Red Dead Redemption Updates: Bans, Unbans and Broken DLC

Although much of the focus of late on Red Dead Redemption has been on the upcoming ‘Undead Nightmare’ DLC, it looks like some previously banned players will see their dead accounts coming back to life.

Rockstar has said that the players banned a couple months ago will be allowed to come back, assuming they’ve deleted their hacked save games, both single and multiplayer, that were the issue in the first place.

Players will need to play up to the MacFarlane Ranch safehouse for single-player saves, and multiplayer saves need to make it through one full game or gang hideout.

This will precede a new round of bans for similar offenses designed to catch the cheaters that either squeaked by in the first round or somehow didn’t get the message.

In other news, Sony has admitted that they accidentally released a partially completed version of the game’s Hunting and Trading DLC. The incomplete copy is only 15 megs, while the final version takes up 59 megs.

The unfinished copy creates a number of bugs, most notably that it resets the player’s ‘days played’ tracker to -2, causing a whole other series of other problems with items and quests not appearing or respawning properly.

Sony has said that to fix the issue players need to delete the game data, not their save games, and re-download the updated DLC. 1up, linked above, has the full details of how to do this.
