Rockstar Games has released a new update for Red Dead Redemption 2, separate from its last update, which added support for the Red Dead Online beta. It basically fixes myriad of bugs and other issues that players have been experiencing since launch. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be a fix for the HDR bug included with this update.
Regardless, the update fixes dynamic kill cams triggering with animals, even if they were disabled in the settings, and first person auto aim when aiming from behind while on a wagon. Missions which saw companions disappearing from camp, like “Polite Society, Valentine Style”, have also been fixed. A number of other issues related to weapons, items, clothing, duelling, and whatnot have been resolved as well.
Story missions are mentioned in the full patch notes, but there don’t seem to be any spoilers. Regardless, some of the patch notes can be seen below. The full notes can be seen here. Currently, access to Red Dead Online is open to Ultimate Edition owners and those who played the game at launch. If you played the game within the first three days of launch, then access should be available later today.
