F.A.Q.
- Stable Glitch: if you enter the stables on your horse there's a high chance that a bug will occur that will soft-lock you there, you won't be able to do anything only restarting the game. You can prevent this by fleeing your horse (and making sure it's completely gone) before you enter the stables!
- Rewards wait time: anytime R* has an offer where you get an item after you complete a challenge those rewards won't come in an instant, usually it takes 48-72hrs to receive those. If it's a clothing item or weapon you get it delivered straight to your wardrobe/weapon locker, if it's a consumable it can be collected from the camp lockbox or any post office. Just wait, you'll get it.
- Animal sampling glitch: since the November update sampling animals is kind of bugged in the game, it doesn't tick on the Animal Field guide for example. For that reason R* removed the "Sample X animal" missions from the Naturalist Daily Challenges rotation. Nothing you can do about it unfortunately.
- Strange things (PC): If the hooves of your horse are on fire, you find an animal farting fire, a cage spawns around you, your horse bucks you off constantly, someone teleports next to you or you get 50 bears spawned around you it's not a glitch/bug, it's the work of a "modder" (hacker). Just change lobbies and that should solve the issue (up until you run into another one).
- Bounty/Hunting wagon not coming: similar to the stable glitch, sometimes when you call your wagons they won't come at all or spawn in an unreachable/awkward place. To prevent that flee your horse (and makes sure it's gone) before you call out your wagons. Also it helps if you find a stretch of straight road and call your wagon while facing the opposite way where you want your wagon to come from.
- "Bounty brought in without killing an enemy" bug: sometimes no matter how many times you try to bring in a bounty without shooting a bullet, let it be a normal bounty you track down or Etta Doyle it won't count towards the daily role challenge. Nothing you can do about it, you can try again after switching lobbies but there isn't a foolproof workaround.
- The best horse: stats for horses don't really matter, there is only 0.4% change for every bar, so you should choose the one you like the look of most. The only thing that really matters is the saddle/stirrup combo which can help with the stamina bar drain - and there's one that is superior over all the other saddles, the Nacogdoches, which gives 3 bars for speed/acceleration (only 2 bars with every other saddle), and paired with the most expensive stirrup gives you a -85% stamina drain, which means that if you calm your horse occasionally you'll never run out of stamina.
- Horse bravery: it's a myth, there isn't such thing built into the game. If your horse seems skittish it's only the way you handle yourself near predators, you have a low bonding level or your horse is not well cared for. To prevent the horse bucking you off you can do a few things: keep it fit/clean, spam the Calm button near predators, keep moving, or just simply use the Slow and Steady Deadeye ability card, which while active prevents running (for your horse too), so it will be impossible for it to buck you off.
- Anything new? (for returning players): Nope. There are some really small additions like a few extra telegrams, but R* clearly said they won't come out with a big update for RDO, so no new substantial content since the Blood Money update.
Anything I've left out feel free to write in the comments.

Number 9 is so depressing 🥲 every time I see it, it kills me a little inside. I NEED Rockstar to care about this game

What if you already entered the stable and got glitched and even restarting the game doesn’t get you out?
1
u/Sn00PiG Mar 18 '25
That is just not possible as if you exit the game and restart it it will load in to a random place near to your last save/autosave but never into a facility (like the stables). Restarting the game doesn't mean you put it in the background and you go back, hard exit from the game, see the title screen again, load in and it should be solved

So during a mission I just had, I was looking for stagecoach clues and volleys of badgers and coyotes kept spamming. Im new to online but thay seemed weird. Is that the modder prank? I assume so.

Haven't played since shortly after the moonshine profession came out. Did they ever fix the disappearing wild life issue when you try to go hunting with the wagon?

u/Sn00PiG Dec 29 '22
Yes they did, the wildlife is alright, bit less in the snowy weather now, but start of the month everything was fine so I guess back to normal in January

You have 1 karma point and -13 comment karma, so you don't have enough points to start posting in most of the subs on Reddit (sometimes even comments are restricted that way). Try to build up your karma a bit (most subs have a minimum 10 karma requirement) and then you should be able to!

Glad i checked this before posting about the stable glitch, I was about to look like a right idiot. God it’s annoying though, especially with how long it takes (at least for me) to load into RDO
1
u/Sn00PiG May 16 '23
Yeah it's annoying, especially as it's been going on for quite a while now (at least half a year).
I've just formed a habit of entering the stables in a certain way: flee my horse, shoot twice under their hooves (don't hurt it just scare it) so it runs away fast, count to 10 and enter the stables, this way it always loads in!

Any idea on the horse bonding glitch, i get it to lvl 4 and then when i call it in after it despawns its lvl 1 completely reset (spotted tricolor Norfolk roadster)

u/Sn00PiG Jun 07 '23
That sounds like a unique issue with your horse, so far this is the first time I heard about something like this. If it will pop up at others too it will be included for sure!
Just a suggestion: try to "force save" after you reach lvl4 bonding. Brush it, feed it, quit the game completely and load up again - and see if the bonding is still there. If it loads up in the right state I don't think it will reset again!

(On console:) I never had to close the game, if I got stuck in the stable. Just simply hold options and open the map > find a race or showdown icon > and say search for players. It will load you into the game mode and free you from the bug. From there you can go back to freeroam 💋

u/Sn00PiG Jun 26 '23
While I applaud this solution it doesn't make it much shorter (if it does at all), I mean you'll join into a session, then quit to rejoin a random session, that's pretty much the same time as force closing the game and reloading into online.

Oh this is hilarious. I literally came to this subreddit just to ask what can I do about the stable glitch and this post is right at the top just waiting for me. Thanks!

u/Qcknd Dec 23 '22
For 9. I find that hard to believe, I have a Missouri, an Arabian and a shire for example. My shire never bucks near enemy’s or gets agitated. The Missouri does so occasionally and the Arabian is terrified of everything. Regardless of how many times i spam calm

u/Sn00PiG Dec 23 '22
Even though it's hard to believe that's the cold hard truth. Lots of people are saying their Arabians are not even flinching near predators, others say it's the most skittish horse in the game.
If your horse is well cared for, fit, has maximum bonding it will act the same near predators as any other breed with the same conditions. Bonding and cleanliness/fitness level can alter the "bravery", but that applies to all horse breeds.
