Seems to work as of 4.25.2024 Logged into RDO for the first time in ages with a close friend - within 15 minutes hackers had ruined the fun. This is great. Don't mind the message R* gives when launching.
I just did this and its not making solo lobby for me. :/ made it to work. the txt didnt go to meta file type. i re-did everything again and again until it noticed how i want to save the file (yes i choose all files every time).
Fr.. I'm tired of jackoffs dragging out a minute tutorial into some 10 min thing; plus not asking for subs/likes.. you deserve it just for being what should be the norm man
Thank god for this video, man. Straight to the point, 60 seconds, no filler, and still works perfectly as of the time of writing this. Shame Rockstar still won't do anything about the rampant cheaters in public lobbies, but now at least I won't have to worry about being randomly teleported 200 feet into the air, having a dozen invulnerable NPCs spawned on me, or having my moonshine/trade wagon tossed into a cliffside.
Or having the camp disabled completely, sidequest scripting broken, inability to summon or control my honse, the game forcibly crashed or any other number of annoying things a hacker might be able to do. Or potentially damaging shit like forcefully edit your money so the system bans you. Or do something that completely breaks story progression for you (haven't seen that one but it wouldn't surprise me...)
You are a legend. I was battling multiple problems, both online, and single player. This literally 1min video fixed everything. No BS, just straight knowledge. You are the man!
Theres some mods that spawn items or camps normal players dont have access to. When they spawn in it kills the game for everyone else in the loby. As well it sometimes glitches out basic quests like the bounty boards ect ect@illegalproductconsumer702
@@JaredAF I have used this for a few days in a row now.. I've never seen so many random events, animal spawns and legendary animals in just a few sessions. Trader and moonshiners roll are now cake, thank you man 🗿🖤👑
@@BigChillenXD share it with your friends. Like I said in the video as well, you can send them the file and you guys can play in a private server together.
I just bought RDO, this is my first day playing. I viewed the Player List, and saw some dude with a level 999 so I reported him for hacking. He then teleported next to me and screamed in his mic (its a lil kid) "i blocked your report! crash time!" then my game crashed. Thanks for this video, it works, and I'll never play in a public lobby again.
I am level 530 and have seen others at 850 not every high level player is a hacker, I like grinding and rdr2 is great for grinding, keep your trader and moonshining going 100% and in between do bounties and dailies for gold and collecting for cash and exp.
I got lucky then, I simply just wave at random stuff coming at me, and one guy was the cheater, and he morphed into Jack, using Bolt action killing bears. He then morphed into Arthur Morgan and got NPCs, from animals to town folks, randomly flying around like it's some crazy fairy tale scene. Imo, it's fun and stupid until they just start tapping into the codes and want to find troubles, like srsly, why Rockstar makes their games so easy to be hacked in the first place?

My friend bought RDR2 and we wanted to play online together. As soon as he joined my lobby a hacker appeared and started putting my friend in cages. So it was a horrible first few minutes of the game. I can't believe Rockstar have given up on this game. So sad. Thank you for this method, we will use it to play without assholes ruining the game.
Still working as of March 2023. Thank you so much for this. I was crying tears of joy like Cartman when he had his own amusement park. Saved the game for me.
Just tested this out today. This is definitely the best PvE solution for RDO I've found so far. It's such a shame that hackers have ruined the PvP aspect of this game. Just adding some extra notes: When adding the password, make sure there are no spaces in or around the password. Use ctrl+a to highlight all the text in notepad to double check there are no spaces.
@@onlypvpcaterina-6669 I put mine in in place of the word "Password" that he used and my lobby works just fine except for 1 small thing that is quite major. I'm going to post a separate post in a second about.
@@DjPorkchop73 Many thanks, I have the modnexus one on now, You simple copy the lobby name and password of your friends and you both instantly load into the same lobby, Same thing i know pretty much, And you can change on the go with profiles, Bit it is finally nice to have peace and quiet online, Finally we beat the mod menu users at their own game and they will eventually only be in lobbies of their own kind 😅
This genuinely fixed almost all the problems I've been having with the game (minus the persistent bugs or idiotic game design choices). But aside from just allowing me to completely avoid players, especially the ones I obviously don't want to anything to do with, playing with this fixes a substantial amount of issues and general jank with the game. The things I've noticed from playing a few hours so far, for example: 1. Bodies and carcasses don't disappear when I dare to wander more than 10 meters away, so I don't have to focus on skinning or looting while in a gunfight, before the game just takes them away from me before I've had a chance to do so (I'm assuming this is because the de-spawn radius is greatly increased with you being the only player in the session, or one of very few, if you play with friends) 2. When I enter my Moonshine Shack, I no longer have that stupid shit happen where no NPC's spawn, including Maggie and Marcel, and I would have to just exit and enter repeatedly until the game finally decided to spawn them in as well 3. I no longer just stand in the middle of the stables if I dared to walk in without having my horse flee before entering, and also giving it a minute or so to actually de-spawn after sending it away I'm sure there are a ton of other such nice little nuggets that shouldn't be a problem to begin with, and I look forward to seeing what other things work properly now. Thanks a ton for this, brought a genuine smile to my face!
@@Mommyof4angels247 at the end of the startup.meta file (make sure it's a META-file and not a .txt-file) I added a new line containing a random password from a password generator. **indian accent** Mister, did you restart your computer? 😅Did you check the file is in the correct location?
YOU ARE THE GOAT! thank you for the 1 minute straight to the point no rambling video that makes it super easy to understand even for an idiot like me. your video deserves more likes and you deserve more subs!
@@NsLHD you won't get a private server. But! You will share servers with people who embedded the same code given in this video's description. However, when you check the players in the server, there are very few players and none of them seem to be griefers and hackers/modders (so far from what I've experienced 1 week playing since embedding this code). My take is that I could finally carry out my missions and grind without having to worry about hackers or griefers sabotaging my operations. In conclusion, YES this works and because of this I was able to play this game online with my girlfriend as it is our virtual dating platform when we're far away. I've never been so happy to have discovered a solution to these hacker/modder and griefer problem (hopefully a permanent solution).
Thank you so much! I have high functioning autism and feel super uncomfortable and shitty in public lobbies. This has helped so much you are the best dude! Love from Florida!

awesome work dude I almost quit the game like GTA5 due to modding griefers but now I have this me and my buddies can play without cheating scumbags ruining the fun just wanted to say thanks and give you a massive thumbs up
Thanks again, you deserve this, if I didn't find this video, I would not be able to play with my girlfriend, and it's such a beautiful game to play together, it could be all ruined because of a stupid cheater that teleported to us and killed us every session, now he's gone. Such a relief. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but I feel so happy now
I normally don't like and subscribe. Only to those who don't waste my time with a fine min intro to a 40 second tutorial.... Thank you matey. You're one of the good ones.
This is unbelievably good work man! I have no idea why they haven't added private sessions to this game but they did on GTA 5. I haven't played this in a while and decided to try RDO again. Full of hackers and broken missions that won't even start! Rockstar can't figure it out. Yet here I find your fix, I tried it and it fixed those issues first try! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I can finally play with my friend with out any random *beeps* spoiling our game! Only wish I had found your video earlier!!! Again, thanks!
Absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you so much for providing this helpful way. I was getting very frustrated today when a hacker was griefing me. I couldn't do anything. The game was unplayable. This "personal" server for friends is EXACTLY what I was wanting, where you don't have to worry about other players killing you or interrupting your missions, and have the NPC missions. Don't have to deal with RedM toxicity.If this could not be done, I don't think I would be playing this game much.
2024 and bought the game for online play day of release. Became so unplayable after a couple of months online that I uninstalled. Looked up all these years later to see if they had added private lobby's or pve option against hackers and found your video. You have reinvented this game fore. Thank you! I can finally play online IN PEACE ❤
This is perfect, thank you! Still working. We were getting ambushed by griefers every time, and getting the FFFF error every 30min, now with this, we had a 6 hour session, no issues whatsoever.
I started playing RDO for 2 weeks now and I thought it was a bug. After tons of searching, I found out that those MFs hackers keep exploding me. I didn't know you could do a solo lobby until I saw it on Reddit. Thank you for this video, it works for me.
Still working at the end of March 2023. This was a game changer for me. With this you can just chill/farm and then when you want just move the file out and open RDO and you are public again.
Thanks for the easy instructions and straight forward video. Always nice not having to watch 30 mins of video to see the 20 seconds you actually need. Awesome video, thanks again.
It's working for me, but my friends cannot join me. I've sent them the file, but it seems like they load on a different private server. Did it happen to you ? I placed my passwork where he's put his and there is no random space... Idk what's wrong.
It still works in 17/06/2023. benefits of this system for solo play: no more black loading screens, no more sudden game crashes, no more long loading for tasks, no more bounty loading problems, there are more animals in the world for the trader, lures to hunt animals finally work, moonshine has no more loading problems and all business works without bugs or crashes, none of the tryhard players or hackers bother you, more random activities appear in the game world . I think I forgot some other benefits in this list, however the game changes considerably by applying this system of solo play. it has practically become as it should be and brings out its full potential in this way. God bless you for show this
Just got into RDO a month ago or so and GOD DAMN I've had a decent time except for any and all interaction with players, esspecially hackers. One of them gave me some gold once but the rest either blew me up, teleported into the ocean or glitched out my game. Thanks a lot for this, Yer a real good fella!
Went into a public lobby after months of using this method, and it instantly reminded me why I stayed away for so long. Hope they don't ever patch this.
This is one of the few games I can get my wife to play with me. The problem we had was public lobbies, in general, and getting CTD every 20 minutes. Having some asshole spawn a puma on us. Just ... garbage. Anyway... I tested the file out myself, and now, we can FINALLY fucking play together without having a goddamn problem. Even better is? No ban. =) You, Jared, are a fuggin' wizard. Cheers.
@@3orz you've probably figured it out already but you put the same code where he wrote "password" throws anyone that uses "password" into the same session
Just started playing rdr2o like 3 days ago, about three sessions and I'm looking for ways to just play alone cause rockstar cant find a way to keep hackers and modders out... but this is working for me and I love it! Liked and subbed
I tried it at first being kinda lazy and using the word "password" and eventually had 8 or 9 players in my session :D I figure these are all people who did the same lol. So there is an accidental crew of people wanting to escape griefers landing up in their own community. Pretty cool... but also losing out on the full benefits of being truly solo in a fresh session which are many. Events, spawns, everything just where it ought to be and plentiful. Thought I'd point this out since I thought it "wasnt working" properly... then it dawned on me :D
@@JaredAF freaking awesome tip/trick/hack man, thank you so much. I was even chuffed with the pretty laborious methods before, but just launching straight into solo AND having option to make private sessions like GTA is just gold man.. A+++
Thank you so much. I was playing with my girlfriend, we love the game, but a hacker was teleporting to us and annoying us the whole time. Now we play peacefully, just me and her. I am so thankful to you, you saved the game, we can now play. I am so happy, oh my God
Still works, and only way you can play the game. If they remove this it means you basically can't play the game with the amount of cheaters. Then it practically should be just removed off steam
@@thejfus Tons of people have been banned for not even doing anything. It's very unfortunate. Rockstar ditches the game and comes back with a ban wave... Kinda bs
The fact Rockstar are obviously aware of the modders ruining online for people yet haven't added a friends only mode is abysmal. I'm sure it's lost them many players
I don't have plans to play RDO right now but I just have to appreciate your world, bro. Thanks so much, probably the person who more cared about RDO comparising with Rockstar
I just started playing RDO, and in my first four hours I've seen alligators the size of houses, UFOs, my horse spontaneously combusting, an unkillable asshole and somehow managed to crash to desktop three or four times after that.. I've requested a refund but man... so much potential and I don't get why RS doesn't just allow us the option to create private servers without all the hassle, if they won't bother doing anything about cheaters - then let ppl play with friends..
I’m subscribing to you just because this video got straight to the point and didn’t waste my time - Also worked like a charm so thank you sir! Still working in the year 2024
Finally able to play again. It's impossible to play in public, it's crazy how many cheating/griefing losers this games attracts. They nonstop crashed my game or bombed me repeatetly so the only option is to alt+f4, cant even switch sessions while being bombed nonstop. I really dont understand these kinds of people and what makes such lowlife behaviour fun to them. Guess were on our own in a solo session, thanks tho mate!
Came across this video on steam. Hopefully this will work with the random crashes i’ve been experiencing every hour. 🙏 EDIT: Thank you so much for this!! turned out to be modders/hackers crashing my game, now i can finally play in peace
Great video! This is so by far the best method. The problem though is my file path wasn't the same. Some of you may not have x64 folder and data folder in file path on video. Go to your game in Steam, right click on RDR2 and select properties, installed files and then at top right hit 'browse' to find where your files are located. I installed my game in D drive and Steam is in C drive. This is probably why. Anyway, if this same thing happened to you, use above method to find installed folder and then look for the x64 and then data folder. Put meta file in data folder. Worked for me. Much thanks.
Thank you so much. Started from scratch on pc and my experience was totally ruined by hackers. Was about to just quit for real. And thanks for going straight to the point 👍 really appreciate it
I can't stand the hackers in this game. They are so annoying. They will just mess with you nonstop. Constantly trying to interrupt your gameplay bc they think they are funny. When in reality the only person having fun is them.
thanks it's working like a charm, hackers crashed my games 3 times in period of 30 minutes lmao, now i have nothing to worry about and can continue with my collectors route
I think they didn't want to admit they can't control the hackers. They probably hoped that we would just consider them as isolated incidents and move on. They eventually did it with GTA O, but they don't seem to care that much for RDRO.
if you have gotten all possible legendaries causing a 72 hour cooldown so your unable to spawn any more which I've realised is the case as I could not get my second legendary elk but as soon as 72 hours hit i was able to. If a friend is in your private server can legendaries spawn eventhough you have a cooldown since they haven't encountered the animal or do they need to make a private server and I join them in order to encounter those animals. Thanks for this 60 sec tip btw absolute savior.
Still working on the 7th sep 2024. Thank you ! This helps me to have some time with friend away from the real world where im dealing with the toughest times of my life. My girlfriend had just passed away at a very young age, I used to show her how great this game was and it is truly sad to face the fact that she can no longer join this with me.

I normally don't like and subscribe. Only to those who don't waste my time with a fine min intro to a 40 second tutorial.... Thank you matey. You're one of the good ones.
This is unbelievably good work man! I have no idea why they haven't added private sessions to this game but they did on GTA 5. I haven't played this in a while and decided to try RDO again. Full of hackers and broken missions that won't even start! Rockstar can't figure it out. Yet here I find your fix, I tried it and it fixed those issues first try! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much! I can finally play with my friend with out any random *beeps* spoiling our game! Only wish I had found your video earlier!!! Again, thanks!
Absolutely Amazing!!! Thank you so much for providing this helpful way. I was getting very frustrated today when a hacker was griefing me. I couldn't do anything. The game was unplayable. This "personal" server for friends is EXACTLY what I was wanting, where you don't have to worry about other players killing you or interrupting your missions, and have the NPC missions. Don't have to deal with RedM toxicity.If this could not be done, I don't think I would be playing this game much.
Thanks to you now i can play in solo lobby with my friends without errors, bugs, crashes and cheaters and the rest is good so far. You are a SAVER
2024 and bought the game for online play day of release. Became so unplayable after a couple of months online that I uninstalled. Looked up all these years later to see if they had added private lobby's or pve option against hackers and found your video. You have reinvented this game fore. Thank you! I can finally play online IN PEACE ❤
You may have just single handedly saved this game for me
This is perfect, thank you! Still working. We were getting ambushed by griefers every time, and getting the FFFF error every 30min, now with this, we had a 6 hour session, no issues whatsoever.
Waaaaaait!? There is more people out there that doesn't talk about their lives and like / sub for 10 minutes before getting to the point?! WELL DONE.
yeah...
I started playing RDO for 2 weeks now and I thought it was a bug. After tons of searching, I found out that those MFs hackers keep exploding me. I didn't know you could do a solo lobby until I saw it on Reddit. Thank you for this video, it works for me.
Still working at the end of March 2023. This was a game changer for me. With this you can just chill/farm and then when you want just move the file out and open RDO and you are public again.
Can you play with friends?
@@SilverStallion.eSports ... fr.. its a 60 second video.. go watch it
Im so sick of stupid chinese no life modders, Im gonna try this tomorrow
@@rahmat1234 its the best thing ever
I did this and am playing solo but I'm trying to do the collector role and can't find the items. Does this not work like this?
Works 2024. No crashes, no camp bug, no missions bug and no hackers. Dude, you made my week.
hey did you get also the message that you will get banned using unoficiall modifications?
Thanks. it helped me a lot. Now i don't need to be angry cuz of hackers, and my game stoped crashing. THANK YOU!
Absolutely amazing! Just got into RDO yesterday and I was getting ERROR FFFF non stop due to people using mods… Thank you so much!!
Thanks for the easy instructions and straight forward video. Always nice not having to watch 30 mins of video to see the 20 seconds you actually need. Awesome video, thanks again.
Still working as of October 21st, 2024, nice short and sweet video with all the needed information
It's working for me, but my friends cannot join me. I've sent them the file, but it seems like they load on a different private server. Did it happen to you ?
I placed my passwork where he's put his and there is no random space... Idk what's wrong.
It still works in 17/06/2023. benefits of this system for solo play: no more black loading screens, no more sudden game crashes, no more long loading for tasks, no more bounty loading problems, there are more animals in the world for the trader, lures to hunt animals finally work, moonshine has no more loading problems and all business works without bugs or crashes, none of the tryhard players or hackers bother you, more random activities appear in the game world . I think I forgot some other benefits in this list, however the game changes considerably by applying this system of solo play. it has practically become as it should be and brings out its full potential in this way. God bless you for show this
Subbed just for this video. No bs, clear to the point. Thanks mate.
Just got into RDO a month ago or so and GOD DAMN I've had a decent time except for any and all interaction with players, esspecially hackers. One of them gave me some gold once but the rest either blew me up, teleported into the ocean or glitched out my game. Thanks a lot for this, Yer a real good fella!
Thanks, JaredAF. Actually playing the game without constant worry of suddenly 'exploding without end' is so pleasant! Really appreciate this Howto.
did you not get a message about R* finding Unexpected files?
DUDE YOU ARE A HERO!!!! this has upped me and my buddies enjoyment of RDO 5x!
This method saved the game for me. Animals weren't spawning and hacker's were ruining the game for me. That's so much
what a legend . straight to the point . i love people who value other peoples time . subbed
Thank you so damn much! Breathed life back into the abandoned RS online trainwreck
Thank you SO MUCH for this! Finally can play RDR2 online without griefers ruining it! Working as of early March 2023.
Dude! You've made the game fun again. Thank you so much!
Still works as of 10 Dec 23.
Went into a public lobby after months of using this method, and it instantly reminded me why I stayed away for so long. Hope they don't ever patch this.
It sucks that this is how you have to get around being booted every 15 minutes. Thanks for the quick tutorial man.
I'm crying right now. I love this game and quit because of hackers, to finally be able to play without them after so many years.
This worked for my brother and I, we have our own lobby to hang out in without modders making things difficult. Thank you very much 👍
You sir, are a capeless hero!... Thank you a thousand times and more you just saved my sanity!
Works like a charm! You are the best!! "She went to Jared" and can now play RDO without anxiety! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is one of the few games I can get my wife to play with me.
The problem we had was public lobbies, in general, and getting CTD every 20 minutes.
Having some asshole spawn a puma on us.
Just ... garbage.
Anyway...
I tested the file out myself, and now, we can FINALLY fucking play together without having a goddamn problem.
Even better is?
No ban. =)
You, Jared, are a fuggin' wizard.
Cheers.
Thanks!
Yo how did ub start playing with ur wife in the private server, i want to play with my gf
@@3orz you've probably figured it out already but you put the same code where he wrote "password" throws anyone that uses "password" into the same session
Just started playing rdr2o like 3 days ago, about three sessions and I'm looking for ways to just play alone cause rockstar cant find a way to keep hackers and modders out... but this is working for me and I love it! Liked and subbed
thank you so much atp i cant deal with theese modders anymore every lobby i go in is just a bunch of modders
I effing love you man. This is the kind of stuff that secures you a VIP spot in heavens most prime real estate.
I tried it at first being kinda lazy and using the word "password" and eventually had 8 or 9 players in my session :D I figure these are all people who did the same lol. So there is an accidental crew of people wanting to escape griefers landing up in their own community. Pretty cool... but also losing out on the full benefits of being truly solo in a fresh session which are many. Events, spawns, everything just where it ought to be and plentiful. Thought I'd point this out since I thought it "wasnt working" properly... then it dawned on me :D
Lol! I imagined people would end up doing that.
@@JaredAF freaking awesome tip/trick/hack man, thank you so much. I was even chuffed with the pretty laborious methods before, but just launching straight into solo AND having option to make private sessions like GTA is just gold man.. A+++
@@colinaron8396 Happy to help, go forth and spread the word!
@@JaredAF I got a warning message that "unexpected files found in install directory" could lead to ban etc. Is this normal and nobody has been banned?
@@colinaron8396 Yes others have reported the same and so far no bans
Thank you so much. I was playing with my girlfriend, we love the game, but a hacker was teleporting to us and annoying us the whole time. Now we play peacefully, just me and her. I am so thankful to you, you saved the game, we can now play. I am so happy, oh my God
Still works, and only way you can play the game. If they remove this it means you basically can't play the game with the amount of cheaters. Then it practically should be just removed off steam
you have saved me from countless stress in public lobby and for that i thank you!
Love this man now. Still works 12/8/2023
Apparently people are getting banned for this now
source? @aj_deadshow
@@thejfus Tons of people have been banned for not even doing anything. It's very unfortunate. Rockstar ditches the game and comes back with a ban wave... Kinda bs
@@shifty0141 i mean yeah, true. rockstar just left red dead and thats sad because it had an enormous potential
@@AJ_Deadshow im not banned and i use it. But then again i really do not play very often, so i might just slipped away.
can confirm that this STILL WORKS as of 20/8/24. thank you very much, i was just about to uninstall rdr2 again 💀
The fact Rockstar are obviously aware of the modders ruining online for people yet haven't added a friends only mode is abysmal. I'm sure it's lost them many players
brilliant thank-you, hackers are still an issue and this still works, chad man
it actually worked!! FINALLY ONE THAT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so much bro! Ever since the december 'update' the game would just keep crashing for me but this fully fixed it.
Happy new years!
12/3/23. still works thanks man
This 100% works. You are the best.
Many thanks!!!!
still works as of 09/30/23 just keep in mind you cant matchmake while in a solo lobby
I don't have plans to play RDO right now but I just have to appreciate your world, bro. Thanks so much, probably the person who more cared about RDO comparising with Rockstar
I just started playing RDO, and in my first four hours I've seen alligators the size of houses, UFOs, my horse spontaneously combusting, an unkillable asshole and somehow managed to crash to desktop three or four times after that.. I've requested a refund but man... so much potential and I don't get why RS doesn't just allow us the option to create private servers without all the hassle, if they won't bother doing anything about cheaters - then let ppl play with friends..
On first i say this is fake, then i try and its working, thank you and liked the video!!
It sucks that people have to do this to avoid the rampant hackers in RDO.
I’m subscribing to you just because this video got straight to the point and didn’t waste my time - Also worked like a charm so thank you sir!
Still working in the year 2024
tried this on 10/28/2022 and it still works👍👍 thank you so much!
WOW! I haven't been able to do Moonshine or Trader deliveries in over a month and now they work again after using this script. Thanks!
Finally able to play again. It's impossible to play in public, it's crazy how many cheating/griefing losers this games attracts. They nonstop crashed my game or bombed me repeatetly so the only option is to alt+f4, cant even switch sessions while being bombed nonstop. I really dont understand these kinds of people and what makes such lowlife behaviour fun to them.
Guess were on our own in a solo session, thanks tho mate!
Wanna play togheter?
Tried it, and it worked! Thank you. I did some long distance traders delivery, and collectors role in peace. Game didn't glitched or crashed so far.
Came across this video on steam. Hopefully this will work with the random crashes i’ve been experiencing every hour. 🙏
EDIT: Thank you so much for this!! turned out to be modders/hackers crashing my game, now i can finally play in peace
Still works on 2024.
Thank you so much, thank you so much. You safe my life...
I was so frustraded before, no i can play it enjoyed ❤
can confirm that still working
Great video! This is so by far the best method. The problem though is my file path wasn't the same. Some of you may not have x64 folder and data folder in file path on video. Go to your game in Steam, right click on RDR2 and select properties, installed files and then at top right hit 'browse' to find where your files are located. I installed my game in D drive and Steam is in C drive. This is probably why. Anyway, if this same thing happened to you, use above method to find installed folder and then look for the x64 and then data folder. Put meta file in data folder. Worked for me. Much thanks.
Working 3/20/2023. Super simple and quick to do!
Thank you so much. Started from scratch on pc and my experience was totally ruined by hackers. Was about to just quit for real. And thanks for going straight to the point 👍 really appreciate it
I can't stand the hackers in this game. They are so annoying. They will just mess with you nonstop. Constantly trying to interrupt your gameplay bc they think they are funny. When in reality the only person having fun is them.
holy shit it actually works.. and i was about to give up on RDO!! Thanks Fam!!!
any info with this as of 8/16?
gonna test today will let everyone know if its still working
:edit works as of 8/16 no issues!
so how it works ?
Does it works?
yes it does@@diego42
It works, still working for me today!
@@midnightkaty5130 can you teach me
Just tried it and it still works, best thing for everyone who wants to play on its own. Thank you! have subscribed.
rockstar online gaming is the WORST experience I ever had
Endlich hab` ich meine Ruhe und kann die SPielwelt ganz allein geniesse, ohne nervige Kiddies oder dumme Modder dabei zu haben. Vielen Dank!
Works on December December 1st 11/1/2022
12/1/2022*
thanks it's working like a charm, hackers crashed my games 3 times in period of 30 minutes lmao, now i have nothing to worry about and can continue with my collectors route
The God Damn Chinese
"Congrats, dude! You’re amazing. Damn.
Why didn’t Rockstar do this before? Kudos to you. Seriously, kudos. You’re the man.
From Brazil!
I think they didn't want to admit they can't control the hackers. They probably hoped that we would just consider them as isolated incidents and move on. They eventually did it with GTA O, but they don't seem to care that much for RDRO.
THANK YOU BRO, WE ARE WORKING AND HAVING A LOT OF FUN WITH MY FRIEND.
if you have gotten all possible legendaries causing a 72 hour cooldown so your unable to spawn any more which I've realised is the case as I could not get my second legendary elk but as soon as 72 hours hit i was able to. If a friend is in your private server can legendaries spawn eventhough you have a cooldown since they haven't encountered the animal or do they need to make a private server and I join them in order to encounter those animals. Thanks for this 60 sec tip btw absolute savior.
Thanks mate worked just fine for me. No more modders and no more crashes... game was ruined for me with the FFFFF error till i used this.
Still working on the 7th sep 2024. Thank you ! This helps me to have some time with friend away from the real world where im dealing with the toughest times of my life. My girlfriend had just passed away at a very young age, I used to show her how great this game was and it is truly sad to face the fact that she can no longer join this with me. So much mixed emotions but thank you for sharing this with us ❤
