Some friends of mine encountered this... and everyone riding invisible horses and fighting invisible bad guys made for some fun times! I think the fun would wear thin after awhile though! :(
do they even bother play testing anymore, if this shit happened last gen with no way of patching then theyd be fucked
Yeah, this was happening to me pretty much the whole time I played last night. The worst was when the enemies were invisible. At least you could still abuse the lockon.
I haven't yet tried the online game (I'm itching to, but the single-player world has me so enraptured, and I've heard of the issues), but last night I had a really odd glitch:
Just messing around, I shot the driver off of a stagecoach. The shotgun passenger slid over to take the reigns, but instead just jumped down off of the coach - he fell right through the ground though, screaming. I thought he was dead and gone, a hilarious glitch, but then I saw that I had an eyewitness running around... and it was him, he was alive underneath the ground. That's one way to escape, I suppose.

Yeah, it happens more than I'd like it to, but at least it seems to only happen in free roam. Luckily the only glitches I've encountered in single player have been hilarious. Yesterday it seemed like the physics engine went insane and people riding their stagecoaches started bouncing up and down like they had hydraulics. It was gangster for sure.
Why do people always blame QA for bugs? This is a thing I don't understand. I've been working in QA for a year and a half now, and I can tell you 100% that finding a bug, filing the bug, telling every person you've ever met about said bug...this does not fix bugs. Fixing bugs is not QA's job.
Dude I am not makin this up. I quick traveled to armadillo and there were FLYING wagon above the town and then they started exploding. It freaked me out. Idk if I'm the only person this has happened to but that glitch was kinda a treat. Also I had the invisible shit happen to me too it sucked fighting invisible cops is hard
When I first saw this while my friend was playing I said "Cool! I didn't know they had cloaking in the Old West" but apparently other players can still see you
I had a bounty that became invisible in the game all you could see were the ropes that were used to tie him up.

Really? Pretty sure that's not true, ever, anywhere. I would pay shitloads of cash to see you have a QA job, find a bug in a game that's behind schedule, going crazy over budget, has had ridiculous amounts of marketing put behind it guaranteeing its release NOW and then you find a graphical bug with no clear reproduction steps that you stop the launch of.
Please. Continue to tell me what my job responsibilities are and what authority QA has. At best we can assess the severity of an issue and bitch about it. Stopping the launch of a 100 million dollar project? I want to live in your fantasy world.

@Nesmin: True for every programming job I've had in the past 20 years. Management can override QA, but it's QA job to stop things.
What good does it do file bugs if they're not going to be fixed? Knowing about them without fixing can be a liability in court.

Everytime I logged in yesterday and switched games this happened to me. Wasn't very funny since it started when I was trying to select my online character.
Crap, I just posted my Chad Conselmo questions in this post. That's what I get for having two tabs open at once. DOH!!! FAIL!!!
@sqlrob
Management can and *does* override QA. Often. Of course it does no good to file bugs and not have them fixed. Welcome to the frustrating issue 10045 of working QA. 20 years in programming and this shit surprises/offends/confuses you? Seriously?
And court liability? I suppose that's technically true. You should call R* and see if they care. Actually, you should call every dev house that's ever launched a for profit product with known issues and let them know. Silly tangent is silly.
QA does not stop launch. As a dev you should know better than anyone that nothing is shipped bug-free, and there's fuck all anyone can do about it.

I have yet to fully complete a game online... and EVERYTHING in the character customization screen is invisible too. Makes it hard to chose your player! lol!
Still, I absolutely adore this game... and will adore it even more once the online portion is properly up and running!
Thanks for an absolutely great game, Rockstar! =)

Players should use this opportunity to sneak into the girls' shower room. That is what invisibility is for.
The least QA could do is to take up programming themselves and fix this shit. I'm no programmer but I did stay at a Holiday Inn last night.
Nesmin why don't you just QA the fuck outta this and fix it.. /boggle

I work at a game company... and the QA here do a phenomenal job at finding all of the issues in any build. HQ, on the other hand, seems to like to not fix most of them because they either can't reproduce it, or they say there's no time. The QA pushes as hard as they possibly can to get the producers to fix it, but when their bonus is on the line, they prefer to release a game on time instead of delaying it even more.
I'm sure Rockstar's problem is just about server overloads... they most likely did test it, but not on a scale anywhere close to the amount of people that are currently playing the game.

Fuck, fix the Deadly Assassin's outfit bug, please.. the one where Mo Van Barr never appears in the list of bounties, thus making the "exclusive DLC" completely worthless.
@ StepTangent,
"Players should use this opportunity to sneak into the girls' shower room. That is what invisibility is for."
Invisibility is for robbing banks.. which is obviously a little more relavent!

I think they should make invisibility a mode. It sounds like having ghost races where you can't control things would be fun, granted only on closed off sections and not an entire city.
I experienced this for 3 straight hours last night. It's somewhat tolerable until enemies start becoming invisible. It's also a pain in the ass trying to select a character.
Aside: Has anyone else been having serious issues with the sound not syncing up in the PS3 version? It's way off at all times for me, and I don't know if it's a problem with just my copy or others'.

I prefer just playing private free roam with my friends. Way more fun than dealing with children clogging servers.
Ice T O.G. Original Gamester. Doesn't suprise me that he plays this game. I saw him a while back at a small venue he invited everyone to the after party to play some ps2.
Love the game, but it needed a couple more weeks of debugging. Shit's noticeable even in single-player, although I have no problems ignoring it.
Also the freeroam glitches suck ass but hopefully will be fixed soon.
I saw the coaches with hydros glitch last nite too. Pretty funny. The horse flew about 2 blocks and died. I skinned it.

What bug you talking about? I unlocked the outfit just fine. I believe the bounties become available at random (seeing as how I reloaded a save and the bounty was different). It seems it's just a case of you being unlucky enough to not have that particular bounty available yet. Perhaps the next time a bounty is available, you should just keep re-loading until Mo Van Barr comes up.

I just finished the Deadly Assassin quest. Mo Van Barr will show up on the bounty board in Armadillo. And sometimes it doesn't pop up. It's kinda random. If you're already looking in Armadillo, then I got nothing. lol

Mo van barr bounty. Try leaving armadillo for a while. It didn't show up for me till after I killed (hogtied and left for dead) the cannibal.
@The Pat Man and Revariance,
Do a quick google search around.. I am not alone on this. Just like not everybody is experiencing the invisibility bug (I haven't, but I've mainly been concentrating on the single player so far.) My friend didn't have any trouble with the bounties, either... lucky bastard.
But many of us are getting to the point where the bounties in Armadillo are not even names of people anymore, but question marks. So, it's pretty obvious after doing some 20-30 bounties that this guy is not going to be popping up for us. Even if you're tracking the Scrap in the outfit section, which shouldn't even matter, really. But I have tried everything.

@VolksONER,
I'm now messing around in Mexico but I come back to Armadillo occasionally to fruitlessly try to find the Mo Van Barr bounty.. but to no avail.

runtheplacered. Have you talked to the old woman at coots chapel (I think that's right)? That's the last thing I remember doing before the bounty popped up. Just before that I finished the cannibal missions. No idea if that'll help you or not. But good luck and happy hunting.
