Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

[Skrylly]

Hello CMDR,
glad it works for you.
It still does not work for us.
Still the error: orange sidewinder.

Many greetings

I would LOVE to test the new patch, but I can't login.

@sallymorganmoore I'm in Brazil as well - Orange Sidewinders being distributed left and right down here.

I just want to confirm that the problem seems related to a shader (disabling one specific shader solves the problem).
It's used in :

• the screen of the missions consoles
• the shop windows
• some settlement windows
• glasses in the bar
• some transparent red colored panels in the concourse "guardrails"

The GPU usage climbs the closer you are to the source of the problem (and looking at it).

Disabling that shader solves the fps problem. Side effect is liquids disappear in glasses, some symbols are removed from the shop windows, etc.

About the performance gain, if i'm close to a shop window, GPU usage drops from 100% to 65% (Nvidia GTX 1080).
I can provide more infos and screenshots if needed.

Can you explain more, how would I test this myself by disabling the shader?

That's taken this morning. I'm looking in much the same direction at the same nebulae and you can barely make them out.

The milky way "disc" looks a lot better. But it's still not quite the same as Horizons.

Very helpful, thanks

Some nice quality of life improvements for the map UI here. Nice!

Also now when in system map if you select a body the description panel displays automatically. Which is a huge win!
Maybe i'm wrong but i'm sure it wasnt doing this before the latest update but not mentioned in the patch notes.

Credit to FDev, updates and fixes coming thick and fast

I'm still having a few issues trying to connect - I haven't been able to log in yet without a few kinds of error messages (e.g., adder, krait, etc.). I hope this is resolved soon, I've got a ton of testing to do!

3Dmigoto in hunting mode allows do disable shaders. See @Old Duck's Amazingly Realistic Mod for a little bit more information on 3dmigoto.

Hi Sally,

Is this to be considered the final lighting improvement? Is it now functioning as expected from fdev side?

I'm not saying aaaaaaaaaanything is final at this point. Not with the way Elite and feedback works.

 

[Ethaidan]

OK, but... Have there been any updates to the Map UI?

 

[Silver Arrow]

Nice patch, broke the game and nothing works. I wanted to search for level 3 weapons after the update, but all I found was only problems

ORANGE SIDEWINDER UPDATE

We believe we've found the issue and knocked it out of the game. You should now have a more stable experience, so anyone still trying - would you have a go for me please and let me know ? Thanks!

Nope. Multiple resets of PC and router. Can't get into the game at all.

What's up with people complaining about the launcher bulletin saying update 3? It was literally outdated for months before Odyssey's launch - do you think it's a priority?

Hiya - more new ones for you.

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/36304 - icon is the same for everyone!
and
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/35789 - strange graphical glitches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

These were the ones from earlier to save you going back to find them after rainbow snakes!

Do you think you can work your magic on these Sally please?

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/37214 - This one is the worst as it stops you buying your own ships and know what is in stock or not, not fixed with the size fix last week.
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/38889 - This one's new to update 4, all cosmetics gone nuts.

Not Carrier related.
https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/38889 - Gamma way, way to high - with everything else normal.

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/38392 - From last week!
Finally this one for now..

https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/34650 - This is minor, but drives me absolutely crazy as it is the first thing I see. Nearly 95% the text gets cut of at the

Thanks, were I your way I'd buy you a decent coffee - keep up the good work!

 

[SoReal]

Thanks so much for these thoughts. Seriously.
Is this Odyssey shot taken following even today's update?

Thanks!

see this is what I was talking about I put in an issue about this last week , and yes its still the same and I have also put some screenshots in this thread .

The faulty lighting , text brightness and general yukkyness is horrible , gives me a headache and eye strain , for the 3rd time I have said this

About the glass reflection performance problem,

I'd be interested, I don't go to leggy places.

Thanks for all of these Sally & FD posse!

You need to put a tip jar on the store for those who want to buy the team coffee and donuts

Stay strong, it's nearly the weekend!!!
