You've got one issue there they won't know its fixed with out a large player base playing it after patches. We already know it released with Frontier thinking it was ok.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5

The sharpening effect is the FidelityFX CAS slider.
I think servers are either very slow or not pinged as often. Ranks don't update properly in time, engineers don't get unlocked and so forth. Might just trigger tomorrow... :/Just curious. Did the FDEV rebalance the on-foot rank milestones in this patch?
According to this article:
Exobiologist
Exobiologist is a career that involves On Foot scientific activities. A Genetic Sampler of the Artemis Suit is used to collect samples of alien species. The data can be sold to Vista Genomics. Your ship should be equipped with a Detailed Surface Scanner to find exobiology. This career is...elite-dangerous.fandom.com
At 150mil total profit, I should get the Geneticst rank. I currently have 167mil and I'm still 46% Ecologist despite having first Codex reports (13 entries total in 4 regions), 86 mil from first discoveries etc.
tldr; if you're having performance issues since Update 5 and you have VSync enabled, try disabling it
So, I've just been messing around with some graphics settings to see if I could induce the terrible framerates others have reported. I'm lucky with my setup; I get a stable~80-90 FPS in every area of a station, but since Update 5 the one setting that will induce horrible frame hitching absolutely without fail is enabling VSync. With VSync on and a 60Hz refresh rate, my stable 80-90 FPSdrops to 60 in the main area of the concourse as you'd expect, but as soon as I wander into a store or near an elevator of some kind the in-game FPS counter shows around 50 but the on-screen FPS is definitely more like single digits.
YMMV, but I think I'll be keeping VSync off for now.

i posted about this on another thread and earlier on in this one. If the container is not listed in the console it will be outside on a roof. This has been confirmed by other CMDR's after my findings.
this right here, not completely gone but made a huge improvement.
Look a BIZARRE thing:

the forum is the game. If you had been a good player, you'd have read the tons of posts saying that switching between horizons and odyssey resets your custom keybindings.
Fdev's not gonna do something like hold your hand with a feature that backs up keybindings or gives each client their own copy with the option of starting from an existing one or any kind of similar feature you'd expect in a client from some lesser company. Git Gud and find those keybinding files yourself in the maze of folders Elite Dangerous uses and creates in your user folder and copy and back them up manually or go home.
Hmm, just tried to switch between my custom setting (basically everything set to the highest setting) and low. The frame rate didn't really change (I was in Jameson's Social Space). I then switched back to the custom setting and saw no improvement.
Where I used to hit frame rates between 80 and 110 here in patch 4, I now hit between 70 and 85 (this is on a RTX 3090 combined with a Ryzen 7 3800X).
I then looked at the settings individually and saw both a Blur and the new CAS setting. I switched both off and that improved my frame rates to between 80 and 95.
So for me this patch has dropped performance i.s.o improving it, but my frame rates are still high enough that the game remains playable.
the new amd setting improves performance by allowing you to lower your supersampling while not making the game look much worse than what your supersampling setting was at before the new amd fidelity option.
so if you normally play at 1.0 try playing at 0.85 with the amd fidelity setting turned on and the sharpness setting at whatever the default is.
I'm assuming fdev is going to try and use this feature as a crutch to get framerates without the more complicated work of creating optimized shaders and rendering pipelines. So if you want better framerates, you might as well do some trial and error on how low you can do supersampling before you start caring about how it's looking with the new fidelity scaler feature.
BUG - "Chargaff Installation" in the "Chakpa System" shown in Navigation Panel as Platform but actually is a Station. Docking with Type 9 gives error Scarlet Krait

It's nice to hear that a 3090 can (kind of) brute force its way through the mess called Odyssey. At least it gives us some hope that in a few years maybe we will be able to squeeze decent frame rates out of our new 5090's.
In a few years /me hopes the industry has got to the computing power level it has become able to deprecate rasterization, and gone start-to-finish raytracing.It's nice to hear that a 3090 can (kind of) brute force its way through the mess called Odyssey.

The nature of Elite raises some demands on lighting and shadows that so far go unfulfilled. :7

Same here.
If a change from ultra to low, almost no difference in frame rate.
Changing settings in general causes erratic performance until a restart from menu.

I am not a computer geek but my game is totally mess up after the update, my thrustmaster 16,000 throttle wont work in Odyseey or horizons now Joy stick does key board and mouse does. When I map to other keys they work sometimes. My system map wont move away from main star try to move it away and goes right back. Cant jump into super cruise at all it just heats up, even after I disengage it and try again. I was totally upset so just blew my ship up to get back to station. my Commanders name is lyndeb email address is kellydebbie43@yahoo.com. I cant even play in Horizons now it is mess up the same. I have tried everything I know and nothing seems to work. I go into options to look at key bindings and when I scroll down it just goes back to top, scroll down back to the top, repeat and rinse. I have uninstalled odyssey and still am experiencing the problems. I do understand you all are busy but any help would be appreciated at this time.
Sincerely a sad Elite Dangerous Commander

Have to say that made me smile and see the funny side
This is with an allied faction. A fine, yes I take that. Blow up my ship? That's mean but okay you trigger happy crazy security bods. Send me 2400 light years away for tapping a rock, ah man, I might as well have shot them all and blown up their base, it would have been more enjoyable!
