Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

Yes, progressions is very wonky with Edo.
FWIW, I don't have EDO so this is on EDH. I had some problems with imperial/federal ranking just after EDO was released but that seems fixed as I've successfully ranked for both the empire and the federation. I've also ranked both as a trader and as an explorer, so this also seems to work (in EDH). I'm 18% from making dangerous in combat, so I guess I'll see if that works relatively soon. For me the big issue at the moment is that I don't get any combat bonds added to my stats, which makes ranking with a few bubble engineers impossible.
 
That would suck. I so much more prefer EDO over horizons, no way I want them to pull it. Why not just play Horizons if you prefer it, why take Edo from others?
Because it would be a clean cut and stop the PR desaster somewhat. No need to wipe the progress, it can be kept, it can even proceed to be collected in the beta and then taken into live once it's finished and working as it should for the majority at least.

How would it stop the PR disaster? People who want to play Horizons now can do so already, all you do is ruin the fun of people enjoying EDO.

About the glass reflection performance problem,
I just want to confirm that it 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.

Those are precisely the places I screenshotted in my thread, including the red glass.

I found the opposite with the GPU and CPU usage, oddly enough. Both would drop at the same time my frame rate was tanking.

When you disable the shader, do you find the overall frame rate at settlements/concourses improves?

Also, is there a method to disable that shader? I'm keen to experiment.

Something that bugs me since the release of Odyssey. Even with recent iterations on the lighting, these issues still persist.
  • The HUD is really dark. It went from a nice, bright orange in horizons to a dark, de-saturated orange in odyssey. Some parts are hard to read, like the comms panel on the top left. Furthermore, the vibrant light blue of our shields is now a un-saturated turquoise. (I guess it's more of an color issue with the HUD than a brightness issue)
  • Stars are still missing a lot of bloom when seen from a farther distance.
  • Nebulae, even after recent changes, are still hard to see, same applies for the stars in the skybox.
Just to highlight my points a bit more:

I also created a new ticket for these issues. I would really appreciate it if you could acknowledge these issues and pass them onto the devs :)


Thank you very much for your hard work!

In Odyssey, stars and space between, looks more natural than in Horizons, imo.
 
I validated in Steam, then validated in the Frontier launcher with the cache options turned off. Steam seemed to run another verify/update and I've been in Odyssey ever since.
 
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

If you manage to get in (try the ED Launcher validate files fix if you've yet to do so), Gabriel Enterprise in Harma were selling Level 3 Manticore Executioners for 4m credits.

Working on it :) It's just text to change and with all of the high priorities like the Sidewinders and issues fed in here I've got it a bit lower on my list :)
Could we please take a side step from people's issues to ask about the patch notes though?

In the Road Map it said today would have 'Codex CMDR Stats'.

Is the 'distance travelled on foot' the only one we are getting? Are there going to be Exobiologist and Mercenary stats?
 
Unfortunately it seems I can't drop out at starports without it taking forever and resulting in an Orange Sidewinder, which then prevents me from logging back in.
Interestingly, restarting the client seems to fix it, but I appear several megametres away from the starport, and dropping out throws me back into Orange Sidewinder purgatory...

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

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!

Lots and lots there! Appreciate it! I sadly am up against it right now with some stability issues and things BUT I will absolutely see what I can do when I have breathing room :) Thank you!
