he's not gonna give you arx broMany thanks for the roadmap
DirectX12/Vulkan support? Crossplatform play an option? Both would be great gameplay and PR wins.
Great stuff! o7
Well, I'm all clued up now. Thanks.
Even worse than i imagined.
I did read the content of the roadmap - which was why I framed the question that way as I didn't see mention of incremental updates following Update 5:
Which reads to me that the console release will see 'final' optimisation on console release.
We'll have to see what is achieved in the next 3 Updates in performance, there may be huge strides between now & then.
First of all, thanks for putting in all this effort. About the above: this may make sense from a development point of view (although starting to work on major optimizations just before a console release sounds a bit late to me).
But, this decision also has a major consequence: people with lower-end hardware (like me) will not or barely be able to enjoy all the other fixes that you release in the meantime, because of very low frame rates...
Jesus christ, why do your messages always sounds not sincere at all ? this is just pure PR talk
Really? this is pathetic, you seriously need to drop the PR talk once and for all

My prepped reply for David (and other Top Brass) as I figured this post would be by him, but I hope that you can communicate the message onwards, Arf
Thanks for the news update and roadmap
FWIW, Frontier as a company have clearly been spreading their developer resources too thin for many years now. This has resulted in none of the produced games getting the full resources they needed for greatness (9/10 or 10/10 review scores), with Elite suffering the most.
Elite Dangerous is supposed to be a Game-As-A-Service with a large, dedicated, stable devteam efficiently producing update/DLC after update/DLC, yet instead it's managed like a Build-It-And-Ship-It game fighting for vital developer resources with your other in-production games.
Odyssey review scores and Frontier's share price have shown that the existing company policy is no longer tenable. The demand for more, better quality Elite content is clearly there with substantial game/expansion/ARX sales, record player numbers, and social-media activity. Maybe it's time for David to exert his authority, bring the Board Of Directors in-line, give Elite the developer resources it needs and deserves, and get Frontier making the top-quality content we know it can - company revenues and share price will follow suit.
Or put another way, if one is already struggling to keep the existing plates spinning, with some falling and smashing, then it's time to stop adding more plates.

This is a Road Map? Zero further development of existing features? LOL!
So it's a Beta until Console Launch. What a Joke!
Thanks...

Well at least the loadout UI is high priority...
The being said this isn’t a roadmap.

Utterly pathetic.
This is pretty much what I thought would happen- the time between release and console release is really low end PC tweaking time and never really was anything else.
For what it is, thanks for the roadmap. Is it too much to hope that the skybox will return to its former self, something that can be seen if flying near a black hole in Odyssey, as one of those updates? How hard can it possibly be to just flip on the switch so that the renderer behaves like it used to everywhere.

they declared it a finished product then released it in a heavily bugged state - this is a moment where they NEED backlash so this doesn't happen again. history has proven that if they don't receive backlash, bugs will go unpatched for years and they'll think it's acceptable for future releases
It's like 5 year olds in the toystore, lying flat, banging their fists on the floor while screaming like no tomorrow. Things still won't go any faster or better in any way.
