Red Dead Redemption Receives Major Patch

Matt Wingler 20 Comments

A new patch is available for Red Dead Redemption that fixes a boatload of issues, both from the standard game and multiple expansions. Red Dead certainly wasn’t perfect when it first hit shelves.  In fact, it was buggier than a lollipop in an ant farm – but Rockstar went above and beyond to fix the game with several different patches.

Now, months after launch and a handful of expansions later, they’re still releasing fixes.  This latest patch is available now for both the PlayStation 3 and the Xbox 360.  See below for the complete list of repairs.

Red Dead Redemption:

  • The game no longer reboots when switching from MP to SP, or from regular SP to MP. Going to the main menu from any mode or leaving Undead Nightmare single player mode will still reboot (except Japan).
  • Lasso will now retract properly when thrown while riding fast on a horse.
  • Removed display message saying “This horse is now your trusty steed” when you hitch a horse that you already own.
  • Re-enabled world-wide multiplayer compatibility with Japan.
  • Fix for failing and retrying the mission You Shall Not Give False Testimony, Except for Profit where attempting to shoot the skull prevents John from using his gun until switching to an unarmed state and back.
  • Fix for Land Grab multiplayer mode where occasionally the match will start with the timer at 500 and the game doesn’t end and no XP is awarded.
  • Fix for player becoming stuck indefinitely when sitting at a certain Liar’s Dice chair in Casa Madrugada.
  • Fix for the host entering an unresponsive loading screen when client opts to join another session as the lobby timer reaches 0 seconds.
  • Fix for picking up opponents bag at the same time as it is returned to their chest, during a game of Grab the Bag.
  • Fix for issue that causes multiple mine carts to appear when replaying Gaptooth action area.
  • Fix for selecting private Free Roam during a barker countdown, which was causing a constant load.

Undead Nightmare DLC:

  • The Gunslinger Achievement/Trophy now recognizes zombies as enemies.
  • Fixed a disparity in the headshots and undead headshots stat when shooting zombie animals.
  • Fix for meter not advancing during Undead Overrun when one player leaves the game in progress.
  • Fix for player occasionally bonding with undead horses and the Four Horses of the Apocalypse.
  • Fix for occasional crashing or freezing in the Las Hermanas area & during the mission Mother Superior Blues.

Liars & Cheats DLC:

  • Fix for player becoming stuck indefinitely when sitting at certain Liar’s Dice chairs.
  • Fix for issues when a user is removed from a Liar’s Dice session due to connection issues with other players, but the camera remains in the dice game while the player is returned to Free Roam or chooses other game modes.
  • Fix for issues with obtaining The Big Bluff Achievement (Xbox 360 only).

Undead Nightmare Disc:

  • Original Game mode option removed from main menu.
  • Fix for 75 second delay before displaying an error message when installing on a system with a completely full hard disk (PS3 only).

  1. Sorry but “Rockstar went above and beyond to fix the game with several different patches” – I don’t insider that “above and beyond”, that’s fixing what they left broken!

    • *consider. Damn you autocorrect.

    • True words.

      But they could have just left it. It likely wouldn’t have affected how many units they moved.

      • Ahem, Fallout 3. That game came out as a game of the year with all it’s gamebreaking bugs intact.

      • Ubisoft style.

      • Yep, I’ve heard New Vegas is the same, I can’t imagine how problematic playing Skyrim will be.

  2. grrr I wish i didn’t trade this in for black ops

    • You poor, poor man :( We all make mistakes

  3. Good to see they are still working on it, but I can’t help but feel it is a bit late for more fixes now, it feels like it has been around for ages!

  4. With all its bugs RDR was still playable and enjoyable, however games like the new CoD are still shifting loads of units when the basics are broken.

  5. Have to say that i have not encountered a single one of these bugs! Maybe i’m just lucky.

  6. I picked this up cheap in November and started really getting into it but since GT5, nothing has had a sniff of action in the PS3. Once the obsession starts to wane, i’ll definitely get back to it.

  7. they need to fix the bloody match making.i can spend all day searching for quick matches to find im the only sod waiting to play.grrrrrrrrrr

  8. I barely noticed any bugs with RDR, it’s a fantastic game.

    • ive completed it to 100% and havnt seen one bug at all

  9. I logged over 50 hours playing RDR… I even achieved the allusive 100% achievement, and I barely noticed any bugs. Warts and all, RDR is an awesome game, and I can’t wait to see what’s coming next from Rockstar.

    • Agent is one of the next games from Rockstar. Cannot wait to see some footage of this game.

  10. I actually didn’t notice any of the glitches or bugs, but that is a hefty patch.
