Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 3

[madmattnz]

As soon as I dock I get dumped to the menu via a Scarlett Krait - Repeats after re-logging and or restarting, so I am in a perpetual - outside the station, dock, land, get dumped out to main menu - its like groundhog day!

Always nice to see a big patch note list

I have my fingers crossed for some vital VR fixes in the next Updates - the “maintain vehicle horizon” anti-nausea comfort option doesn’t work and the DSS continues to be broken.

 

[Sysmon]

Still, we should be getting these as parchement scrolls. Great work!

It is great to see you guys working so hard to fix what I know will be the best space sim out there! It is also very refreshing to see you communicating with us and answering questions, even if the answers are not to our liking (ship interiors ) Thanks guys

Thanks for taking the time to say, surfarer! Means a lot to us.

 

[Trinity Star]

Can you please elaborate on what this means?

I did notice on preparation/turn power on missions that sometimes the settlement's turrets would start shooting at your ship when you leave, which is why I turned off the defenses in the comms centre.

Carrier jumps are still soo messed up.

edit
Oh in horizons it shows the correct status...

Crashing or something else? Bit vague 'messed up'.

 

[Alec Turner]

Excellent work FD, nice list of changes!

Thank you for your hard work. o7

 

[TheBlazero]

Many Wow, much fixes

I thought this was default? Or at least that's how it's been for me since day 1.

Also a question on the POI's how far is the LY out from the bubble, Colonia, and the smaller area's where humanity is in relation to POI spawning?

Yes, by default they are both bound to the same key, but you couldn't remap them to the same key in game (well you could, but you needed to edit the file outside the game).

Framerate (on entering station interior) seems improved a little, station interior docking bay colours are brighter, SRV paint looks much better. Ship colours seem unchanged (yellow ship is a different yellow from a yellow SRV now).

Overall the game feels smoother, less dropped frames I guess?

I docked while wearing my Armetis suit & on changing to my civvie clothes (as I normally do when entering a social space) the pilot avatar didn't update it's clothing & on exit from the ship the game crashed consistently. If I exited in the Armetis suit it worked without problem.

Looking promising so far

Well, odyssey tells you your jump has been set, congratulations!
After 15 minutes you wonder whats going on, check the status; 'no jump set'
So I try again but get an error message.
Then the ui doesn't react to me setting my jump target anymore.
Log back into horizons, and... that tells me the carrier is jumping in 13 minutes.

I really have no other word for it than messed up at the moment.

edit
Oh, I got a message the jump was delayed.

edit
Carrier jumped in time, and to the correct destination...

A fix has been implemented to address crashes encountered during fleet carrier jumps.

Woo! Time to enjoy that sweet mega-jump audio once again! Hat's off to the audio team, I never get tired of that sequence (though I'd love a window someday!)

Updates made to some engineer's faces.

Looks like the clone wars have ended early.

SRV paintjobs have been rebalanced for the new lighting and PBR system.

Glad to see this, they all looked the same unless I shined my flashlight right on em.

Fixed incorrect previews being shown in holo-me.

Holo-me fixes!

• Fixed POIs spawning all over the galaxy.

And thus, humanity's swift and total galactic colonization came to an equally swift end.

• Hair will no longer change colour at different distances.

I won't miss my gray hair.

Multiple fleet carrier jump optimisations and stability improvements have been made.

More stability as we hurl our 3km long hulks of metal though space at speeds 21st century physicists could only dream of is always welcome!

Fixed an issue whereby non carrier modules could be equipped onto a fleet carrier.

I'm really, really curious about this one. Do you mean that it was possible to somehow equip a ship module (say, an FSD, shield cell bank, etc) into one of the carrier's module slots used for the various station services?

Some server optimisation and stability improvements have been made.

Always good to see more of these!


Another nice long list of fixes. Love reading these before I go to bed, keep up the good work Frontier!

Hey madmattnz! Sorry to hear this! Can you pop a ticket into the issue tracker please so this info doesn't get lost in the thread? https://issues.frontierstore.net/ . Thanks!

Arx

• Arx will now be awarded for Odyssey gameplay, including -
  • Suit/Weapon buy/sell/upgrade

See you in the black, Commanders o7

So ... someone could sit there buying and selling suits and weapons from Pioneer, and Arx go brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr until it hits 400?

 

[DWorth]

"Fixed black adder transaction error"

Well Baldrick, that's sixpence.

I would imagine there's a limit similar to how ship and module buying works with arx atm.
