Odyssey in VR is unplayable. Period.

[Scubadog]

First, the visuals are just BAD. Anything that is well-lit (ice planets, station interiors, lit panels of ships) are WASHED OUT. It's blinding. Don't even get me started on the stars that are more toward the white spectrum. Shipyard portion where you select one of your stored ships is broken: I get a nice screwed up view of the interior modeling of my ships. Customizing my suit menus are completely messed up: I see a very small image of the avatar, meanwhile I see tiles supposedly showing me something like "Left Arm <whatever>" but they're really the right arm. Contrasts on planets (whether in SRV or foot) are so bad that it's hard to see what you're doing, much less have anything resembling enjoyment of the new visuals.

I'm a VR-only player, and Odyssey ruins the game. I'm sticking to Horizons.

Same, lets hope for updates. I also have the problem of a low framerate (35-40) but my RTX 3070 and my CPU still have more capacity

Yep, having a machine above the recommended specs does nothing to help.

Oh, just finished FPS tutorial... it was the pain for my eyes... jitters everywhere... I have a noobish 2070, but this card was great even on ultras in Horizons + my Pimax.
Now there are no ways to play ED in VR.

I've spent a day and a half trying to use it. Is the DSS scanner broken or is it something I need to re-learn? I cant read the info panels, too far away. The washed out look is awful.
Frustrating!

 

[Vandal71]

Agreed. I had to go back to Horizons as I only play in VR. Will try Odyssey again after the next patch.

Really a punch in the face for VR players. Stutters all over the place with my 3060ti . If I uninstall this abomination what happens to my Horizon installation?

Nothing

I agree. There are so many issues in VR that it simply isn't fun to play. Things like the SRV scanner being rendered in 2D are really off-putting. I think we need to start a campaign to keep Horizons as it is... I don't mind sticking with that, but I don't want to lose it in the autumn. I wish I could find something good to write about Odyssey, but at the moment, I simply can't...

With all the money fdev made with this game they could've at least bought a couple of headset to test it before launch. Alpha also was full of issues but they only fixed a couple of them but the rest is still there or even worse in some case.

That's the really disappointing thing. Things like the SRV scanner are so obvious when you get into the SRV that it's clear they didn't test it at all.

You can't do any free-mode external camera at all in VR (I've tried several different key mappings). You can't aim the DSS at all in VR.

Odyssey in VR is Horrible ...i am frustated ..what did they do with the good Running game .. if i see the Stars i think of Mario Brother Game ..i go back to Horizon after i finish the last Mission ion Odyssey..The Holos in Horizon in the ships where Great ,.but in Odyssey ...OMG

i hope they patch it up for Vr in the Future ... but i am Sure i will not play ED without VR.....2d is Boring

 

[CrossFire Walli]

They blocked it along with all good exploits Can't have fun! No! Bad!

Oh they probably do have the headsets, they just ignore them because that's what the management ordered...

 

[ubedead]

And then they have the balls to show Oculus touch as a valid controller ... Why didn't they just add VR to this update?

Since when is the external camera an exploit? The external camera works in VR in Odyssey, but it completely ignores free mode. You know, the mode that lets you zoom in and out, etc., to get good angles to see your ship while you're flying. Yeah, that one. It's broken.

Good day...

Just updated the actual fix, but the situation is permanent: Odissey is jittering right in the game start menu when I turn my head ..
When the application window is out of focus, everything seems smooth, like in Horizons, but when the application is focused, it jitters.
I don't want to even try to load my save and test the game.

And yes, Horizons runs smoothly with no jitter with the same setup.

I didn't even try it a again. Trying to make the best out of pancake mode at the moment

 

[Stikkit]

Given that they cared so little about the game and the PC consumer that they launched this flaming dumpster I really don't think they care about VR. The people who'll have an itch to play will begrudging play in pancake.
