Red Dead Online is currently back in the spotlight for many cowboys, but they are experiencing significant crashes in the game. Rockstar has so far only provided a solution for a few.
Here is the current status: A few days ago, Red Dead Online received a massive update, which brought poker into the game. Fans want to play again, but numerous crashes are preventing some cowboys from doing so.
Reports indicate that the game crashes multiple times within a few minutes.
Crashes in Red Dead Online – What can be done?
Reports of these crashes: Various online forums are filled with complaints: Red Dead Online has been crashing more frequently since the latest update. However, not all players are affected, as the update has been well received by many.
That makes the disappointment for the affected cowboys even greater: “The most annoying thing is hearing how everyone has a great time with this update while I can’t enjoy the game for more than 5 minutes without crashing,” writes “nasty_nater” on Reddit.
“TheSaintz69” writes: “Very disappointing and frustrating with the online mode. I play for about 10 minutes and the game crashes. It’s frustrating when you spend time collecting pelts only to have a crash and lose all your hard work every time!”
What is the problem? This is exactly the crux of the matter. No one really knows why some players are massively affected by crashes while others can play without any issues.
What does Rockstar advise? Numerous players have contacted Rockstar’s support after experiencing crashes. They received a quick response, but it has helped only a few cowboys.
They suggest clearing the game’s cache files. To do this, you need to restart the console. If you are playing on PlayStation, you must also press the L1 and R1 buttons simultaneously when restarting the game.
However, very few players report that this tip helped. For the other cowboys, the problems persist. Their game crashes just as often.
It seems that Rockstar themselves don’t really know the solution to the problem. It remains to be seen whether an upcoming update will fix the crashes.
The update has changed a lot about the graphics. So Red Dead Redemption 2 now looks much better:
