Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6

you know what... NO. I am not really interested in this any more... i do have enough.
FPS are even worse than before again. now 22fps in HANGAR... well lol, before 6 i had around 30... top job!
i just want to play a game and not play a graphics optimizer where every setting can up everything for your experience.
screw this... iam out...
Ok, but as far as i am aware its always been the same. was only tying to help dude
 
Thanks for this brilliant update. In SRV and planetside, I have now >80 fps on high settings (RTX2080Ti) - with same settings before they were at 60. Definitely a huge improvement - keep up the good work!

Hmm, trying update no. 6 while playing on GFN servers (1080p resolution) and first feelings are that game performance is worse:
  • settlements fps drops during movement to single digits
  • game crashed after serie of fps drops when leaving settlement and trying jump to another system
  • game menus are blurred (they are worse readable now as it was before). I used nvidia filters to make it little more sharper which works, it is still not great but at least usable.
  • trying use AMD Super-resolution results with even more uglier and blurred menus.

Will see tomorrow how it wil look on my 1070Ti.

What you have described is exactly what I experienced with Update 5. Update 6, for me, has largely been a success (with the odd pitfall, one involving a taxi and another the amount of notoriety my playstyle now generates). I don't know why people have such wildly differing experiences with updates. I suspect that if Frontier worked this out they could fix the game for everyone. Let's hope so eh? I hope you get better results on the 1070.
 
"reads more like this is another huge page of what we missed on the release.

I have no idea what you even could offer as compensation for months of pure loss after loss after loss in the game that has occurred for so many of us BGS supporters.
for me, losing a minimum of 2 years of effort. add it up. You tell me what you think that kind of dedication deserves after having a very large portion of my work destroyed because of a poor poor broken release.
Any idea at all how much effort and time it takes to move a faction into 20 systems????"
I presume all that was done in Horizons, so why are you playing Odyssey ? Surely you can go back to EDH and continue there and just wait until EDO fulfils your requirements.
Odyssey was always going to be a strange duck considering what was going to be implemented in the new code and rewrite and it was always going to be a balancing act between keeping the good stuff (objective to each player) and what could not stay (subjective to each player).
There was always going to be tears, EDO is practically a different game to EDH.
As for compensation for your opinion into deprivation of life, thats a joke yes ?
 
Cockpits still way too bright.
Antialiasing is still shocking. FSR is a band aid for poor coding
Graphics card is cooking just sitting in the station menu @ 110 degrees
Modifications tab does not work when viewing modules with engineering on them.

Do they even test these patches ?
I am now coming around to the idea that Odyssey is not fixable. give everyone £30 worth of ARX in good faith and just pull it from sale.
 
@sallymorganmoore : I think I found something that changed with update 6?

When I now scan a planet the probe range is WAY bigger then before?
Normally the scan range is about half the planet or 2/3.
Now the range is the whole front side.
The percentages seem to be the same but the graphic representation is WAY off.

Or did you shrink the planets?
 
Does anyone know how to get rid of Odyssey from my machine completely and get back to the Blue launcher I had before I installed Odyssey ?

cockpits yeah maybe a bit bright in stations but down to preference i suppose, fsr pretty good, graphics card 72 degrees, engineering tab no idea,
and i want to keep odyssey
 
The cockpits are not just too bright in stations they are also too bright in space, like driving your car at night with the courtesy lights on.
Do you actually prefer it like that ?
FSR is a band aid, I want good performance at native 3440x1440 1.0 SS, You may be happy with slightly better FPS with degraded graphics but this is 2021, we should not be needing workarounds for a graphically simple game such as Elite.

I preferred them when they was really dark in beta, but apparently i was in the minority so they listened to people and changed it accordingly its fine but not really to my taste
 
WHY??? Answer "GRIND" those keys! Seriously! When you need to repeat an action over and over thousands of times make it as big of a pain as possible?????? This is what someone who doesn't play this game would think is a good idea!!!!!! I could clear a locker in like 2 secs. Now if it's full it takes one sec per item.
  • Illegal interactions (Hacking, taking stolen/illegal items, pressing illegal consoles) now require a press and hold for 1 second to avoid accidental criminal activity.

And that's just it with FDev, the community said they were too dark so they turned them up to 10, that's what they do all the time..
I am now convinced there is no one left at Frontier towers that actually plays the game at all.
The community gave them feedback that they were now to bright but nothing in patch 6 to tone it down a bit.
Do a mission in Horizons then the same in Oddity and tell me what you feel is the better lighting.
 
Ok so I have another bit of a weird one for you Sally,

When entering the 'Purchase Ships' and 'Manage Ships' and also the internal 'Livery' section. The up and down arrows to move the cursor to say 'confirm' when you want to transfer a ship ONLY work on the controller and not the HOTAS when both are bound, the same goes for navigating the 'Livery' internal menus... ALL OTHER menus have no problem accepting the up and down inputs to move around menus with the HOTAS. I can do everything else so there is a problem in these three areas.

Additionally when you select Y to bring up the extra info for the ships.. there is no way to scroll up and down that internal screen without using a mouse, it is utterly unnavigable with a HOTAS.. strangely if you use a mouse to get into it, you CAN scroll up and down and exit the info using a controller but you cannot ENTER it with a controller.
[EDIT]
even weirder still, the controller WILL enter (and exit) that ship info slider area if you go into the 'Your Ships' section on the right of this screen.. it will not enter it if you go into the 'Purchase Ships' or 'Manage Your Ships' screen in the Shipyard.

This is the ship info menu on the right that is inaccessible under certain circumstances.

Sorry for the late ping, this is just so you get it tomorrow, hope you slept well! @sallymorganmoore

Any chance Jaques will be at Jaques Station to give us something to drink at the station bar?

Jaques is Salvation. He's decided to get back into the black ops game but with a mission to topple The Club - which he had inadvertently created 300 years ago while completing a mission that they let him take the fall for.
