I saw some guy post an idea about Legendary Hunts in the same vein as the Legendary Bounties. Seeing as how I've really really enjoyed the Legendary Bounties I'd like to see more of stuff like that.

I did however feel really bad about taking in Wolf Man :(

I too had to change my face several times to avoid looking like a meth addict. In the end I had to put my chin and jaw on the smallest possible settings.

How do you dive and shoot (or dive/roll between shots) with mouse+keyboard?

Rightclick (aiming a weapon, specifically) + Space + Direction of Dive. I always forget this exists.

Like GTA5, the singleplayer world is just more robust and detailed in general. You can't rob stores or trains in online. The way you interact with the law in Online is kind of dumb, bounties that you accrue are basically pointless. One thing I really enjoyed about singleplayer is the ability to just walk around and say poo poo to people and see how they react, which is totally absent from multiplayer. There's a general absence of music while freeroaming. Overall there's just a lot more going on.

Think of online is like, a content expansion to singleplayer. You can't really think of them as the same game.

What's the cheapest way to refill your dead eye ring (not core) in RDR Online? It seems like my dead eye is perpetually empty whenever I log in. I am new and only really know of chewing tobacco to refill it, which seems like it should not be the cheapest option for regular use.

Theres a perk that raises your Dead Eye slowly over time. It is incredible.

Use this as a base. You can probably bump up some of the settings significantly.

This might take a while...

My CPU meets the minimum specs but not the recommended specs so I hope I'll be able to run this at a decent framerate.

Near Volumetric Lighting at Low and Water Physics on the lowest settings will help you tremendously. I also have my render resolution at 0.8. These are all in the advanced settings and will make sense once you see them. Don't settle for anything less than Ultra textures.

I'm curious as to what water physics actually does and just how noticeable it is when you lower it cause drat it's a hog but I love riding my horse along river banks so anything that makes water look or act worse would be no bueno.

In my opinion when the physics are set to high it makes the water look worse. The surface tension seems super unrealistic, more akin to something like a big blob of oil. The biggest thing you're missing out on with higher water physics is a rippling effect when you shoot the water.

Are PC versions cross compatible? I figured they would be since it's all going through the launcher but figured I'd ask if I could play with my friend who bought it through R* directly while I'm on Steam.

I think Stadia has its own network, otherwise you're good to go

I keep meaning to change my water physics to medium. I've been playing on super high settings in the story comfortably with around 45 to 60 fps but online seems to make the frame rate tank a bit more. I know there's like 4 or 5 settings that do the most to hamper frame rate, I just gotta remember where I saw the guide that highlighted which ones.

After much experimentation, its Water Physics, Near Volumetric Lighting, and Grass Shadows that seem to have the most effect.

Well one neat thing about Online is that you can change the graphics in the menu and as long as it doesnt require a restart, you can see the immediate effect if you have an FPS counter going. I use the nvidia overlay to see my FPS update in real time. I'd suggest attempting Low for the Near Volumetric Lighting, just to try it.

Agreed, PC community has been almost universally pleasant. Except for everyone in Free Roam missions, everyone in those can go gently caress themselves.

I don't think its obvious enough that Defensive Mode is not the same as Passive Mode. It's basically just a huge buff vs players that discourages them from making the first move. I think how it works is, if you shoot and hit someone your defensive bonus goes away and you get a ton of hostility. However if you get shot and return fire you're ok. So I think people bait you into shooting them first.

Are collectibles on Red Dead Online sessions per player or is there only 1 collectible for each collection for the entire session? I'm using the RDO collection map with the corresponding videos, but none of them seem to be spawning.

It's definitely per player. You can do it as a group.

Make sure you do every treasure map you find. Keep in mind that you're supposed to be feeling a vibration from the controller during these, otherwise you might never find some of them.

Wow, I am getting constant Error 0X20010006's when trying to play RDO (on PC) now, like to the point of being unplayable. It's been perfectly stable for me since launch until now. Is this actually a problem with Rockstar, or am I uniquely experiencing this volume of disconnects?

In my personal experience, some days this just happens. Others it doesn't.

So how does the GTA Online thing to earn the stuff in RDO work? I thought it was a limited time thing and long over but apparently not? I guess I need to reinstall GTAO again...

As far as I know, the only 'unique' thing is that serial killer revolver. Which to be honest is ugly as gently caress. Everything else is stuff you can just get normally, such as the Double Action Revolver and the Collector Role.
