Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

So, anyone's got any performance impressions already? Any improvements noticable, if so, where and how much? :D
In 4K - some improvements in / around station (60+ FPS where previously 50+) but still crashing down to around 35 in / looking at the "Social Space" - not quite as drastic on an outpost, so probably a slight inmprovement. Not been down to a settleement or CZ yet because of server tennis.
 
Totally don't expect you to do anything about it - it's on us :) Thanks for your patience! Tackling it.
Hi Sally, just a quick thing that I discovered about the Orange sidewinder issue. It seems as if the Steam-download doesn't install Update 4. When verifying the game files in the elite launcher, it re-downloads the entire patch, ultimately installing it resulting in the game working again.
 
I verified the game files in the elite launcher (which steam launches after clicking play) and it seems to want to download the patch from today again over the elite launcher. Maybe steam doesn't install Update 4 and thats why we can't access the game.
I got the update after reloading steam earlier but this orange sidewinder issue seems specific to how steam and epic system route the traffic. Sally said they working on it, let process run its course, i'm merely pointing it out to them. In no rush to login.
 
Are you using Steam based launcher?

Has anyone with the DIRECT client (i.e. not steam) has Orange Sidewinder issues?
Have no orange sidewinders while running it on direct launcher (can't receive a key to add it to my steam library anyways) but I am also not in Eroupe it could be region problem

Know what, a few of you have said this now and although it was a "hmmmm" let's see...no there's definitely something else, this may also be a contributing factor as you all say! There still looks like there might be something else contributing, which we're looking into regardless, but this is really helpful.

Sorry to the earlier commander I said "Naww it looks like something else" to. It DOES still look like something else isn't helping, BUT this could well be (and looks to be) a contributing factor too! Amazing work for helping look into it, everyone!

Im going to do another validate check just to be certain what my other Cmdr colleague has positioned
 
Damn!!! that's another epic list Frontier (y) Looking forward to getting home later and seeing what's changed/improved etc.

Thanks again to the developers for their continued work and also for the community team for the massively improved communication and forum presence

Would be also nice to get the real error names instead of various colorful ship names ( in case there are several error codes assigned to the color)
 
Here is some cat media to keep you all entertained while this gets fixed...
