Does RDO have private, invite only lobbys yet?

[LB-Col. Cotton]

Hi there just before i buy the game i just want to know if i can do things in a private session with friends only?

No. Not unless you're willing to seek out third-party tools to create "invite only" lobbies. No, the "tools" won't get you banned. You can do all the things except Free Roam Events (invites to multiplayer modes) and the Online story (runs with matchmaking). Gotta be in public for those.

The ball is in your court.

Hey here's a tip that works for GTA Online as well as RDO. Click in your search bar next to your Start button in Windows, and type Resource Monitor. Open the program and pin it to your task bar for easy access. With it open, you will see in the CPU section either GTA or RDO, whichever you are playing. Right click and select "Suspend Process" and then count 5-6 Mississippi's. Right click and select "Resume Process"

This will throw you into your own server for a short time, a good tool to get away from griefers

What.. if we are.. several players, all in the same "crew" doing missions ? :)
Making the server full, and the greefers less.

That is a little trickier. If you are about to do a mission that can be ruined by players, such as selling a full load of goods from your trader business, you would have the player whose goods are going to be sold do the Suspend Process trick, get into a solo session (you stay exactly where you are when you do this so in this case you would do it at camp that way you are ready to start the sale) and then invite the other players. They spawn in right near you, join your posse, and you start the sale

We have tried to do that, but it wont let us start any missions during solo lobby.. (using a mod for it..)

Thirdy party tool you mean firewall? Because the mods for invite only can get banned. And cant refund if get banned.

thanks for the info all but im just going to grin and bare it as i dont mod or do anything like that to online games. but if its get to bad with hackers ill just go GTA V as i know they have invite sessions there as i just wanted to try the red dead 2 as i loved the first game years ago, thats all.

In gta in invite session cant work some mission. Not is same thing.

[LB-Col. Cotton]

true, im not after the big cash tho. but im sure ill get a friend to buy and help me with RDO as hackers have ruined my GTA gaming as iv been in solo/invite sessions there for 2 years now due to hacker ruining lobbys.

Utterly false. By this logic, Microsoft Windows to Rockstar is a third party tool. Look at the Online Features Code of Conduct, it's written on waxing paper. Windows Firewall, one of the many options for solo public simply serves to block internet ports to join other players, it doesn't modify or tamper with the game. Even the Snapmatic camera upload for GTA Online since 2013 has been constantly used to take pictures of player and opposing crew kills with "abuse" and "vulgar" images. No one in the GTA community has ever been banned for making solo sessions. I have over 10,000 hours on GTA with a good portion ran in solo public. Coming up on 2,000 hours for RDO, almost all in solo public. But please, if you can provide some hyperlink to back up these claims you are spouting, i am all ears.

OP it would be a shame to not experience the game due to modders. My friend begged me to get this but i already assumed i'd have to try do something to protect myself against the fun police, because it sure as sh*t won't come from Rockstar. Their game infrastructure is built on peer 2 peer; using your customers to host client side sessions. People are seemingly amazed at mod use and their abilities but can't comprehend the complexities and dodgy nature of computer networking. Upside for me? Playing RDO has swayed me to buy the main game for the holidays, it's a real good time killer. If Online doesn't work out for you, at least give the main game a try.

I kind of wish people would stop calling them modders. I believe a modder is someone that makes mods. would you call someone that downloaded a mod for say....dayz to change something a modder? well i wouldn't

I mean mods not firewall :) for now the firewall not is banned but in future who know. Certain players with lags have advantage in certain games and in these games is banned.

In any cases i mean the solo lobby with mods.

Only with anti cheat, law about cheating and dedicated server can destroy the modding players.
