Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6

[Darth Ender]

yeh, because UI should be rendered after upscalings using native final resolution, then all could work

that would still leave 1080p players who are using fsr to have unreadable text that is part of ship or building textures via decals. The decals can't be rendered in native vs the base textures because i'd think it would look super out of place if part of the image is crisp ..and the rest is not.

For the UI that difference is fine..and not jarring. But seeing what should be a single object but with two drastically different qualities ..is about as noticeable as the LOD issues on the surface of planets.

1080p people should simply not be using FSR by default. the previous finity fx cas method @ 0.85 supersampling was an acceptable compromise for 1080p players. but FSR even at ultra quality is not doing as good of a job as that.

obviously the real problem is not which bandaid is best. But if fdev is able to actually fix / optimize their engine in a way that doesn't have a bunch of players who shouldn't be using these things from feeling like they have to.

EDO is obviously visually lightyears ahead of Horizons.

View attachment 253546View attachment 253547View attachment 2535484 sallymorganmoore to pay attention, pls.

Have to report a weird mission conclusion here.
The mission was "Grab the Ship Schematic from crash site"...

So I found the crash site, killed 4 criminals there, opened a crate and took the needed schematic...
All went well, I boarded the ship but did not depart - I exited the game. After entering the game again - my ship was levitating over the ground so I flew to the mission giver to finish it.
After entering social space and pressing negotiate key, I saw this (see screen 1).
Ok, I pushed a blank space where something like "OK" should have been stated...
Bytheway, no any sound was produced (I mean a specific sound of successful mission fulfill) after pressing that blank space...
And then, when, eventually, I opened my Backpack - I found the mission Schematic there! (see screen 2).
Moreover, when I went to the bartender, I successfully could sell that thing there. (see screen 3).

PLs, make a proper decisions here.
Thx in advance.

I reported this a while ago.

Was told to make an issue report but let's be real.

This community won't vote on bugs that can benefit them.

You can check the screenshots thread, the top 100 screenshots would now all be EDO. It's also not really controversial outside the chronically frustrated and angry DD group who have to always be upset about literally everything, all the time, for no reason.

EDO looks fantastic compared to Horizons, which was looking extremely dated. Must suck to hear, but you'll live.

You can't, FSR is always applied to final frame output, way at the end.

I'm genuinely struggling to understand how anyone, short of a legally blind person, could possibly think that Horizons planets ever looked better than Odyssey planets.

There's no comparing the quality between the two. Sure the colours were lacking but even that is getting sorted.

I’ll post this again - it can look loverly but a few planets look like the need work - and most of them Canyons and mountains With steep sides.

so patch 6 took away the handy info on the right of the system map when looking at settlements, now it just shows planetary info instead
View attachment 253566
how to find out threat levels etc now?

Can they ever release a patch that doesn't regress something....arg! You'd think 7 odd years in they'd have this sorted. Frustrating

Some more observations on latest patch here...

A plenty of ticks in options at Galaxy and System Map are not saved after restarting game...

These are:

• Show controls
• Population range
• many others...

Some are saved only when playing one session, but after exit/enter game - all return to default state.

Some settlements manage to drop fps to single digit with good period, like each 20s or 30s.
And each time I see NPC ship near by. I think ... that is "Ultra terrain LoD" + flying ship do that, just my theory.

 

[sallymorganmoore]

@sallymorganmoore - Please bring back the option to use CAS. FSR is, to my eye, so much less appealing. I’ve not gained any performance using it beyond what CAS gave and Ultra Quality performs worse. I’ve lost control of the level of SS beyond broad quality settings. I’ve lost any sense of realistic appearance to low angle terrain with shimmering noise in the background. Stations in the dark are aliased up messes. Text is harder to read.

This is the most unenthusiastic I have felt since update 4. It’s been rather downhill for me since then but at least CAS looked good.

Hellooo! This is a big topic for feedback collection right now so just wanted to say it's noted Thank you!

PBR is definitely, 100%, a better system to work with.

Does this take into consideration the performance hit? I'd rather have a locked 60 fps (80 in VR) using Horizons lighting than 20 fps using PBR, since framerate is a HUGE part of presentation.

Thank you Sally! I understand the flood has to be massive. I appreciate the SYN-ACK!!!

@sallymorganmoore - the lack of flashlights thing on NPCs is making missions without night vision impossible:

Thanks for all the work, Sallers!!!!!

 

[SteveTR]

There's already a bug report on the issue tracker: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/41163

I've added to my bit to the tracker bug report. There's only 4 reports on it so far though.

I'll just say, I switched back to normal upscaling 0.65x and enabled sharpening in the Nvidia control panel. Looks and performs better than FSR on performance setting.

On an unrelated note, I got a client crash again while performing a settlement power plant shutdown. It crashed the second the shutdown process was complete.
I am almost at the point already of saying "nice try, see you in update 7".

The commandos AI with access privileges 0 to 2 are still able to enter an access 3 level area with access door not overloaded (i.e. PWR), then what is the point of the access privileges?
