Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
Yes. Then disable cache in the same options menu before starting the verify again. But it still make take 10-15min after that.
Dear @sallymorganmoore and the lovely FDevs out there. I know its a long list of things remaining to fix it the game, but is there a possibility to put on the "thinks to do list" a disable button somewhere in the options to disable the Popup "console achievement types" in the right corner? or just remove them? I don`t really see the point for them. All the info you get from them is already there in the primary UI.
Thank You and remember don't work yourself too much, take breaks <3

@David Braben, @sallymorganmoore, @Arthur Tolmie please tell whoever is responsible for this fix that God bless him. We finally have the stars back in our space game. I feel so relieved.
@edit: The details are back, but it still lacks the proper lighting, but now i believe it's the overall darkness of the game.
And Thank you so much!!!

Hello!
I'm straddling two threads here, I do apologise BUT thought I'd share this for those with varying wait times for "preparing updates" after clearing cache/verification

Update 4 Orange Sidewinder Workaround and Investigation
Last night I logged out in the concourse of Bates' Pride. This morning I could not launch Elite Dangerous: Odyssey due to Orange Sidewinder. I also could not exit the game - it would just give me a black screen until I CTRL+ALT+DLTed. Verifying the game files did not resolve the issue. I...
I thank you 
I noticed the stars in the skybox look much better, with glow variations and colors are noticeable again. I'm still not seeing the dust and clouds, I'm not sure if that is supposed to be included in this update or that's coming later. But overall a step in the right direction for sure, looks noticeably better. Ship interior (krait phantom) looks brighter too. all in all positive progress. Would still like to see some variations to the blackness of space like we had in HOrizon though, with the blue cloud/dust becoming more visible as you move away from the primary.
I don't think anyone here doubts how much of an amazing job you are doing Sally. Thank you so much!Hello!

I posted this in another thread but will add here to the feedback. There was a comment in the patch notes about on-foot chat being updated to work more like in-ship chat. However I am not able to use TAB to cycle between chat channels using either the quick comms box or the radial menu chat, while on foot. Just an FYI for the team.

Too, too kind. I know today might have felt rough but LOOK HOW FAR WE'VE COME (although...still Sidewinders but...we'll get there).

Ooo ok, thanks. This sounds ultra bad but with everything going on - would you mind linking me to that post you did via DM please? So I can visit it when the dust settles? Thanks
Nope, still Orange SW
Don't get too excited, the second reproduction message on the issue tracker says "Last patch did not change much"
did you try right clicking in the same area anyway as where you saw my email address? it could be that the steam login name (it should say your real name for steam login - as opposed to email address for when you use another login) is just the wrong font color / unavailable font ... but it's still there.
Have you guys considered an outage window and staggered reintroduction of clients? Seems a lot of chasing around is crush of clients trying to jump on at the same time. Might help you guy tear out less hair if the clients were rolled in over a few hours instead of "Ding ding ding..... come and get it!!!" MAybe I'm off base there but seems a lot of the early reporting of broken things tends to be resolved after some time to stabilize.

So sorry, I'm behind on things here but have you tried all the options in this new thread https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...ewinder-workaround-and-investigation.582654/?
Again I am SO sorry if you've said you have elsewhere. I'm a little chaotic haha!
Did you edit your GraphicsConfiguration.xml on Horizon's install folder to improve detail on the Skybox? If you did, you might wanna reproduce the same tweaks on Odyssey's GraphicsConfiguration.xml file.
Or, you can do as i did, that was leaving both in default (i had to roll back Horizon's file) and applying the tweaks in the GraphicsConfigurationOverride.xml file on:
C:\Users\Neu\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics
So both Horizons and Odyssey will have the same tweaks.
Note that the game is still dark, which dims a lot of details, but the stars details are definitely back.

are you saying that just updating an xml file restores the clouds ???
Can you post the updates? I have never done this.
