RDR2 is unplayable due to hackers, not just bugs now.
Ever since R* Stopped supporting RDR2 the online mode has been infested with modders, now I am going to state; I do not mind or care modders who are only trying to have fun and are not causing harm to other players; that isn't the issue.

The issue is the toxic modders intentionally causing harm, ruining the game & making it unplayable for others. Theres new forms of mods going around which ARE worse & making it unplayable, similar to the ones that used to be used in online sessions in GTA where the hacker could kill all of the server repetitively with exploding everyone, its not very funny & its getting beyond a joke.

I've had to deal with it 3x today alone, server hopped all three times as well straight away, its getting annoying. I have lost legendary animal parts and failed many missions due to these kinds of toxic modders/hackers.

I highly doubt R* is going to do anything about this either which is frustrating. But they really need to as RDR2 is becoming unplayable due to hackers like these especially if more people begin to use them too.

If I capture it happening again by recording, I will post it here to show what exactly it is, some hackers do it repetitively until everyone logs or only a few times within every 5 minutes, but mostly its repetitively every single time you respawn, its rly frustrating. Unfortunately there is no way to identify the hacker/person responsible of doing it(aka their username) to report them for it too.

Yeah I came back to see what's the situation. Went to a story mission in Online. One of the players in the mission had a horse that was constantly on fire... Well that didn't ruin the mission but still hacker none the less.

After the mission I went to the moonshine shack with a few other players. All of a sudden we were all on fire... So this is it? What a wasted opportunity the Online has been. Sad to say but I think that's how it is.

Yeah, its very frustrating at the moment. Like I don't think RDO is going to be playable anymore if they do not do anything about it. I kept getting instant killed, same with my horse because of it & It costs me to loose everything. The thing that makes it worse is I usually use/always am in Defensive while doing missions etc & defensive mode is still broken & easily abused/bypassed.

Aka it has a massive hole in it that griefers & hackers can abuse still to grief/annoy a player minding their own business, which is by using molotovs or any explosives on a player or their horse in defensive mode; worse of all you cant defend yourself you literally have to log or wait for offensive mode to kick on/turn on.

I wish Rockstar would give us a flaming skeleton horse, that would be awesome.

Ngl that would be cool as a limited/seasonal-edition event horse/item for like Halloween.

Exactly same her. I guess it will go the same way down as GTA.

As R* is only interested in earning Money and doesnt care about that Problem, it will be the second and LAST game i bought .

I had a little 'Hacker Problem' at about 2AM when he spawned 3 Panthers on me. I changed Sessions, of course, but in my area there was only one session and he was in it. I knew this when he spawned 3 Wolves on me.

I quit, when Solo, and made 2 Long D. Deliveries without issue - 'cause the only one in the Session was me (Stables and Wagons work perfectly Solo, of course).

Just got back from 4 hours in a Public Lobby - no problems today.

It's good to have a way to play the game - when others would rather you didn't.

;)

They only made bussiness missions & stuff do-able recently for GTA Online in private sessions bc of the complaints to do with hackers & MKII users. I doubt they will do this for RDRO unfortunately.

They seem to focused on GTA Online & GTA 6.

Yeah, had that many times months before(still do now but mainly this new problem with hackers that makes it unplayable) they discontinued rdo updates & hackers made new annoying ways to make the game unplayable for players(aka the explosive type of mods.)

Since i started using solo online private (thanks to JuiceWSA) me and all discord pals (that have the game) play together no hackers its a dream all on the same server.. I highly recommend you give this a try. This is the best way to enjoy this game online WITHOUT hackers.

Online matches was unplayeble from the start. As GTA:O too. And I can bet what 100% it will be the same in GTA 6. R* Don't give a sh't about players.

Brony* You're obviously blind & only came here to vent about being mad/triggered by a pfp which has zero relevance to the situation lmao.

& no they can't see your steam avatar in-game unfortunately. So thats quite a dumb think of. I can see you're clearly mad over a pony avatar lol; so I am going to tell you to leave & calm down because you're clearly just a mad 12 year old weeb.

Yep, unfortunately & I doubt they are ever going to change or improve from it, especially since they're away and is always the things that kills their games/communities.

I am not the one going irrelevant to get mad & childish for no reason over a pfp though & only coming onto a forum post to "vent" about it out of spite because "its a pony" lmao when thats not what the post is about lmao. Its literal a convo thread about rdr2 issues. :/

But hey at least I am not a 40 year old potentially zoo/pedo neck-beard bloke with porn addiction issues though; like the most of the communities these days, I actually am a young girl and someone who likes the show + doing harmless safe art inspired of it for fun; thats my hobby, not yours and thats fine, I am completely respectful of that. <3

But Please I suggest sticking to the subject rather than cause problems over a pfp its just ridiculous how childish some people can be or "offended" by a simple profile picture; this forum post is not about arguing or crying over a pfp, its literally a thread discussing about how RDO is unplayable due to hackers. :)

But seriously don't bother defending them or continue to give them any attention as they've only came here to provoke, troll & cause problems for literally no reason other than they're mad over someone's pfp.

That reminds me I need to lock this thread as I have found a solution for the time being. :>
