i recently started playing rdo again since one of my friends just got it and wanted to play with me. we tried to join each other but for some reason couldn’t, even though we both had no mods in our folders. my friend kept saying that i was offline, and whenever i would invite him he would never see the invite. this also applies to public lobbies where no one else appears to be online. im pretty sure it’s on my end and now im just lost trying to figure out what to do, any help would be appreciated
#red dead online lobbies appear empty

Can you join your friend though? It's a commonly occuring problem among the comunity, I don't know if there's a fix for it though
heavy condor
Can you send a posse invite to him? Try making a temporary posse and invite him to your posse instead of a session invite?
quiet nexus
oh yeah maybe that would work
heavy condor
Or should you try to join through the rockstar home button
quiet nexus
oh yeah i did that
heavy condor
He's offline on the website? And in the friends list ingame?
quiet nexus
it was saying that he was using some kind of incompatible asset or whatever but he didn’t have any mods
heavy condor
it was saying that he was using some kind of incompatible asset or whatever but ...
You're both PC right?
quiet nexus
yes
heavy condor
Hmmm.... Could it be that there's a modder in his server?
quiet nexus
maybe
but he kept restarting his game and i still couldn’t join
also every lobby i join into is always empty
like every single time
heavy condor
Every time? It might be a connection problem then
quiet nexus
maybe but i have a pretty decent connection
heavy condor
Yea, it doesn't translate well to rockstar servers, I've got like 5G and I still get problems
quiet nexus
fuck
heavy condor
It should fix itself eventually though
quiet nexus
do you think it could be a router problem
heavy condor
You got any other friends you can test it on? try joining them?
quiet nexus
no i don’t have anyone else added
heavy condor
do you think it could be a router problem
Could be, have you tried restarting it yet?
quiet nexus
the game?
quiet nexus
no but i probably shouldn’t do that when my family is awake lol
heavy condor
Hmmm, try adding me and join me
My SC is in my user
Try to check if you can join other people, if you can then it's his problem
quiet nexus
yeah it’s definitely me
it’s said that the session you’re in is using incompatible assets
heavy condor
Well oof, your game is up to date right?
quiet nexus
should be
heavy condor
Try checking
If you don't authorize automatic updates it might be that you're missing out on an update
quiet nexus
automatic updates are on
heavy condor
automatic updates are on
And you're up to date then?
quiet nexus
yeah
heavy condor
Well I searched your problem up, and theres this https://steamcommunity.com/app/1174180/discussions/0/3620268551242725801/
The only other solution someone has found was just completely reinstalling
quiet nexus
lol yeah i did that once
i might do that as a last resort
so how did he open the ports
that parts confusing
heavy condor
Gosh I don't know, I just googled it 😂
quiet nexus
alright well thank you anyway
