Title Update 1.03 released for Red Dead Redemption

Published at 7:45 AM PST

The title update promised by Rockstar last month to counter hacking, cheating and bullying in Red Dead Redemption's Multiplayer has just been released. You will be prompted to download the update when you next start the game and sign into Xbox Live / PlayStation Network.

The new anti-griefing measures to counter bullying in Multiplayer Free Roam include:

  • While in Multiplayer Free Roam, if a player achieves a kill streak of 6 or more without dying, they will become a Public Enemy and receive a $1000 bounty.
  • While in Multiplayer Free Roam, if killed three times by any human player and each death is within 80 seconds of respawn, the victim is given the option to respawn away from the area.

Also included in the title update are fixes for numerous issues brought to Rockstars' attention, these are:

  • Players now have the ability to swap shoulder buttons L1/L2, R1/R2.
  • Players now have the ability to save game with cheats turned on.
  • When playing the game with Region set to Asia, incorrect button prompts were displayed.
  • Downloadable Outfits were not appearing in Change Outfits Menu after being unlocked.
  • Invincibility cheat was turned off when activating Dead Eye.
  • Occasionally, the player would not recover from being drunk.
  • It was possible to have two player horses, with one permanently following the player.
  • If equipped with the bandana, sliding doors would temporarily attach to the player’s head.
