Curated videos do not show the ugly bits because those are boring and do not make views. Those videos are made for views, to make money. Trust them at your peril. Or just buy an Idris
Yup.

To be fair, it looks better than on his old rig... but for that price, it damn well should.
And at that point my suspension of disbelief fails hard.
Open mind and closed wallet... 2 watchwords for delving into SC
My mind is so open my brain fell out.
One of my close mates playing regularly alongside us runs SC on an i7 6700, gtx1070 and 16Gb of RAM @1440p....and from a SATA SSD, not an NVME. I've watched his videos of our gameplay...they don't seem any different quality or FPS wise at almost identical quality settings from mine or @Intrepid3D's
He runs everything at very high detail with volumetric clouds at medium, chromatic aberration, film grain and motion blur turned off...sharpening at max...same as I do although I run at 1080p not having 1440p monitors... I get a few more fps when the screen is busy, otherwise...he rarely complains of SC running like a slideshow unless it's also running like that for all of us.
Turning graphic quality down in SC makes it run worse...not better. Raising the detail level farms more work off to the GPU rather than clogging up the CPU with it which contrary to expectation, makes it run smoother.

Its the "no problems" bit that got me. We're talking about SC here. Orison? No problem? On a 1070?
I'd like to see a video of that.
Also, a 1070, not exactly a cheap card. I don't have a direct price for one in Russia, but if a 1660 will cost me at least 40k, then i guess a 1070 (which is better according to benchmarks) I can only imagine will cost over 50k.
Ouch...those prices certainly sting a bit. But as @Intrepid3D mentioned...Katie Byrne is running on a GTX1060 and 16Gb of RAM, her videos of Orison don't seem bad by any standard
Orison isn't great FPS wise for anyone...regardless of whatever you throw at it...but it's smooth enough. If I turn my fps monitor off, I'd hardly notice it was running at 25-40fps.

Who told you interiors were coming in Odyssey?

In the thread i made about upgrading, people were steering me away from upgrading to a 1060 or equivalent for Odyssey saying it wasn't worth it. I should wait.
I'm struggling to bring varying viewpoints together with regards to both SC and EDO, and the only conclusion i can come to is both are terrible messes and hardware performance is downright random.
I don't think he's saying he didn't buy Odyssey because he believed FD promised them. Just that he wants interiors and Odyssey didn't deliver that, so might as well give CIG money for their buggy alpha instead of FD for their buggy release.
That about right @Hullreaver ?
It may have been a Cease and Desist letter and stopped short of an actual suit, but Oldman was reportedly POed that they kept using his likeness in promotional stuff.
The simple answer? These guys certainly hinted at it

Still not finding one single hard reference or trace of any such action...his image is still being used by Ci¬G to promote Sqn 42... Urban myth

I was able to find this, but I can't trace it to any source or supporting documentation. Well, this gives me something to research while I wait for the hurricane to hit.
Nah, all issues are exaggerated.
I'd personally still like to see a source. I mean, i know we get accused of being FUDsters a lot, but that's why its best to have sources for these sorts of things.
Sure, not all we talk about is verified, and sometimes exaggerated, but usually there is some sort of basis for it.
There's a few of us in game at the moment...seems OK from our end barring the usual bugs
There's 6 of us doing the 890J fps mission waiting for Xeno-fart to reinitialise, a couple mining....servers are stable-ish, no dramas....

Can i shoot you just because i want to?
Yeah, Braben said he wanted interiors all those years ago, and if they don't come eventually, i'll be kind of miffed.
What I dislike most about it all is the CMs trying to wave it away. Like Arthur saying its no good without gameplay loops. SC doesn't have interior gameplay loops, but people love it regardless.
Why not just say "Its still something we'd like to do, but we don't have the time and resources at this point to dedicate to it."? That would go down a lot better (i think) than the stuff they come out with. We know FD can't throw hundreds of devs at it. We know stuff takes time. We saw how Odyssey took them years to do, and even if we can point to Helo Games/NMS doing stuff quicker, we know FD can't match that sort of output for whatever reason. But don't try and horse manure (apparently you can't even say Bee Ess on this forum) your way out of it. Just say, not on the cards at the moment and be done with it.
Kiwifarms? Dear gods... we've reached the bottom of the barrel.
