Hacked Again

[Stevil]

Hacked multiple times in RDR2
teleported to another zone into a cage with 10+ other players and we are surrounded by bears and panthers and cougars (just one of over 10 times in one day multiple quits and restarts). But today takes the cake. Just inserted into a spaceship which makes it impossible to interact with just about anything. It also made any NPC around attack. took f12 photos of player names and of me on the spaceship. cant post because Im directed to Team Fortress when I do it.

I had the same problem when I first started. Literally any time I had more than 1 perfect pelts and carcass on my horse I was hacked by either a teleport or raining alligators or randomly my horse would die then be duped and I would not be able to get back on. My wife played too and never once was hacked or disconnected or frozen but I was all day every day for at least 2 months. This leads me to believe a hacker specifically targets one person and saves thier info to harass or steal from them any time they want.
If it helps any once I got the trader wagon to store my deer or whatever in the hacking stopped almost completely.

Yeah that is what online mode is, cheaters paradise. The only real solution would be private lobby options but considering how many people have been asking for that since RDO came out, it seems like it will never happen, much like any kind of proper anti cheat or cheating moderation. I gave up after about 6 months and reporting over 250 obvious cheaters in game and on their website, there is just no point, so unless you can have fun while having cheaters constantly interrupting your play, then just move on.

I think it's about time for you to switch to other games and leave that toxic online platform. Like everyone else.

Yeah, there’s no shortage of cheating online.

Last night I was attacked by a zombie, saw a giant Halloween monster roam around a town, looked at someone importing different game assets into a field, and saw an absolute sea of perfect alligator pelts lying by a butcher.

I wish this game had a better anti-cheat. :(

My theory is that most of the people who work at R* are the ones cheating or harassing the players. They also make money from selling the cheat menu to keep it updated. Just my theory, why else would they turn their backs to all of the community cries for help. Dump R* let it die out.

That actually makes a lot of sense.
R* don't make that much from gold purchases, so why not sell the cheat menu instead.

Since lots of players don't bother buying gold and they have no long term way of making money it makes sense.

They could have easily gotten away with selling some sort of premium mode for a negligible amount (<5 dollars a month) and many players would buy it.

Wouldn't be the least bit surprised.

thanks for your comments and suggestions

I would pay a monthly fee for hacker free game play. An idea for R* charge the hackers $10 a month for hack menu, then charge the rest of us $15 to ban them all. Kind of a s****y business practice, but hey it's all about the Benjamin's.

I sometimes feel like hackers are lonely and hack others to feel validated

I would too but unfortunately no amount of fees or bans stops them. They are in every single online game I've played since the early 90s.
I still remember Russian hackers ruining original EQ by duping and dumping trillions of platinum into the online game economy. The game completely changed after that and the devs tried many times to offset the new " inflation" and banned thousands.
Within a few days the hackers where back.
And that was a expensive to buy and expensive to play game.
Hackers just like to ruin people's day and money isn't a problem for most of them.

Having to pay a subscription cost to host private lobbies with the P2P system would be a blatant cash grab due to how free it is to do that hosting, that would be f'n pathetic, with that said i'd probably still pay just so I could actually play with family/friends instead of with all the cheaters and psychos.
