Small item, but in camera suit, no shoulder patch decalc are visible on any suit principillay because selected colour is ignored (e.g. white decalc on black shoulder patch is rendered black istead of white and black decalc on white shoulder patch is renderd white instead of black)
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
So far, this update has been good to me. My FPS are better during Restore missions and the planets generally look much better, there is still work to be done on the blending of colors on planets.
There is one amazingly good thing I noticed after the update is that scavengers are immediately hostile to your ship when entering a settlement, but they still pay it no mind when landed within sight of the settlement. I do wish that the scavengers would cut into doors and search the interior of the buildings.
Thank you for the consistent effort and the much improved communications. You guys rock.

Ouch ...I had reset visual additions on current equipped only ...I think.
I´ve tested it and update 6 is sadly not i was expecting. No (0,0%) performance improvments at stations or settlements. Some settlements still have fps drops down to 15 fps and stuttering really hard when i move/drive around. FSR is compared to SS in no way better. It brings absolutly nothing because of the lack of a good AA mode like TAA or MSAA.
Some planets looking good right now but some are very unsharp...
Scavengers AI is still dump. They are standing still till i hit them. Really weird...
Accept a Mission somtimes end up in a disconnect (Adder Failure).
And now... yeah waiting a long long time again for Update 7 in hope that all the aboved bugs will be terminated......
Next Disappoinment
Thank you for nothing.

The updates to the star prominences
FSR is a step in the right direction.
Generally, when running VR Medium on a RTX 3070, I can live with it, as long as I stay in space or on planets. That's why I play ED anywho. The annoying thing is that the game looks so bleeding awesome in Ultra, but that's a no-go in VR, so it's fps or LOD. That's not new, but the game still needs optimization. When I play MSFS 2020 on the same rig I get much better fps and LOD, so it's not my hardware.

Sally here is the submitted tracker information. It is a consistent issue.

Thank you for the cool communication about the update. Like it and you can tell the dev team that they made great progress.
I've got some early feedback regarding performance in VR and the FSR feature. Hope you don't mind sharing it with the devs.
Got a Lonovo Explorer driven by a GTX 1070.
If FSR is enabled, even on ultra, the loss of quality is quite noticeable in VR. And with noticeable I mean not a bit, I mean you cant recognize text anymore at all. Like having to read the last line at the eye doctor without your glasses and 5+ dioptrine. So kind of not aly beneficial - at least in VR.
So I had to disable the option and fall back to Normal, since the option in Update 5 is not available anymore. The Update 5 option gave me at least some crisp image which was noticeable sharper than before I ever played. Now with update6 and the normal upscaling quality has decreased and I have the feeling that also FPS have decreased. At least there are also some additional situations where FPS just dropped to single digits which was not the case in update 5. (I was entering the ship in the hangar and then the performance in the cockpit dropped)
So all in all I'd say - sorry, but I'm not impressed. Maybe the devs should have one more look.
By the way as a general feedback: While FSR is sure a nice thing, I think It's a measure of last resort improving the frame rate when everything else has been done which is possible. When I compare the scene/effect complexity of Elite Dangerous and other games I need to recognize that there is quite something possible to being optimized. FSR is just basically getting the performance by not rendering the game at the intended resolution and using advanced upscale technology to hide that.

All of my suits are still there, all upgrades and mods intact. I think you need to contact support. Good luck Commander.
- During Peak Times UK/EU Commanders were struggling to Instance with NA Commanders in a stable manner. We hope now that this has been addressed, but please do get in touch if you're still finding issues.
Would this have been what was causing me (Missiouri) and my friend (Hawaii) to not even see that each other is playing in game (except when at the main menu)?
Want to put plug in that VR feels so much smoother *(even without FSR). It is now officially smooth / playable including the worst of settlements and resource zone combat. No more random stutters and sudden drops in FPS (on my 3070). Thanks FDev, a significant improvement in your product.
Interestingly FSR has a bug in the simulated flat screen in VR that makes it unusable, this has been submitted as a bug.

After playing a few hours... not a great patch. Not cool with the changes on AMD supersampling. Some more frames in some places, some less in others. Gathering materials changes are horrible, not ergonomic (ouch my hand) nor well designed; have to hold E and can't press it down before cursor is right over the item, and you can't move it away to check surroundings either or you'll have to start again. And in some places I got the new mechansim (holding down E to pick up), while other items in same locations were picked up with the old, better, mechanism of just clicking E. Tried four Odyssey missions, two which bugged out; one scavenger hunt where on two first goes one of them spawned inside a wall making it impossible to get all the kills, and in the last effort the last kill didn't count. "At least" I got a fine for abandoning it... GG. Other mission that bugged was fetch, with the keypad code bugging out. Also, there could be a function where the game would warn you if you're about to sell mission specific item to the bar tender. If you care about such things as quality of life improvements. Also, several crashes while the game was idle or when minimizing. Not looking good.
Also just got notoriety for PvE.
Odyssey remains so, so far away from being more than a paid beta. Such a shame. Really hoping Fdev manages to fix it eventually before things really start to affect the player base.
A lot of work to be done. At least they're trying. I reckon.

Update:
Oh wait, it's actually not that bad. Only the configured loadouts were gone, I just have to reconfigure them. I was just panicking.
The wine was cheap, but pretty good...
Glad to hear it, and about the wine
Havent heard it on Reddit or in my squadron either. Definitely contact support, response time might be slower though. :/I just hope they are not too busy right now...
But looks like I'm really the only one. That's what I wanted to know, thanks for that.
Edi: nvm, saw your update. Glad to hear!
It looks not only mission giver has been moved...
^^^^^ this.
I did fallback to normal too now, and it looks like Horizons...I mean...I had problem in Horizons to read proper 6 or 8 or 0 on right side of screen, then it was fixed in build 600 by CAS - I could see everything OK, and now it is back again..as it was.
Great job. Few mishaps I can see in some areas right away after playing just couple of hrs but most of those I'm sure can be hotfixed.
This update was much needed to make gameplay better and possible with mission bugs fixed. I will not comment on performance because I didn't mess around with my settings yet and I have to check out how AMD Super-Res will work out for me. Once again, Great Job !!
Trying to use FSR on a 1080 resolution wont do much.
It's not designed for that. It's designed for larger resolutions, while not losing as much performance.
And that is exactly why we need the CAS option back. Because it is designed for that, unlike FSR.
I tried that, and then i found that now there is a separate option to enable the context menu on srv and on foot (driving miscellaneous and on foot miscellaneous), enabling that it works like horizons.Answering my own post after a further trawl of Issue Tracker - it’s an already reported problem:
…but doesn’t have the required confirmations yet. Time is getting short for the report and Expiration looms
Controller users unite! Hands to Confirmation Stations!
(please remember to click “can reproduce” when Confirming)
However iirc in horizons worked even without the context menu enabled.
