Has the hysteria died down yet?

I'm not having any problems, but, I accept that others are. See-ing those problems addressed helps everyone, you me and FDev.
I haven't posted much as me saying "hey it works for me " isn't much help and folks can't just rush out and buy new graphics cards etc even if they wanted too (though Radeon 6700xt, 6800's are becoming more readily available now at only slightly inflated prices). I had similar experience with Cyberpunk (fine for me, but borked for lots of folks) and it realy highlights that developers, really do need to stop releasing stuff that hasn't been tested properly on the hardware the "say" it will run on. (CDProjekt red - ps4 - really ?)
The listed minimum specs for Odysey are frankly a joke btw -
  • CPU: Intel Core i5-4590 / AMD FX-8350.
  • RAM: 8 GB.
  • OS: Windows 7 (SP1+)/8.1/10 64bit.
  • VIDEO CARD: NVIDIA Geforce GTX 780 / AMD R9 280x (3 GB VRAM)
  • PIXEL SHADER: 5.0.
  • VERTEX SHADER: 5.0.
  • FREE DISK SPACE: 75 GB.
  • DEDICATED VIDEO RAM: 3072 MB.
Those were good cards in their day, but have no place in a modern gaming rig, and the cpu's are gasping a bit - I'd probably put an Nvidia 970 as the absolute bottom end if pushed.
Whats more worrying are the things that aren't bugs, but design decisions - so are changes to planetary tech producing "worse" planets due to bugs .... or to make them render on lower end hardware ?
The second is the killer, especially if it's meant to run on last gen consoles.
Anyway folks get a bit "road rage" about the whole thing, hopefully the patches (which will come ) make something we can all enjoy whatever platform we are on.
In the meantime I can recomend a bit of ESO, World Of Tanks, Red Dead 2, Destiny2, or especially Metro Exodus (the enhanced version) or I'm sure any number of other games out there right now if folk are wanting a break. Oh - or Snowrunner

- nearly forgot that - if you like flying spaceships - try trucks in the snow - from the guys that brought you Mudrunner - I love it and I suspect it might appeal to a lot of Elite players.
Take a break and come back in a month or so and see how it's doing.

There is also Warframe which have the good taste to be free.

Not sure about the reactions but the game is in much better shape for me. The first weekend disconnects were so bad, I quit trying. This holiday weekend I played a lot and had a good time. I have been lucky with general bugs and performance is acceptable for my high end system. Aside from some design choices I disagree with my main complaint at this point is performance. Although playable, it really should better because there is no way this code base is going to run on an Xbox One/PS4.

I don't know.
It's extra stuff, so, I'm fine with it. My expectations were really high, around carrier release. I was dreaming the day we'd maybe have our own ship beds, a surface-based apartment, and a tram to take across the cityscape, to the star port, where we can chug some Space Milk, or Space Whisky, and be off to land on some undiscovered ELW. But I had a feeling, back then, that those dreams were probably a little...how do you say? Misplaced. When FDev clarified the nature of atmospheric landings to tenuous? And the lack of ship-to-ground transition and I thought, "ah well...at least we'll be able to see what imperial star ports look like, compared to federal ones, and we may still be able to land on some of those HMCs and AWs too. Turns out I was wrong on both of those accounts, as well. All ports look the same, regardless of locale/ superpower and the tenuous bodies we land on look as if they were just regular landable bodies, converted over to light atmosphere models because I can't tell if these bodies were unlandable, tenuous bodies, present in Horizons, or if they were just converted. Either way they look almost exactly like the non-atmospheric models in the system map.

So? With literally every single one of my most anticipated features out? And that I wouldn't be seeing the imperial capital? It's Horizons style exploration as usual, but with the added benefit of at least taking photo shots of my CMDR, on-foot and periodic bacterial scanning. Other than that? I still have no option to leave the chair and tinker around the ship, as I wait 250,000-500,000ls to reach the next body to map lol.

No the hysteria haven't gone down already. People are still blindly trolling and flaming real issues others have, for some unknown reason. Perhaps they hate the game enough so they don't want it fixed ?

Do you have a few dozen examples for that? Most people seem to be rather rational about the issues others have.

Threads like these are monuments to misplaced aggression.

It's like yelling at people to shut up and stop screaming just because they're burning to death as their airliner plummets toward the ground, and just as constructive.

A modicum of respect for the opinions of others should not be too much to expect in exchange for the same.

Meh, my respect for your opinion is contingent upon your opinion being remotely close to an informed and rational opinion.

I leave an allowance for, say, it being your first time experiencing an MMO launch, but even with that consideration there were vast swathes of belligerently enraged children. Same with every launch.

I'm a parent, so I'm used to it. But familiarity breeds contempt...

I bask in the warm glow of your exceptionalism. What a comfort. If only mere mortals could possess such a, singularly, level-headed disposition.

Oh... BTW. We're almost two weeks out and everything still seems to be broken for many with no communication from FDEV about what they believe is working as designed or broken. There's also no indication of when what they believe to be broken might be fixed. Put it on FDEV and leave the people who are having problems be.

See? That's how to express one's concerns in a dignified and reasonable manner.

A lot of the people defending it have played more than a few hours, but for whatever reason are willing to overlook the glaring issues with it. My issue is when they then decide that other people are not allowed to be rightfully annoyed at this dumpster fire that FDev have put out there.

A lot of us don't have to overlook the bugs, they don't affect us, or affect us very little.

First couple days I had transaction server issues, that is a volume problem. Frontier stepped up and got that connection much more stable and now sometimes I have to click a button on a terminal in game more than once to get missions.

Ground combat runs at 40+fps on my middle of the road GeForce 1660. Second highest graphics setting.

Folks have issues, but some people are posting garbage too. I saw a redit post in my Google feed where someone presented tue access panel bug as still happening. I haven't seen that since the closed beta.

So while those who are having issues can certainly vent and are justifiably salty there are also a lot of folks feces posting and pointing to issues that don't exist to trash the game.

I won't speculate why.

The only problem is that after all the issues and sorted and things will have settled down, the vast majority of those negative reviews will still be there, with Frontier unable to have recourse :( that hurts both the game and the current player base.

The bugs re still out there you know? The performance issues persist for many. I'm playing u re playing, let's have respect for those who still need a solution. U re gonna start another mass histeria with this kind of post.
