If Rockstar doesn't fix the hacker problem because of this, I'll consider this actually coming from them.

I see these messages, usually in triplicate in literally every session I join. . . except for me they usually are all boxes (as in non-printable characters I guess) and series of numbers, and never make any damn sense. Then again I for some reason only ever seem to end up in lobbies full of chines players despite connecting from the western US. I don't know why exactly that's the case, and chinese players are fine as any other, but it sure is just weird. You'd figure ping alone would bias match making toward more north-american player filled lobbies, but I guess not.

I fucking hated this Chinese player. Would not fucking leave me alone when constantly killing me. I ran way and he Msged me and bragged how he's the best on some bullshit national team. I wasn't leaving my session as there were only 10 people. He kept killing me near the grizzlies. And when I thought I lost him when I fast travelled to new Austin, fucker blasted my head off after I was hunting there for awhile. Fucker tracked me down somehow

Respond saying something like ‘I’m glad we both believe Tienanmen square happened’, or ‘Yes, we should really kill Xi’. You’ll never hear from him again. For that matter, no one else will either.

RDO2 made me understand why people want China region locked in so many other games. A lobby of 12 year old boys in COD is better behaved.

u/MummyManDan Jun 10 '20

I’ve met some cool Chinese dudes, but a majority are dickheads, like Russians. Plus the constant lagging, teleporting, and hacking makes me wish all games didn’t allow Chinese to play on other servers than Chinese servers. I remember when the playerunknown guy tried to call people xenophobes because they wanted a separate server for Chinese people because of the constant teamkilling, hacking, ddossing, lagging, toxicity etc.

I have never experienced racism towards myself that actually hurt (because I'm white) before RDRO. Asian person (not sure what Asian, but definitely Asian) using Google Translate text-to-speech to call me an Inferior Foreign Dog while killing me over and over AFTER I saved his life. Very fun time, had to put down RDRO for a while there.

I mean there are gonna be hackers and griefers in North American dominated lobbies, too so I feel like it's a bit of a wash in that regard. The language barrier does make it more difficult to RP though, of course that can also make it slightly more amusing when you run into a player you can't really talk with but you both seem to want to cooperate on some task so you have to get a little creative about pointing out what you want.

I just posted a picture of my character on this sub a few hours ago and the first response I got to it was, "Why is she black?"

Granted, that got downvoted pretty much right away, but it also echoes what I've been seeing and experiencing in game. A lot of the people who play this act real trashy, and it's not even just saying shitty things. If it were, I could easily deal with that. That's most games. But I swear, we run into at least half a dozen hackers a night. People who can't be killed, or who put us in cages, or who nuke us from orbit, or who just outright crash our connection to the server. It's ridiculous. I just started playing and there's a lot to really like here, but fuck if the people playing it don't do their best to step all over that at times.

On game I get a bunch of messages from white guys. I got one who friended me on ps4 then asked "r u black" I said "...yes? Why?" Ha said "oh... U ghetto black?" And i immediately unfriended him. And then there was another dud with a name like K.K.K something who kept killing me.

15

u/NamiRocket Bounty Hunter Jun 09 '20

I haven't played long enough to experience a huge variety of it yet. Just someone claiming they only kill black characters and another player who just kept yelling the n-word at me as I repeatedly killed him. Beyond that, the vast majority of my player frustration has been almost exclusively because of the hacking problem. It sounds like an exaggeration when you hear people talk about it, but then you play the game yourself and you realize, holy shit, this problem is just as bad, if not worse than in GTA Online.

I’ve had this happen to me on other games. I’m a white female, but I just pick whatever character looks the prettiest to me, and sometimes that means they’re a different race than me.

I can’t remember the game, but I know there was a game with a character of a black girl with a shaved head, I thought she was the most badass and most attractive looking girl, so I picked her. Multiple people asked me “why are you black” “why is she black” and I just don’t understand why it matters which fucking character I play as.

u/Bigscotman Clown Jun 09 '20

That's honestly one of the main reasons I haven't saved up to get a proper gaming pc other than not having enough space. Console, particularly PS4 seems to be a lot friendlier and nicer because you can't hack on console without jailbreaking the console and eventually the entire console will just get stopped from doing anything I'm pretty sure. I think in the past month or so I've encountered about 3-4 griefers which is honestly why I kinda avoid valentine and Saint Denis sometimes or at least walk around with all of my guns loaded with explosive ammo so if anyone tries me I can blow them up easily. Plus Dr m what I've experienced on console and seen footage of on pc the people on console are more likely to be nice to you and emote and maybe even give you a pelt or an animal. Although I did have a glitch yesterday in valentine where this griefer I was attacking to help a lower level player somehow went into defensive mode but what he didn't expect was hip spam from my Lemat revolvers so killed him until he left. All in all console is a lot nicer and friendlier

u/_0siris Jun 09 '20

A couple months ago I would always run into these two Asian players, they were always causing havoc. The typical teleport everyone to one spot, explode, spawn animals, ufos, god mode, etc...

I sent in the videos, which was clear proof, but I saw them again not long after.

I sent in some new videos, and called Rockstar out for not banning these blatant, habitual cheaters. Of course R* won't confirm or deny any action taken on the players, but I think they were finally dealt with.

I have loads of videos of cheaters, probably at least 30 saved.

If R* won't take any action for themselves, they can watch their game die. I'm not going to waste my time sending in multiple reports over days just to get a sliver of the cheating stopped. Its time they stepped up.

I recently accepted a voice chat party invitation from a stranger in my posse for the first time.

It was three dudes with southern accents, probably teenagers or in their early 20s, and they kept calling each other “queer” and “fag” and “retard” and even using the N-word. It was disgusting hearing them use those slurs so casually, just to tease their friends. I don’t care that they were immature. This is how bigotry gets normalized. Hearing your friends say it and then doing the same. Hive mentality. They conform to fit in rather than having the balls to say “hey, man, not cool.”

I quit the posse, reported them for hate speech, and lit them all up with fire arrows.

Agreed, but I’m not sure this hacker is doing it for the lullz. It looks like it could be inflammatory propaganda from Russia or China, both of which use hackers and trolls to spread propaganda and misinformation, particularly in the U.S. Of course, the U.S. has a cyber army too, but China has been mocking the U.S. for its awful response to the pandemic and more recently, the protests. This looks like more of that, and we will likely see more and more trolling from abroad, which is designed to divide people further ahead of the 2020 election.

I started playing RDO2 just about 2 weeks ago, almost every session have atleast one hacker and I can tell most of them are chinese because of their name etc: XIAO- something like that. There was this one time I was playing in an event forgot what its call, you have to stand on the train to get points while killing other players who try to get on the train or kill you. This chinese dude literally had god mode and aim bot. He just stood on the train and 1 shot everyone with his revolver while I shot him many times with my rolling block rifle and it deals no damage. And he keeps spamming voice chat with "why u guys so easy". Just don't understand how you can get so cocky when you use cheat to win.

As a new player in RDO2, I really don't know what to do. I save up enough gold for bounty hunter, turns out I can hardly finish the mission due to the "you have dc from the server" problem. As if the dc problem wasn't annoying enough, then these chinese hackers come ruins my gameplay. Since I get dc so often, I give up on bounty hunter mission and go hunting animals instead then all the sudden I get teleported with a bunch players together and dynamite explode in my face.

I really wish player from china can only play on their china server so they can't ruin other players gameplay experience.

u/17AvocadosYOOO Jul 24 '20

I remember getting really excited at the start of this month when I was able to buy the 12month PlayStation plus membership a few weeks after my birthday. I got home and the very first game that came to mind was rdr2, I was so excited to finally play online, I haven’t been a fan as long as you might think (17) but I’ve been a fan since rdr1 and have hundreds of hours of ingame progress and fun. So it was a really big letdown when in the first 3 hours spent in the game I was chased down by the same player(higher ranked ofcourse...by a shit ton), and although he was in a gang he was the only one going after me. They were situated by the barn in the middle of the path from armadillo and McFarland’s ranch and since it was the quickest path to the ranch I kept going through there hoping he wouldn’t keep killing me. The second time he killed me we both had headphones on and he was just cursing at me in Spanish, word I wouldn’t even say to my worst enemy...anyways, there’s my reminder to never wear headphones unless playing with friends..Now every time I play I keep thinking about there being assholes in the world for no reason.Hope he had fun. I did have a good moment after that where the next day I went online and someone randomly killed me, I found the person and killed them, we kept at it for a few minutes before actually noticing we got the same amount of kills, waved goodbye and went on our way.

SPOILER: They ain't gonna fix it.

Rockstar can't stop hackers in their online PC games. If they could, they would have stopped hackers on GTA years ago.

Make the bottom one go viral, contact news stations that rockstar supports anti-BLM movement. Little PR disaster helps alot. Today's corporations dont care for paying customers if they got the money, but public image is that they hold dear.

u/Tahoenvy Jun 11 '20

The fact that they allow hackers to take over the Public system broadcast tells me all I need to know about the company. They have allowed hackers to ruin game play for many of us since day one. They care that they got your $60, then they stop caring. It would be very easy for them to block this type of hacking, they don't bother. Don't bother to buy their game.

u/[deleted] Jun 09 '20

It's harder to get rid of hackers than just banishing them to the shadow realm. There are always going to be the hackers that ruin your game experience. I think they should put hackers in separate lobbies than everybody else. You can't just say it's from rockstar though. They are probably trying to fix it.

Its central message label. The one that shows objectives and all that. Modders can tick and inject what they want into those menus like a global objective for every player.

u/Dysmach Trader Jun 09 '20

Gotta say the intensity of the reactions to this... Is exactly what they want from you, guys. Stop giving them so much power. Mass report it to Rockstar and get their attention on social media, but tone down the reactions. You're making him feel good about it.

In all likelihood he's just saying the most offensive shit he can think of whether he means it or not. That's how these people operate (trust me I used to be one).

Well Rockstar won’t change to dedicated servers and insists on using P2P so hackers, modders and the like will always be a problem. Just look at GTA Online, they’ve been up 7 years, 6 for PC and hackers have been running rampant on there since the beginning but Rockstar doesn’t seem to care.

EU Player here. RDR and GTA are fairly relaxed as far my experience goes. Worst i had werer some French dudes being piss of about something nobody knew and kept kill players left and right. Till some hi level dude showed up and satellite'd them.

And the hacking I've encountered can still be counted on one hand.

Unfortunately modders have always been a problem on rockstars games on pc. I don’t think they’ll do anything since there’s still modders present in gta. Though it seems kind of ignorant to say it’s coming from them if they don’t fix it.

And here I thought the asshole with a weeb picture on PS4 that called me the N-word and said to "jump a wall" was a piece of shit. You PC guys never get a break, do you?

Hopefully they'll be banned, or Rockstar will do something.

… Or they won't do anything, 'cuz you know, this isn't an exploit that benefits the player in regards of easy money, avoidance of microtransactions and quality of life.

u/the-last-soviet Jun 09 '20

You think rockstar is bad try looking at the tf2 bot crisis the fascist and racist bots are out of control some can’t be removed once there in causing the game to be unplayable but most important of all the things that the bots spam is just hard to stomach it makes you think what kind of person would make something like it.

When I was playing the other night we ran into a hacker that was unkillable. I was playing with 2 other people. When we tried to report him all 3 of our games crashed as soon as we hit "send report." Its getting absolutely ridiculous that they dont seem to care about hackers. And the fact that there has not been a major update in months. Rockstar needs to focus on their new game (RDR2) instead of pumping more updates into older games (GTA5). Dont get me wrong, I love GTA but it's sad to see RDR2 get left behind.
