[Polygon Article Here]
Yesterday, Rockstar put out a patch for Red Dead Online and it absolutely broke the game. Like, at this point with modern games, I expect some glitches and things to happen when new updates are pushed out. But this....is just unacceptable.
Polygon outlines some of the problems using tweets from various users. Personally, I had hard crashes to the Xbox desktop, and similar problems to others (horses vanishing, no NPCs outside/invisible drivers of horse drawn carriages, creatures running in place or frozen, unable to lock onto anything, etc)
I just...I don't understand. How could Rockstar, a AAA developer release something like this? Today they pushed out a new update for GTA and Its fairly likely we won't get any updates on RDO for a few days while they focus on that. In fact, Rockstar has been completely silent on the issue that makes their game entirely unplayable.
I'll leave you with a couple of clips to enjoy our pain ;___;
EDIT: Rockstar finally acknowledges the problems almost 24 hours later.

Many are reporting a complete lack of characters and animals populating their servers, making Red Dead Online into somewhat of a ghost town (which has been a problem in the past.) Horses seem to be the only friendly faces that players can count on right now, but often, the steeds are completely glitchy as well. Fans perusing the new update are sharing clips of invisible horses, horses that phase in and out of reality, horses that are on fire, horses that run in place, and more. It's better than that time Red Dead fans kept encountering huge piles of dead horses, but not by much.
