Yeah, the only thing that would have made it better is if the bandits left the ship alone so as to not tip you off and started a base sweep to ambush you.
Update 6 your thoughts?
- Thread starter Athlon-uk
- Start date
Were you looking something illegal? It only delays if the looting would be a crime. It needs to be an option very badly because it makes doing theft an absolute pain in the rear.
People don't seem to understand that in galaxy full of spaceships, elevators could have evolved...
the idea that a cylindrical lift could rotate might break the human mind.
It seems to be a very fragile thing, these days.
For the above first mission, guess you have to hold down the E key for a few seconds in order to retrieve illegal items. Also, have to hold down F key for few seconds to use e-breach since it is also illegal anytime. Guess I should have looked closer at patch notes. I did three more POI missions (1 retrieval, 1 salvage, and 1 larceny). The first two worked fine. On the third (larceny), the POI showed up, I was able to find the containers, but it would not let me successfully complete the mission. It would check off every step but failed to give the final step ("Leave the area"). Also, on the map, it indicated the system but not the planet with a mission marker. When I went to the system, I could find the planet on the navigation panel highlighted in blue and when using FSS to scan the plan and then approaching, the POI appeared.
Also, on the larceny mission, one of the containers was embedded into the mountain, so couldn't use cutting torch to cut open the panel. Had to use e-breach to open instead. So, so far, 5 POI missions and one legitimate bugged mission.
So been in a few hours, so far I'd say pretty mixed bag. I'll start with good:
1.) Planet texture LOD is better to my eyes. As well as liking the terrain I'm seeing now. Ice worlds seem improved a good bit.
2.) I like that the AI are not stupid about ships now. You can't land 50 yds away and they keep patroling.
3.) No invisible rocks (Thank you, that was making me weary) so far.
4.) No more jacked up UI when using quick refuel/repair/rearm.
5.) No more re-arm with SC, that was a gankers god-send I'm sure but at least the trade-off for high DPS is back.
Bad:
1.) Missions seem differently broken, still issues with recovery missions, just at a different spot now. More weeks of not using those missions.
2.) No flashlights by AI so they are effectively invisible to me now on the 80% of missions that send me to the dark side of a planet.
2a.) AI is completely oblivious to my flashlight. I've been crouched 15M away with the light on them as they patrol like nothing is happening. Could be related.
3.) Pretty bad 'noise' or 'pixelation' effect now when the terminator on the planet is just entering or leaving view.
4.) Low angle texture on planets seems much worse to me now. Looks grainy or noisy even with built-in upscale.
5.) Stations at downsampled resolution look pretty bad at a distance now. Very noticeable in the dark. The aliasing is terrible.
6.) Sudden introduction of notoriety for worker kills in settlements with almost no idea how it works. I would think it should build quite slowly given blowing up ships that contain dozens of tourists in ships provides exactly 1. I don't disagree that it should factor in though.
The Very Bad:
1.) AMD FSR - I hate this. Worse performance and worse appearance I would love to have an option for the version from update 6.
2.) The 1 second delay on interaction is maddening. I've read that's being walked back and I'm glad.
The visual hit I've taken this update hurts. All of the other stuff aside with the previous AMD upscaling I was at least getting something that looked really good despite 0.65X and 45 FPS on my system. But now I get that and a little less on top of shimmering, noisy, jagged, whirling, lines that I was not seeing much in update 5. I really wish this longer period between updates provided a more polished outcome but the forward/backwards dance seems to be slowly moving me in negative territory overall. Past update 3 i've been losing ground on GFX quality and performance.

some graphics improvement for sure, better planet, more stability.
i start an exploration trip so i can enjoy almost that little things, because the life in the bubble i think still have lot of majors bug in terms of gameplay.

I re-installed for this update. Graphics and lighting have improved a lot. The terrain looks great imo. However, the performance is not there for my poor 1060 6gb whenever I approach any planet surface. Forget about disembarking. I'm not willing to give up just yet but sad to say it won't be a return to the game in the near future for me.

I reset my Cmdr save as mentioned earlier today, and spent most of the day going through the early game experience.
It seems that FSR really is required for me (despite being well above recommended spec) in order to achieve smooth enough performance - which still tanks in some places, such as on foot CZs which were incredibly janky and as such quite tiresome to complete - but the cost being nasty aliasing, blurry text and general noise planet side is a pretty bitter pill to swallow.
Elite used to be a clean and smooth, good looking game (despite its age) but it keeps going backwards on almost all fronts.
The fact I'm not even that fussed about losing all my assets, mats, engineers, FC, ranks suggests my Elite mojo is fading and uninstall option is becoming more attractive each day.

Did another crash retrieval mission -- the POI showed up but couldn't retrieve the item since container was half buried in the ground. Did anyone at FD playtest this before it was released? My patience is starting to wear thin.
Now we have to wait another month for the next patch to fix these issues?

But not every black box from air crashes get recovered either.Did another crash retrieval mission -- the POI showed up but couldn't retrieve the item since container was half buried in the ground.

I'm fairly happy with it. A little worried about the new scavengers with x-ray vision and no flashlights, though. I'll test that tonight
My performance was fairly good yesterday. POI's spawned properly. Did get more Mauve Adders than I'm used. Guess I'll take another look at that port forwarding thing.

The game keeps freezing black on exit, from time to time.
The 1 second wait to grab things on foot was a mistake. I think they thought it better and now it's no longer in game.
Since Update 5 I lost irregular markers with threat level, except in 1 system.
Time to download data should be reconsider. I just had to wait 503 seconds to download data, then in the same CMD building, the 2nd data port gave me 170 seconds, so I were there for more than 10 minutes doing nothing except watching the countdown (max I've got till this Update was 300 second, still unacceptable).
FSR doesn't help with FPS.
Being in a wing/team on foot on a settlement I got continuous FPS drops, from 35 to 7 and 35 again, every 2 minutes or less. While playing along, FPS were same as Update 5.

Optimisation of the beta still ongoing (I want payed for this testing)
Notoriety, lame.
Detachment from Horizons is total.
Engineers and mat collection is even worse than previous.
Can't remove mods from weapons/suits, totally cretinous!
Planets look poor and nothing like the demo.
Generally being lied to since launch.

So far more bugs than fixes. AI scavengers know your coming before you can see them. still have but when leaving the plannet that show altitude as -1m when actually more than 50km and therefore can't super cruise because mass lock.
I knew this would happen. FDev needs to just fix the damn bugs before adding content. they add content and say bugs have been fixe when actually the bug morphs. for instance they said they fixed the larceny missions so the points of interest would show up. now you can't complete the mission because the item moves to a different system all together.
True that.
Of course, if the crew that the FAA sends out to recover said black box return empty-handed, they still get paid and they don't get fined and lose reputation with the FAA either.
Disable FSR to fix that
Being as this is one of the most repeated plea's since they were introduced I'm starting to think they simply can't.
From what I've heard FSR doesn't really work on 1080
I think Fdev should disable rep loss and notoriety in Odyssey until all the mission issues are fixed, just have a no-pain fail flag until at least stable beta.
Update 6 pro's: Some higher frame rates for me (5 absolutely tanked my performance where I had to stop playing), maybe back to patch 4 levels - tho' I don't go near settlements. No more invisible rocks (fingers crossed 'cause someone up thread said some were still out there) and the stars corona's have been fixed.
The bad: no real improvement in performance, lighting or planet gen, just sticking plasters on the most glaring problems. Some bugs fixed but many, many more newly or even re-broken bugs - check out the issue tracker, about 7 pages of not even confirmed issues...
