Rockstar Games has released a new Red Dead Redemption 2 update today! Given how Red Dead Online is the one usually update, we’re tagging this as the Red Dead Online update 1.29 patch for August 11! This is an unannounced patch, and clocks in at 200MB on some platforms (PC), while at over 2GB on others.
Red Dead Online Update 1.29 Patch Notes:
Update: Rockstar has released the full patch notes!
[August 11, 2021] – General

- Fixed an issue where some players were losing their 25 Capitale setup fee if they were disconnected during the Covington Emerald Opportunity on Ruthless difficulty
- Fixed an issue that could have caused players to be disconnected from the game
- Fixed a number of crashes
Unfortunately, Rockstar Games has not shared anything pertaining to today’s patch just yet. Thankfully, the community has shared feedback on what they noticed after the patch!
Reddit user polyphenus mentioned that the 50% loading bug he experiences on PS5 has been fixed after the patch!
After installing on PS5, upon my first launch of the game, I was able to get right into camp without experiencing the 50% load bug.
I stumbled upon the update after I got disgusted with the 50% load bug earlier this morning and decided to try loading up once again.
Outside of that, there’s also the Red Dead Online weekly update which we posted yesterday. For reference, here’s what’s new:
