Thx for the reply and apology.

How about telling us why the performance is still so bad? i mean you guys said you want to be more open with the community.
It would be also better if we know because if we dont know most people with problems will rant on how sh*t the game is. If we would know what is the cause and that you are eager to fix it our mood wouldnt be so bad and we could understand it better. but the dead silence is noo good at all.

You already f****ed the release up big time so atleast tell us WHY you did and that you want to improve it. You cant make it worse by telling us.

is it a Major problem? is it related to Culling? Is it incompetence of one of the employees? did someone messed up the Code? Has an artist forgot to optimize some assets? Did you break the renderer? is it because of the planet tech or the new PBR system? Was it because of Corona and working from home and a lack of communication between employees and you messed up the branch merge?

Just give us something to build our thrust in you as a company again. These "roadmap" infos are just to shallow. You could also give us some info what is coming next for Odyssey like a real Roadmap should do. Atleast to make up your mistakes with the release and try to get the community back on track and maybe like you.

I was also a Coaster Head supporter for Planet Coaster since Frontier created RCT3 and it had a really big impact on my childhood and life (went from modding RCT3 to my curront job as an 3D artist) and i always wanted to give you something back. I really loved the Concept art & other stuff as a Coaster Head and i honestly wished Elite would every now and then drop something to get the Hype up but you are just so introverted. But now you ripping everyone off with that release and still dont feel to make things clear. just why? I grew more mature since RCT3 times but apparently Braben or the Company didnt because it seems you are just to scared of sharing things or making things clear when you know how bad you messed up. Are you scared of the reaction once again if you make things clear? If yes why?

You cant make me feel more angry by telling me since you (as a company) are already on the lowest point from my perspective. atleast give me something so i can understand it.

but sure you will not and i will still sit being mad on that blatant ripoff and cant play the game.

-well played Frontier

This is harsh but these are fair questions to be asked. The tone might be a bit much but I can completely understand players’ frustrations growing the longer this drags out.

This guy is not wrong.

Yea I pretty much can't do anything on foot unless I'm on a planet with nothing around. Tired to do a re-power mission and I swear my gfx card wanted to die when it saw all the fire, smoke and sparks in the bad building. And trying to shoot stuff with massive frame drop, well tried it bunch of times and pretty much have given up on doing that sort of stuff.

Yes, this question does beg to be answered as there is no way they had a single machine that ran EDO with good performance before release to say that it’s just something they didn’t catch. The bad performance is a universal thing so if you even installed EDO on a single machine before launch, you would have caught it.

So again, WHAT happened?

Especially as we had a “paid” alpha, though you could argue we’re still in the paid alpha stage..

Probably they didn't turn the fps meter on 🤷‍♂️

Actually, they probably were well aware of it, since they raised "release" min specs, and they were certainly well aware that it couldn't possibly run on consoles, but they couldn't do anything about it since, as we are well aware now, it something they'll take months to fix, if they ever manage to.

You should use native 1720x720 resolution, it is faster. That statement has been tested.

Also "decent framerates" must be defined.
For example stable 60 fps feels better than jumps from 80 fps to 240 fps. That statement also has been tested.

I can vouch for the FPS increase using 720p, I get 20 % faster with an RX 500

The answer is likely as simple as they knew about the problems(they were reported in Alpha), and knew it needed to be fixed, but the bean counters and suits wanted to meet that quarterly goal, and unfortunately, they were overridden into release this bug filled lag fest trashfire to keep investors happy. Unfortunately, sending a broken product out the door and fixing it later in a release beta where clowns like us test it after having payed for it seems to be the norm rather than the exception nowadays.

As the title says. we are 4 "Performance" updates in and i still cant play in Settlements & Stations with decent frames.

3900x / 32GB Ram / 3060Ti / SSD - latest Drivers / Bios

getting 25 Fps on settlements / concourses even on Low in 3440x1440 with 0.5SS so basically 1720x720 resolution
- on Ultra / High it gets worse oviously

i payed literally for nothing since most content of Odyssey is blocked by a bad FPS....

getting a refund seems impossible so thank you for that...

I hope you fix the performance with the next update or AT LEAST allocate MOST your ressources to focus on the performance and not some silly things like ARX on foot.

i am really pi**ed by the lack of communication regarding WHY the frames are still so bad for many players.

You just say "performance fixes" and let me tell you i had ~40fps on settlements / concourses in 4k on high / Ultra at launch and you crippled the frames on my mashine with each update. What are you doing?

This is unaccaptable!

That must be a massive heatsink for it to work full passive.

Hey Cobra 3.0, massive new DLC and the worst plague since Spanish flu. What could possibly go wrong?
Pp needs missions
Sometimes it does feel like lego
Flesh out fundamentals first
Agree

give they time it’s like trying to eat the meatballs without disturbing the spaghetti probably. They will eventually fix it so it’s Horizonable or Torches!

I get 50+ fps in Concourse on Ultra (higher with shadows on medium) with a Ryzen 3600X and an NVIDIA 1660Ti at 1920x1080 resolution.

It's really interesting to see the higher end cards struggle and I'm definitely curious why.

Because the focus is getting it to work on consoles… they have to put all of their optimization work on lesser hardware architecture. FDev seems to think the future of gaming is in the distant past…
