ANNOUNCEMENT Odyssey Update 2021

I see a LOT of people are having problems. How many of you who have problems have ever, in the launcher, sent Frontier Development your "hardware survey" data so fdev have a clue about the hardware their users are running the game on? You should probably send that data whenever you upgrade components too.
 
Everyone is entitled to voice their views and opinions, as long as they adhere to the forum rules then they are welcome to post.

Attacks on other forum members, devs and maybe even little old me (not my fault) are not welcome and will be dealt with accordingly.

Thanks all.
Well, a lot of these problems could have been avoided.
No, I'm not going to blame anyone now (people don't like to be blamed, even if they are actually at fault).
A lot of the problems could have been avoided if fdev had been developing more openly. fdev would have discussed ideas with the community and let the community test the developments (not just a couple of weeks before release, no). fdev would not have delayed announcing updates and additions to the sea and would have starved the community of information.
i remember people warned about this, and i warned about it myself.
did fdev listen? no. they won't this time either, which means odyssey is far from being the last problematic release.
i want to repeat, i'm not trying to harass or blame anyone.
I don't know how to put it delicately, what's being said.

One of these polls came to me during alpha testing and the day before the release. Have they not seen the system specifications of most users?
 
Just played for another couple of hours and only 1 problem - a blue cobra. Other than that, all working well and completed a couple of planet based missions - good fun. I don't use Steam - might this be an issue? I also completely deleted the Alpha before installing. Just a thought.

Depends what you are doing, I can get a CTD within minutes of logging because i was farming mats and that seems to crash the game when the bins get near filled, I mean I could go do something else but I have nothing else I want to move on to until I have the stuff I need to do what I planned and i may find another bug just as bad doing the next thing. it took me loing enough to get the game downloaded installed and then patched let alone now can't reliably stay connected.

This exactly. I was farming at Jameson's and one of the materials was full then I was getting transaction errors. Had to go to a station and use Materials Exchange.

Same, but at Davs Hope, the mats I can't farm are now all full and I just need to top off the rest but 8 out of 10 times i can't make a complete circuit without the transaction error. i have submitted a report along with everyone else, the list there is quite long now!

Mostly problem-free here as well. Mid-level CPU and GPU. Definitely lower FPS than Horizons, but still very playable, and I am confident that will be smoothed out in the near future. Not a perfect release by any means, but I understood what I was getting when I hit the play button, and so far I am far more impressed than I am disappointed.

It boggles me how some people freak-out over launch-day issues in today's age, or even in the past 20 years, when launches of any major title have issues. If you can't handle it - hold off and wait awhile for the main issues to be ironed out. Will save you a lot of high blood pressure and stress. Frustration is understandable, but in 2021 - it should also be expected if you choose to dive in on day one. For better or worse, that's how major titles go now.
Amazing to me How Game companies get away with releasing such crappy games today.
Maybe cause nobody has the Balls to Demand a Refund.
Not talking just about ED here, as they are closer to the top of the barrel than most.
 
This thread has certainly sorted two types of players... One group, the 'sit back and accept anything sheep' and the another group, the 'annoyed shout loud agressive wolves'. I'll leave whoever reads this to decide on which side of the fence they sit or stand. While the sheep are content to wait for change, it is the wolves that will force those changes to happen.
YA Gotta Oil the squeaky wheel !!
 
I cant log in AT ALL. I got sent to a detention facility and had to get an APEX to get back to my ship and the game crashed on the first jump and now it wont let me log in to odyssey, horizons, OR the base game.
