For much of the week, Rockstar’s Red Dead Online has been all sorts of pieces for the players, as people report everything from abandoned landscapes to magical horses to the presence of a lonely, mysterious bald man, sometimes the only NPC on the map.
The cause seems to be related to the recent 1.21 title update of the game, with Rockstar is launching a dedicated support page for users who complain about things like “low count of spawned animals, difficulty storing Kampen, entering Moonshine toilets” and, most commonly of all problems, “others”.
“We are currently developing fixes to address these and will share more information as it becomes available.”
Until these fixes come live, please enjoy this collection of deep foreign shit that is happening right now, like persistent horses:
G / O Media can get a commission
Dance corps:
Alligator rein:
Flying carts:
and tree horses:
All very funny! But most interesting out of all the various bugs and glitches that go on has been the fact that even though most of the NPCs have disappeared from the game, one previously unseen resident started spinning … all over the place.
As Polygon report, this “Bald Man” sometimes appears as a functional NPC, and other times as an almost ghostly glitch, drifting or completely silent.
While regular players vent their frustrations on Rockstar, others take the opportunity to make the most of it, as the almost empty cards provide a great opportunity to take some nice photos, or just relax from everything.
