Red Dead Redemption 2’s online mode is in a bit of an unfortunate state at the moment. Right now, players are compiling massive lists of bugs that are plaguing the experience following the latest patch.
The glitches plaguing Red Dead Redemption 2 and Red Dead Online range from harmless to extremely frustrating and players are showcases these issues online. In particular, the official Red Dead Redemption subreddit is full of players detailing the crazy glitches they’ve experienced.
There are a plethora of issues that players are reporting online after Red Dead Redemption 2’s latest patch. First and foremost, it seems that the update made horse AI much dumber than it was before. One Reddit user going by Zeldalullaby posted a short clip of themselves and a friend trying to escape griefers and police on horseback. However, instead of running away, the horse seems to glitch into a perpetual state of skidding across the ground while surrounded by a hail of gunfire.
Unfortunately, some of these issues seem to be leaking into the story mode for Red Dead Redemption 2. One user by the name of Blue_Moon_Cheese showed a video of Arthur riding a horse near a stream before coming to a stop near a deer glitching into a stream. While the glitch is visually very funny it’s also incredibly frustrating if player’s experiences with the game’s story mode suffered from these issues. Thankfully, it appears Rockstar Games is working to address these issues now.

Again, there are a handful of hilarious glitches interrupting player’s games, like a horse and carriage doing high-speed donuts in the middle of town. It seems a lot of glitches involve physics on large interactive objectives like horses and carriages. Additionally, many glitches seem to involve animals and wildlife, which is probably making things even more frustrating for players trying out the new naturalist role.
Ironically, players were recently protesting slow updates for Red Dead Redemption 2 by dressing up as clowns. Now, the game is looking like a bit of a circus online and offline. Hopefully, Rockstar can sort all these issues out in a timely manner so players can get back to enjoying the game’s massive and beautiful open world in peace once again.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
