomorrow)

Q: You happen to know how someone can crash a fortitude user? I was just crashed by someone.
A: I never get crashed lol

My favorite one:
Q: Undetectable online?
A: Yes 👍 (But detecting other players using the mod beeing advertised as a feature of the mod itself, lol)


And now please rockstar, there are so many ways of easy detection of this players:
- Detect nocliping
- Detect burning hoofs when you not allow it (my guess is there was kind of a halloween special)
- Detect players spawning in any entities
- Detect players messing with horses of other players
- Detect players having significant gold $rdo increases without actually completing any missions
- probably many more

not anymore, i was in contact with their support for over 2 months and never got a clear answer, sometimes they would say its as per the game design, contradicting past bug fixed regarding not being able to play offline.
according to pcgamingwiki https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Rockstar_Games_Launcher it doesnt work as of january 2023

[cwa]

Well the startup.meta file still works for me at this moment. I bought the game over steam but I believe it is still utilizing Rockstar Launcher for startup.

Many people reporting it is working for them in 2024

I suggest you just give it a try

I don't need the dead rdo. I just want the story mode with out internet.

[cwa]

The story mode is not a problem, is it?

For anyone who wants to play online, I just created a private group.
If you want to join to play together, drop me a pm. If you look clean, i'll invite you and you'll be able to see my lobby password.

Password will be changed monthly or weekly, if I catch you cheating, you'll get kicked, no questions asked.

If you have/had any vac ban, do not even waste your time writing me a message.
Only honest people.

i don't think it is possible, although i haven't checked in a year or two. my internet was down for a while and i could play story mode briefly, then it locked me out. I had to connect pc to phone hotspot, then i was able to play again :(

[cwa]

Sorry i've misread, WITHOUT internet it is not possible to play any steam game, I think.

What is the problem playing RDR2 Story mode with internet?
