Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5

[xzanfr]

They can wipe your beta, if you wish...

I'm playing a faulty released product and wish to retain my progress.

But I guess mentioning 'beta' is helping you feel 'cool', so carry on

I'm not being sarcastic, I honestly thought it was still a beta - FD are asking for focused feedback and modifying the game to suit like during the other beta's, and the optimisation stuff is not going to be finalised until the release for the consoles. It's all a bit WIP.

Also, helping me feel 'cool'...
This guy called from the milk bar and wants his comment back!

It's almost like ... they're still working on the game!

Stop it. People have it on good authority that the game is over now.

Did it mention beta when you bought it?
Or at any time following?

Or even on the launcher?

I'm told with good authority that in six months there will only be a few hundred players active!

A youtuber said so!

I'm a KS backer so paid in advance years ago and don't really pay much attention to updates anymore, things just sort of appear and change stuff sometimes for good and sometimes for bad. The launcher had the same text on for months and changes colour every so often so it's just a fancy start button.

As I said before, this all felt like a beta with its own forum, feedback / bug report requests and constant updates as FD have done in the past.

I can't be expected to actually pay attention to any of the information I'm being presented with - that's way above my interest threshold!

Unfortunately the issue with engine audio cutting out when dropping at starports remains (it's been around since the alpha)

If anyone notices the same and wants to add their confirmation, the issue tracker ticket is here - https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/32599

Thanks to everyone who's added to this, the issue's confirmed and is now at the voting stage.

It is remarkable how unnerving it is to pilot the ship without engine noise.

You know, I took a break for a couple of years when the elite got tired of me. When I didn't know what to do in it. Not very nice, then how you did it by selling me all this. I'll just leave, thinking that I donated to you for development. As it would be if it was a kickstarter. All I hope is that you do not fly into the hole with all this garbage that you do not have time to pick up, and which is falling apart in your arms.
Hopefully when I look into Odyssey a year later, I see a new optimized game full of new content. And not the message that "We are sorry, but due to the critically low attendance, we have to close the servers."

Good luck with everything like that. No more pre-purchases, no more 2-3 months of monitoring FDev results.

P.S.
I’ll see how events will unfold. It's definitely more interesting to me than most TV shows. Such a drama! Such a tragedy! This is a masterpiece!

I mean: ED updates, or Space lego.

Which ones going to win?

The internal power struggle between elite and lego has been going on in my head for decades!

We both know which one will win though.

Didn't you leave last week too?

Oh yes. Lego was first so will always win...
...But there's room for doing both.

If only swooshing was an on foot activity

 

[thistle]

Oh Thistle, you always make me laugh with your comments. Always mirrors my exact feeling.

that's because we're both Rat Catcher alts

 

[thistle]

Stop it. People have it on good authority that the game is over now.

But it's true, and there's even a free Idris waiting for them at Port Olisar!

 

[ebbrell]

Any news if when full new FSR will be introduced?
Thanks for CAS but its not as good as the new FSR

This will certainly help the amd based consoles as well

I remember that thread!

So, if we're meant to drop specific examples of graphical issues here; The stranded Anaconda from the latest Adamastor mystery chapter is a decent case study on the argueably minor matter of decals behaving strangely. In this case, the transparent part of any scorchmark decals applied on parts of the ship that are in shadow, brightens the plating underneath them, and gives it a strong specular quality.

(Are the new materials on crashed Thargoid interceptors intended to be dark and have a chunky gloss to them, by the way? -They used to be matte medium gray... Has anybody been around to any of the large Tharg sites, and seen whether the insect-wing pattern iridescence remains on main structure surfaces? :7)
