An update to Red Dead Online (1.21) released on August 10, 2020, was meant to provide security improvements and address connection errors.

However, it unintentionally introduced a range of issues including:

• Connection problems
• Low animal spawn counts
• Difficulty pitching Camps
• Difficulty entering Moonshine shacks
• Various other issues

On August 13, 2020, with update 1.22, Rockstar has reverted Red Dead Online back to the previous version initially launched on July 28.

This addresses these recent issues and restores stability. Meanwhile, Rockstar will continue to work to eliminate any remaining issues through future updates.
