New Red Dead Redemption Competitive Multiplayer Screens

Rockstar Games’ brilliant western title Red Dead Redemption released today, but much to the dismay of a number of Xbox 360 owners, the game had serious system link issues.

Well, Rockstar has seen fit to address this issue, and a title update has already been released. My guess is that you’ll see the update prompt next time you boot up the game.

Anyone encounter/remedy the system link issue?

Should the need arise, feel free to E-Mail me your tips, suggestions, and/or personal philosophies, or follow me on Twitter.

    I've encountered a few glitches in 1 game play session, one was when you get off your horse to hitch it I would get caught up and stuck and keep jiggling around weirdly, I just kept moving in a direction running and pressing the jump button to eventually get free. Another, was with the stagecoach taxis, the whole thing, incl. the horses, were moving up and down making a loud sound, as though there was a small contained earthquake right under it. When I boarded it (and this happened multiple times) and picked a destination, the horses would start trotting off, but wouldn't actually go anywhere, lol, just up and down quickly. Another time I lost the sound you here of galloping, and the slicing sound when you skin an animal, but that kind of glitch is fairly normal imo, that stagecoach one though, never seen anything like that, even after I reloaded a few times, or died, it still did it, wasn't until I turned the game off and played again did it seem normal again.

    the only glitching I encountered was in single player ran over a rabbit with my horse and I flew in the air. I landed and died in Mexico. . . . . . .

    Anyone else have horse and cart combos stacking up on top of each other in front of Bonnie Macfarlane's house? Pretty hilarious, it's like a mobile two story building.

    How many affected is not the point. If you were one of the Toyota car owners and you suddenly had your hands full with a runaway car, would it matter how many? No, you would be upset and justified in your outcry.

    I can guarantee you that every rural area dude with a system has this game. That would be people who cannot get high speed internet due to location. Unwillingness of internet companies to run cable to a few houses. System link is HUGE in this demographic.

    If it's in the manual or visible code; menu, options,etc. Then it should be a functioning part of the game.

    Looks like they may want to patch the PS3 as well. Couldnt connect to my RStar Server for the last day or so to get my outfit. Cut scenes would mute out and people would suddenly polygon out or freeze. Not that Im mad. I understand some of this is more rampant in open world games as its not easy for them to test every possible situation I would get into. It part of that tradeoff that you make when you give the player that much choice.
    I just hope they can fist it before it actually hurts my game play.

    the Multiplayer was horrible on the 360, Guns didn't show up but could still shoot, couldn't connect to match had to try 3 times just to get into a private match public was even worse error connection to network lost everytime I tried to join my friends. One time it even froze my 360 when bringing me back to the single player mode & controller didn't respond & the party I was in went dead couldn't hear eachother. Then When I finally got connected to a match played for about 5 min when my friend was kicked back to the dashboard & I got a black screen before going back to menu. tried again all was good until there was lag & glict where my character & horse disappeared & my friend rode into me & his disappeared. I expect more from Rockstar the game is awesome but I haven't had this much issues online since Gears 2

    I want to know the amount of people that were affected by this. I mean I didn't think system link was so popular still

    Looks like we need more patches already. Played in a private free roam and it was perfect (4 players) but when we started playing in public ones: holy crap...tons of problems!

    The worst glitch I have encountered in RDR was in Free Roam. Eventually your character+horse disappear along with other players and NPC's. They stay invisible for very lengthy stretches. I have not come across the disappearing act in single player though. I also had some connection issues to multiplayer off and on through out the day on XBOX Live. Just like GTA IV there are lots of patches needed. Does Rockstar not have a budget for quality and assurance (aka bug squashing)?

    I am having serious bug issues in single player. I'm falling through the ground, the game is freezing every five minutes, this is bad.

    I was able to connect with people in my Friends List, but no random connections. Its nice to see how quickly they were able to fix it.
