Yup, I'm an explorer too, but I seem to be not welcome in the exploration part of the forum because I dared to like the FSS more then the ADS.

For those saying Odyssey planet tech is great for explorers, I wonder if you're fully aware of some of the issues:
forums.frontier.co.uk
New Planet Tech is KILLER of Exploration (all terrain is tiling/repeating/not procedural/random)
UPDATE: Planetary terrain prefabs are now also being discovered to be reused between planets: UPDATE: Looking at the high number of reported planets. I have gone ahead and created an issue tracker for this one. I urge everybody to go ahead and tick "can replicate" with as many examples as...
Perhaps you simply didn't notice as easily. I've dabbled with heightmap, so my brain is wired to see the artifacts to correct them. They are very common, more often than not they are "hidden" amongst others "normal" formation.
I have seen dozens of planets with such obvious tiling patterns, as have a lot of people, just visit that thread.
In the circumstances, I wish I could be in denial like you. For the first few days after Odyssey dropped I didn't notice the repetitions. On the weekend, I looked. EVERY Rocky and HMC landable planet I looked at had hundreds of repeating tiles. I was looking at an altitude of 20-40 kms. Now I can't unsee them, they're so obvious. So it's not just at orbital scale. The repeating terrain tiles are at a variety of scales.
Who cares about their resolution ? I edited them, saved them, you can see the artifact clear as day. And you have OA video. It's fine to be in denial, but that's pushing it. I just want issues to be fixed, you don't have the issues or refuse to see them ? That's ok, no need to post.
Here have a high resolution picture if that's your wish :
I really don't get why people are so defending about bugs and issues. We want them fixed, why don't you want the same thing ? Why are you trolling and nitpicking for the sake of trolling ?
It's ridiculous really.
That's why I said, "The repeating terrain tiles are at a variety of scales," so I'm not sure what point you're making here, other than to confirm repetition at (close to) ground level as well.
Don't get me wrong
I don't mean the tilings on the ground only the ones from orbit.
It would be much easier if the people who don't see the bugs the others have would abstain from nitpicking the post where those bugs are mentioned.
Denial people are just as toxic as the "doom" ones. Just saying. Don't be toxic.
Totally with you there that's why I clarified
All these different things thrown together into one big pot make my head spin also.
Do you know why I didn't make a post about the height map issue ? Because people in denial will come flocking and nitpick just as you did for almost 2 pages "I don't see it !", "I saw a nice planet the other day, your argument is invalid", and "it's not even a max rez screenshot". Because I took the time to edit it to show it properly, because stupid nice me thought "hey, not everyone know what a heightmap artifact is", so I took the screenshot from OA's video and one of mine. And spent a few minutes to do it properly, with a little red circle and cropping the picture and all that.
And then people comes barging and simply troll.
I just want the bug to be fixed man, I want to play, but not in this state. Why is it so difficult to do it in peace ?
I'm franly tired to mention the same issues, to post screenshots, and people just ignore that and simply bicker because you posted in JPEG and not PNG, and how they ate bacon and egg for breakfast.
So yeah, the whole "I'm in denial" thing is toxic.
The problem is that you're denying something you don't know or don't want to accept. I'm happy to be proven wrong, but as I said before, when I've actually looked for repeating terrain tiles, every Rocky and HMC landable has had them, and very obviously so. Admittedly that's only about 6 planets on the weekend, but this all takes time. (I've visited many dozens before that, since Odyssey dropped). I have all the screenshots from the weekend, all using ULTRAFORCAPTURE setting at around 10 MB each, and I'm using a 2080Ti since you keep mentioning GPUs. There were repeating tiles everywhere, on every Rocky and HMC.
In fact your denial has prompted me to post them on that other thread, since you don't seem to believe lower res screenshot from others. I'll try to do it tonight.
Terrain generation have nothing to do with our hardware. That's why the planet I have will be the same for everyone else. Texture quality, fps, all that will change but not the overall appearance.
Wow, i didn't know the source video from elite week. These guys are the most sickening white knights ever possible for this game. I literally unsubbed and blocked recommendations to their stuff because maybe just 2 weeks ago they were sitting around just rubbing david braben, or what they thought of him just around and around, from one person to the next. And they kept going inviting more people into the podcast to also spew stuff about how great brabes was. It was unbearable. It was star citizen level cultishness and then some.
And they've come to this. Just wow.
ps. While its not for me, i have perfect respect for anyone who loves the game and they clearly do. And i've never heard them insult other players, so they're great. Its me not them. Sorry elite week you guys rock.
There's always been an excuse. "Its a kickstarter" ignore the crap. "The devs are working on space legs" ignore the crap. No more excuses time.

Please not be so sure (and do not say) that only explorers are/will be interested in on-foot content. This is similarly wrong as when saying that there are not issues with EDO. I'm during more as five years vent on exploration trip only very rarely (my alt account is still few jumps from Colonia for more as year now), but I'm quite much engaged in local BGS. On-foot play (spacelegs if you like more) and local planets look (what we have now looks for me mostly much better as what was there in Horizons) are very welcoming new activity for me. In fact I know for sure that I do not want return to play Horizons, when EDO dlc added for me numerous new possibilites how to have fun. ... with this said, Patch 1 repaired numerous issues which I had serious problem with (I was right on leave when it dropped). I call what we have now beta with balanced pessimistic/optimistic view that until atumn they will have enough time to adress many of EDO issues.

FD have certainly burned the last of the goodwill from many quarters. Will be interesting to see how they respond next- the roadmap out of the flames is due sometime this week
I'm sure everyone will take the beta (early access?) roadmap in stride, and there will be no rioting at all.FD have certainly burned the last of the goodwill from many quarters. Will be interesting to see how they respond next- the roadmap out of the flames is due sometime this week
I don't see the bugs. I'm not playing.
Basically i'm metaphorically at the Winchester and having a pint until this all blows over.
