Horizons/Odyssey Compatibility - Further Details

Odyssey use same saves. From what I've read till now I would assume that the saves will be overwritten by EDO hance unusable by Horizons.

If so, the copy idea would be the way to go. It would be pretty dumb if all slots were reset on a client switch, so I sure hope it is not working that way.
 
Local options storage
  • Odyssey uses different files to Horizons in %localappdata%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options to save configuration options, such as Audio, Graphics and Custom Key Bindings.
Does that mean that

a) Horizons will not receive a patch tomorrow and
b) Horizons will not receive any updates until the Odyssey merge?
 
“The CQC matchmaker and crew finders will not place Horizons and Odyssey players together.”

why?
I can speculate that this is because they are meant to be one client but just recently Frontier changed their mind and apply whatever patches they can now.

Hi all,

I've added this line regarding U to the original postI:

"Odyssey's UI changes will only apply to Odyssey players pre-console launch. Post console launch, the UI changes will be available to everyone."

We've also seen several of you asking about system requirements. A separate post with those is expected later today.
 
Hi Bruce & team, thanks for the clarifications.

► Do we know if we will have to redo entirely our binds for Odyssey, or if these will be copied from Horizons; So then we can bind the new options.

Cheers o7
 
An excellent resource, thank you for assembling it into one quotable post.

I use the "/edh" flag on my EDLaunch.exe shortcut. Will there be a similar flag for EDO?

Some good news for PlayStation after all. 😉

In all seriousness, hopefully if there are potential refinements to do this is a good thing before it comes to console.
 
So basically they've broken it and made the break so confusing to comprehend that you don't quite get how badly it's broken.
Genius.
 
C'mon - they deserve a UI that works best with Apex .. but with no Apex available. That would have been delicious.

Maybe we can let them have the bio scanner instead, since we don't need it?
That's pure eveeeel, wishing that device on anyone. Except if it's in original state, in which case... mwahahaha! Eat that, neanderthals!
 
It would seem that making this DLC has created one huge rod for your dev's poor backs. Given that my Squadron have all decided to leave Odyssey until... later (i.e. wait on planet tech to flow backwards), I guess I'm "stuck" on Horizons too. I can see the opportunities for bugs and issues to mess up people's games and profiles (and go unfixed; priorities!)

As a LEPer, it is what it is. I was looking forward to it - mainly because I'm hoping those instancing issues with Thargoids, might go away (a bit), but such is life.

Good luck with it all - firefighting for the next 6 months is going to suck, though.

PS. Thanks for the clarification. I didn't need it but the other 100 pages of chatter suggested many did.
 
Why are Horizons players not getting the planetary tech now instead of after console launch? Isn't these transitions for players with Odyssey to Horizons adding more software checks and development with potential for more bugs, time that could have been better used for adding new gameplay?

System requirements. Another post. The alpha ones were OK for my rig but now I'm getting concerned...

Does this imply that crimes assignment works differently in Odyssey an Horizons (on ships with Horizons and on commander with Odyssey)?
Sorry, i've always been confused about the C&P system and i didn't pay attention to it in the alpha.
What happened in my case was the following:

My T10 was used for some 'shenanigans' in Colonia, and carries a bounty of 112m credits (issued across 4 different factions) - one that I was planning to keep indefinitely. In the Alpha, I was flying a different ship, and yet the bounties all showed up on the left hand panel. I shrugged and paid them off assuming it was a bug, but seems this is by design. Interesting. May have to kiss that bounty goodbye then.
