My own first impressions.

Hey all, firstly ... Wow the game is amazing.
I love it, first docking attempt went smooth as silk, takeoff was a little bit worse for ware but it worked, already been interdicted three times.

The only thing I have got gripes with is fps whilst most of the times it's smooth as anything, looking at stations drops to 20 fps, super cruise seems to love hitting 9 fps, and it can be a little bit bouncy.

I've also noticed while doing some actions such as hyperdrive, super cruise and being interdictied the game doesn't react how it should, everything goes white for a moment "still able to see but it's just a weird white light" then on exit into interdiction my ship doesn't actually appear to bounce, whilst the dash does bounce you can't see the ships cockpit at all.

Are there any fixes to anything that anyone knows of.

Regards, Ben.

What you are describing sounds like a loading issue to me.

Are you using a hdd or ssd? What is running in the background? Can you run elite in a window and have resource monitor open and see if anything is spiking at these times?

Welcome commander,

Those all sound like known work in progress items. There is often a pause leaving super cruise which causes the dash to go white and shake, this is when the 'instance' is being loaded and is very much a place holder. Very often you will be stuck staring at a dashboard for a few minutes, you just have to grin and bear it right now. The previous Alpha 3 just had a spinning graphic so progress is being made on these place holders.

You will experience a low FPS in the station especially during outfitting. Again the game has not been fully optmised so we don't know for sure this will stick. What graphics card do you have?

When flying around planet rings you often get a drop to 9fps for a while, again this is a known issue.

I'm running the game off an external hdd, only other thing really running in the background is steam teamspeak and all my gaming software like temp moniters keyboard and mouse settings and such. I will test and see if anything is spiking and report back.

USB 3 hard drive?

Try connecting it as Esata if possible, or husk the thing and mount it internally. Just asking for issues otherwise.

It's not only you, there are still bugs that need to be fixed. It's one of the means of this beta too, to get game polished a bit more.

Gish what am I saying. To get the bugs in this small alpha like Beta fixed, there. It's not a game yet, not really close. Just some basic functionality.

So basicly all of what I'm experiencing is just about the norm at the moment?

How beefy is your GPU, CPU and RAM? The game makes good use of my i7-4770 (all 4 cores and apparently all 8 threads). I have a GTX 660 and 8 GB ram, and I mostly get 30-80 FPS at max settings. My FPS go into the 20s at stations, and go down to ~10 fps when planetary rings are sort-of-close
