Sometimes, a man just needs to get his Rock off.

Rockstar has a notice on the how-to page about it taking 7 to 10 business days if you've just linked your accounts.

Open a ticket if you're really impatient. Rockstar support is some of the best if you write to them like a human being and not a gamer. They gave me 15 bars straight up when I got impatient and asked.

Same here, actually. They couldn't get the hunter license to show up so I just bought it and they refunded me the gold bars straight-up.

Is there a Discord people hang out in to play or anything? I like online, but I feel weird just roaming around solo.

I agree with all of this. I've stopped doing free roam events because of it.

The only good public events are Salvage and Trade Route. I would say Day of Reckoning but the last few times I did it there were a bunch of pissbabies ruining everyone's good time in there.

I am a moron and cannot do the $$ bounties. I inspect the clues and follow the paths but I always get the message that the path is wrong and I must go to a past clue. Do some clues have multiple paths going off them?

Yeah, sometimes that happens. Use your eagle eye to see multiple paths, and remember when the game tells you to go back to the clue, you don't have to go all the way to the start, just your last successful clue.

It's kind of a weird system and I'm not wild about it, but bounty hunting in general is kinda wonky and I hope they flesh it out more.

They only show up in game: not in the menus or anything else. I can't find anything else on it. Anyone know what this is?

Holding shift to match is the only way I know, I just use a lot of the cinematic cam for autorunning. Just get started on your run/path and hold V for cinematic cam and the horse will keep going towards the waypoint you last set (or to wherever the mission npc is going that you're alongside).

I've been trying to play with K+M but it's painfully clear the game was made with controllers in mind. Maybe aiming and shooting is better (if you're used to playing FPS games, which I am not so I prefer controller autoaim), but everything else is so much better with a controller.

Silly question: I launched RDO a few days ago while half-drunk just to try it out, I didn't realize it had missions and cutscenes and stuff so I just quit right then because if I had to see cutscenes and do missions I'd rather keep playing story mode at that time; will I be stuck forever with the ugly character I made, or can I change his facial features and whatnot?

same question but about swapping gender. I picked a woman but the animations seem a little off? Think it might make more sense as a grizzled cowboy.

You can change how your character looks via the online menu, press left on the d-pad and go to online options, bottom option. I think the first time is free.

This you cannot do, however. You can change your walk style in the online menu for a hopefully better fit, otherwise you gotta re roll a character completely.

You can "change appearance" from the player menu in online, first time is free, next times are $400 a pop.

After obsessively looting everything I can find and hitting a couple gold bars from a treasure map, I'm at nearly $4k right at the start of chapter 4 in story mode. About to drop a thousand bucks on a horse but other than that are there any other major money sinks at this point? I have most guns it seems and they're only a few hundo. I just keep stocked up on expensive bullets.

I just keep stocked up on expensive bullets.

I didn't even loot everything or go out of my way to make money, and about halfway through Chapter 4 I have 3300$ and nothing to spend them on (unless I go for a fancy horse but eeeh, not sure it's worth it, already got the White Arabian and there's nothing strictly "better" available at the moment), I'm already fully stocked on every type of ammo and consumable, bought all recipes from the fence, fully upgraded camp and gave 500$ to camp funds to replenish supplies, bought more clothes than I'll ever use and so on

I literally don't know what to do with this huge amount of money, and Arthur keeps acting like he's totally destitute and can't even afford a 1$ glass of whisky in St Denis or complains about how 20$ is a whole lot of money. I mean I get that it's supposed to be like that for ~story reasons~, but with the amount of detail gone into the game, they could've made a check like "IF money_on_hand > 1000$ THEN use rich_guy_dialogue where appropriate"

Yeah, that's my feeling too.

I just bought the Missouri Fox Trotter that unlocks from the Scarlet Meadows stable in Chapter4. It's one tick less acceleration than the Arabian, but one tick faster top speed, and also looks rad. Hopefully less skittish too. Her name is Cheddar.




Hm, what's up with photo mode taking pictures in 1080p? I'm playing at 1440.

I just got this game on PC and I do not own any controller to use. I always use keyboard and mouse, but it is very awkward in this game.

Can anyone please share their best tips for keyboard/mouse in RDR2 and/or link to kb+m tips?

I’m desperate for whatever useful keyboard tips people have. Almost all website discussing game tips reference controller buttons and are from console launch a year ago. Thanks.

Someone earlier said they feel like they're piloting a star destroyer with K/M and that resonated. Then that made me think it's like the movie Inside Out (Cowboy Edition) except there's only one of you piloting the whole person and that makes me smile and enjoy the game even more for some reason

True enough, using dual Mausers on a horse doing a drive-by very much feels like dumping with Star Destroyer autocannons.

Unless they've changed it recently, R* lets you change your social club name once per year. I don't know if it can be done through the new launcher, but log in to the social club site, go to profile settings and edit the nickname.

Everyone ingame sees your Social club name, your actual character name is not shown anywhere ingame as far as I know. You can change your social club name though.

Haven't had a crash in like a week and the optimization seems like it's in a good spot now, especially if you follow a config guide (which takes all of 3 mins).

Free aim is definitely more engaging and challenging, so I've made the switch to KB & M for the most part, but whenever I'm doing long stretches of collecting or fishing or anything non-combat, I switch back to the controller. The vibration feedback when objects are near is sorely missed on KB & M :/

You can go to "story" in the menu and save. Can't do it during missions but during free roam, you can.

Anyway I'm still getting occasional crashes.
