September 2024: custom Posse and Horse names are hidden

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Title Update 1.32’s September 24 notes describe custom Posse and Horse names being hidden in Red Dead Online. Posse members appear under the leader’s Posse and owned Horses appear by breed. These are documented naming changes, so the notes do not supply a setting that restores the custom names publicly. [1]

March 2024: stuck entering stables or unable to summon a horse

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

Rockstar says this update improved the issues with getting stuck when entering stables and being unable to summon horses or wagons. The publisher uses “Improved,” so this record does not treat the notes as proof that every stable or summoning failure was eliminated. [1]

Official fix available

March 2024: Naturalist samples and Free Roam Missions

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The general Online fixes correct Naturalist samples not counting toward Daily Challenges and Free Roam Missions failing to launch. They address those named progress and mission-launch problems. [1]

Official fix available

March 2024: PC launch crashes and Offline Mode failures

Platforms: PCUpdated Evidence checked

The PC section fixes multiple crash or launch failures and Offline Mode problems, including one associated with Windows 11 updates. It also fixes crashes after reporting another player. These are historical PC patch corrections rather than a claim that all present-day crashes share a cause. [1]
