It’s official Red Dead Redemption is now available on Xbox One via backwards compatibility.
To celebrate the move, the game’s multiplayer DLC packs — the Myths and Mavericks pack, the Liars and Cheats pack and the Legends and Killers Pack — are all free to download and use. The game’s big expansion, “Undead Nightmare” still comes at a cost (but it’s worth it!).
With that in mind, players need to be aware of a mod-slash-bug that’s been present on Red Dead multiplayer servers since 2014.
“There currently exists a mod called ride-able zombie mod (you bring a zombie from Undead Overrun and use it as a mount) that spreads throughout the online public servers like a virus because it’s a glitch combined with a mod,” writes Redditor USSV-Cdr_Cobra. “This mod can be identified as an undying NPC glitched on the ground. Us regular folk see the glitch (it in it’s human form as glitched NPC) but not zombie because we’re not modded.
“When shot the glitched NPC will give off a normal amount of XP points but since it can’t die the xp score keeps going and going infinitely essentially leveling you up. Doing this will cause the glitched NPC to multiply and eventually cause tremendous lag/slowdown, overloading the server causing a variety of problems including, Invisible players, Infinite loading screens, and Console freezing.”
This post continues with temporary and permanent solutions to avoid the issue. The best way to avoid problems is to use private lobbies.
Good luck, and have fun!
