I did after patch a bunch of on-foot missions. Amongs them one was reactivation. Then 5 in a row crash site missions, each giving me 1-2 regulators (did not notice so many before). The only bug I found was items spawning under planet surface. So hope it to be fixed or developers give us a showel to dig for those items.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6
- Thread starter sallymorganmoore
- Start date
the new planet tech looks good, frame rates have improved for me, so im quite happySo in conclusion... such a long list of fixed bugs and nearly nothing changed. I don´t understand what´s their priority but this update is hot air... nothing else.
Some planets are good other not or unsharp. Framerates are the same without FSR. With FSR the image quality is really worse and that at using 4k resolution...
Stuttering/drops at Settlements... still as hell and since update 5!
Because theoretically FSR is the more advanced tech, and it's recomanded by AMD to remove the old tech implementation.
However i'm not sure it works actually better on 1080p screens, at least on my old card (980M), which officially isn't even supported.
I have the impression that i was better off with CAS, but i can't be sure, also because i suspect that the general performances of the concourse (where i do tests with the texts) is worsened in update 6 (but i still think it looked better)

I cannot use FSR on my 768p screen, unless I want MSDos level resolutions.
I have to use Supersampling to improve the quality, get rid of jaggies, I could use the Nvidia sharpening, but CAS was much better.
I guess I’ll just have to take the performance hit for now running with supersampling on 1.5x.
I dont get it either. 2 texture anomalies on the shotgun were fixed, it still cant aim down sight or change livery without getting a black adder.So in conclusion... such a long list of fixed bugs and nearly nothing changed.

Its as if looks is everything and functionality doesn't matter at all.
Have you turned it down in the ship section of the right hand panel, and in the graphics setup?Cockpit lighting is still way too bright

@sallymorganmoore - am sure people have already been in your ear about it, but the current lack of lights that NPCs have at night makes it more or less impossible to do anything in darkened settlements unless you have night vision.
Yea, not sure what the point of removing options is really. They were advised by AMD, probably AMD just want their best tech front and centre so.And that is exactly why we need the CAS option back. Because it is designed for that, unlike FSR.
@sallymorganmoore - the AMD FSR issue in VR has reached “confirmed” status overnight, and my Xbox controller issue is apparently due to a new “Diving Misc” menu option that had defaulted to “off” for some reason.
As an aside regarding Issue Tracker - several reports I’d been looking at over the past few weeks had received 10 apparently unique confirmations but not ticked over into “Confirmed” status, probably because one or more of the contributors hadn’t clicked the “can reproduce” button. Any chance that it can be changed such that one of the three buttons has to be clicked before a confirmation can be submitted?

Hello! I'm loving the UI changes so far (particularly on foot), but ive got a question?
I'm at the Hyford's Cache site right now. There are 2 new beacons here. One Ship's Data Core, and one Comms Control. Both are giving the same message. Are they both supposed to do that? Or is it supposed to be 2 different messages and this is just a new bug?
Edit: Also August 27!
Hellooo! Can confirm that it's intended that both give the same message.

Hello! I'm back! Can confirm all sounds correct and intended with this
There are two and both with the same message.Besides the performance issues (which aren't changed much except for who have the proper configuration for FSR to work well, while it's worse for who relied on CAS), i think there are some good improvements in update 6I've been reading through this threadnaut (a bit), to try and ascertain if Odyssey was worth installing again after update 6.
Seems like some things are better, some things are worse, and it's therefore a typical Frontier patch.
I'll wait. Lots of work still to do it seems.

No lights on NPC in settlements - is that ALL settlements or have some NPCs got night vision ?
The sheer amount of bugs and performance issues completely over shadows anything that is good about Elite at this point. Damage control done by the CMs even thou noticeable such as communication on forums and engagement with the forum users is a very welcome change still lack the additional steps such as giving anything as consolation (twitch drops that became non existent even thou we've been told they will come back) no support for the content creators that now left Elite for other games. If it goes on the game will be left only with the "hardcore" fans and all that we will see on the weekly streams will be stellar screenshots for which you don't need high fps or proper overall lightning with occasional streams of the CMs playing the game badly for an hour or so. Most of the rating of the Odyssey add-on are very low or just average and that's even before the hellstorm that will happen when the game will launch on consoles(if at all at this point, at least not on old gen consoles). So yeah, I don't see why there are people here on forums praising any work done by Fdev with Elite.
Sorry for the long post, had to rant.
