Red Dead Redemption Multiplayer Update
For anyone that's been experiencing issues in Red Dead Redemption online multiplayer, we've just enacted a fix which should help. Instructions for both platforms are below, along with a description of what's been addressed. If you still need assistance, please contact RDRsupport@rockstargames.com and make sure to include your platform and online ID.
We will continue to investigate any and all issues people may be having including the ones this update aims to fix. Thank you all for your patience and understanding as we work through this stuff.
This fix addresses a specific issue that was found where the player’s multiplayer avatar, their horse or their weapons would occasionally not be visible in multiplayer games as well as an issue that some players were experiencing where they would lose connection to the various multiplayer modes.
To apply the update on PlayStation 3:
You must be signed into a valid PlayStation Network ID and be connected to the PlayStation Network before starting the game up. If those two conditions are met, your PS3 will automatically download the update in the background and the game will apply the fixes when you start or join a multiplayer session.
To apply the update on Xbox 360:
You must be signed into a valid Xbox LIVE Gamertag and be connected to Xbox LIVE before starting the game up. If those two conditions are met, your Xbox 360 will automatically download the update in the background and the game will apply the fixes when you start or join a multiplayer session.
Thanks everyone and see you online...
When i do join a multiplayer game session, this writing is show up while i am playing, then i am joining a different session, then again, then again...
So i cant play multiplayer. Is anybody help me?
I'm still waiting for my score update on the leaderboards and my ps3 is still "burning" without being turned off for over 5 days.
DO SOMETHING! (my PSN ID: Jaakare)
I've wrote to "Rockstar Support" 5 hours ago asking to a quick fix on my score on the leaderboards, I understand you ppl may take ages to fix such a "complex" glitch but neither my patience or my ps3 are in the "catholic" mood to wait forever. I'm stucked in a free roam for 5 days and got a personal score of 1.008.218 plus a score of 411.060 made by my son. We're going for the "Free Roam Posse Score", "Free Roam Personal Score" and "1st place on Fort Mercer Hideout" (I am 3rd by now) and I can't turn off my ps3 (which is frying by now) or I'm gonna lose the score (free roam scores) but IT HASN'T BEEN UPDATED in the last 24 hours (since i had 600,578)! My son's score has been updated properly at the leaderboards, mine was till day 4 of the run then stopped, you OWE me over 400.000 at fort mercer, posse score and personal score LBs, DO SOMETHING B4 I LOSE MY CONNECTION (we know it's likely to happen in rdr any soon).
There you'll find a listing of phone numbers and e-mail addresses that will hopefully help in resolving your issues.
lets me into free roam sometimes but most of the time im left with the load screen with the message connection issues with other players,this happens 3 to 5 times then the screen just freezes and i have to turn it off.
i have sent e mails to rock star gamer support but have not received any reply.i have looked around the internet for a solution without any luck.
was surprised and annoyed to see that this problem has been going on for over a year now with out any fix or clear infomation from rockstar as to when these issues will be fixed.
if anyone has any info on how to fix this problem please leave a comment as rockstar dont seem to care about there exsisting customers..

Thanx to you all!
My name is Jaaka (psn ID: Jaakare) and I’m one of the serious players who have been playing Red Dead Redemption since the day it was released. I’ve been playing this game for so long that my I got my name on a few leaderboards top 10 such as: Venter’s Place (1st place – since the very first day, lost if for two weeks when my band went on tour and I couldn’t play but already got the 1st place back), Fort Mercer (3rd place – 1st place for 8 months), Nosalida (8th place), Critchley Ranch (9th place), Crooked Toes (9th place), Scratching Post (7th place), Cueva Seca (3rd place, 1st place for 5 months). I’m also on Top 20 at “Total Points” and Top 30 at “Undead Overrun”.
The reason I’m writing is because I have been talking to some of my friends (psn IDS: Swazie_Gamer, Mambinni, Iphilhower, iStiv, Brhino86, gscheidle, nail19, Cpt_AppIesause, BillyStreetPunk, Cool_C1 and a few others) as well as to random people I’ve met in public games (free roam mostly) and most of them (if not all) have been disapointed with Rockstar Games and Red Dead Redemption due to, obviously, the connection issues we all keep experiencing, some major and minor glitches that have never been fixed and some extra features we all keep dreaming about to be added in free roam games.
I don’t think most people would take their time to write and ask or suggest anything (a few do it tho) but, at least for me, Red Dead Redemption is the best game ever made and closelly followed by GTA IV and LA Noire (not to mention the older releases for different plataforms such as The Warriors, GTA San Andreas, GTA Vice City...) and, for that matter I think that, if I can’t count on Rockstar Games, who has been releasing the best games for so long, than there’s no reason to expect anything good to come out for the newer generations of games. So, from now on, I’m gonna relate some of the issues we have been experiencing as well as glitches and suggestions of simple content that most (if not all) of the community would be pleased to have added to Red Dead Redemption’s world.
1. Connection problems
First of all I’d like to mention that I’ve been playing on a 250GB Playstation 3 as well as on a 160GB Playestation 3, both american consoles and got 3 different disk releases of Red Dead Redemption and all dlc/add on content downloaded on both consoles.
My connection’s speed is about 8mb, cable (direct from the router or modem), Nat 2 type, all Red Dead Redemption’s ports forwarded (as in the instructions I’ve got from Rockstar Games) and both consoles are added to the DMZ section of the routers (when not using directly to a modem). There’s no firewall.
This is not the first time I write in a try to understand and maybe fix the connection issues so I can spend more time playing and less time on red screens but the fact is, even when we (my friends and I) do all the steps we are told to, the problems persist. 2 days ago I had no problems playing with Swazie_Gamer or Brhino86, yesterday I just couldn’t (we tryed for hours). Sometimes I can’t even accept a game invite from my 2nd console (using my wife’s ID) to my 1st console (both using the same connection and router, both added to dmz) but I have no problems playing Lan (using both consoles at the same time). The weird thing that is consuming my mind is that, we all (Me, Mambinni, Swazie_Gamer, Brhino86 ...) can play GTA IV online (as well as other non rockstar) with no problems.
Yesterday I tryed to change my router (all ways possible), used a different console, a different disk, changed my character and title, deleted the save files (copyed them to a pen drive), uninstalled and reinstalled the game and nothing worked. Also got my friends to do it (Swazie_Gamer and Brhino86) so, after all, I’m just lost here and need some help.
If you, rockstar games support crew, have any update in mind please let me know so I can also tell my friends and we can at least, stop trying to fix/change our connections which seems to be already good enough.
2. Major and Minor Glitches
Since the first day the online world of Red Dead Redemption was covered with graphical issues and glitches which, the way I see, were normal and acceptable considering the size of the map and the number of graphical elements acting together.
Some of them seem to be fixed by now (boxes “paying” 1000 XP in Pike’s Basin for an example) but some are still there and, after you see that same glitch or experience that same issue over and over, it starts to be annoying. I’m goint to list a few online glitches.
Radar/Mini Map Issues: For leaderboard scores it’s common to repeat a hideout (for an example) over and over and after some time (maybe about 20 replays) the radar stops working properly and most of the enemies stop appearing. We consider it as a minor glitch since it’s not that hard to leave the hideout and get back to have t

Your version of the game is not compatible...etc etc?
Why would you release an update that divides the RDR community in half? Most of my friends have the disc version, and I played with them all the time up until now. Is this a permanent thing, or will I get access to my friends sessions again? Can anyone help me out?
Could you please try to delete the games installation from your PS3, to do this:-
- Go to the XMB, this is the first screen you will see when you turn on the PS3 without a game inserted.
- Locating the Game section and then locating the Game Data Utility.
- Delete the game installation from this location (this will not effect your game saves).
- Connect your PS3 to the internet, sign in to the PS Network and re-install the game, when connected to the internet the PS3 will automatically update.
- If you have any DLC content you will have to re-download it from the Playstation Store and install it.
Note: For those who have a Xbox 360 and have this issue try performing the same task for your consoles.
Good luck guys hope this helps!
