Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 7 Notes

1. The conversation moved over here following the new patch.
Elite Dangerous: Update 7.01 and Horizons Update (PC Only)
Greetings Commanders. Thanks so much for the continued responses from so very many of you, following this week's deployment of Update 7 for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey, along with the 'Quality of Life' update for Horizons. We have a couple of issues we'd like to tackle sooner than later, so these...
2. Dude! It's Saturday!
Of course you do. Optimization was not slated for any of those 7 updates. Optimization is very difficult, and thus takes a lot of time.
Performance optimisations are slated for update 8. I'm hoping for a considerable improvement, much more than a few tweaks.
Right now Odd performance is poor, and lod pop in is way too close for the intended gameplay (I'm thinking of salad hunting here, searching by eye from the ship), and the visual changes planet-side don't provide enough of a benefit over Horizons terrain & lighting to justify the performance (compared to Horizons).
I really hope something is currently broken and everything can get a lot better once fixed, rather than the Cobra Engine just being pushed as far as it can go with only minor optimisations & different draw distance/image quality refinements and tweaks to come.
@sallymorganmoore or @Zac Cocken or..someone?
Started seeing this one yesterday and given just how often i get interdicted its kinda a biggy for me, so giving it a bump here.
The odd looking planet melty duplication is an artifact caused by taking the screener during the submission drop (was throttled down DSS'ing the planet), i dont think it was actually that bad during the interdiction itself

known issue, even the cause is known (but WMD fix was higher priority)
Me also - I’ve had to move from High to Med to get frame rates. I think 7 was a beta test like the others. Fingers crossed for U7 fixes in U8
It's weird because before Update 5 there wasn't those hardcore drops and it seems that they still don't know what they are doing... it's sad just sad...
Not a rock
Exactly. Another, completely different and totally unrelated algorithm that needs attention.Not a rock
Ive just bought a T-10 (haven't tried it in VR yet, will do after work).
I can confirm that the COVAS sounds even more 'echoey' in it. Also if you switch to the vanity camera - the COVAS sounds as though it is coming from inside the ship / miles away (it's quiet, seems to be left biased, and echos a great deal)

Heyyyy my hot minutes aren't purely spent in the forums you know!
I have about 350 issues and 18 DMs to get through before meetings. I'll be with you as soon as possible with these kinds of responses

WOAH, that melty planet!!!
So the interdiction bars missing (theyre actually offset) is a known issue and I already popped that in the 'known issues' list for you in the 7.01 update notes for you when I set them live
Always check those so you're not feeling the need to report them here if you see them BUT
The melty planet certainly wasn't in my known issues!!! Grabbing that screenie. Thank you!
That melty planet artefact isn't an issue as stated by RabbitWOAH, that melty planet!!!

Aye...eeghhh...
This is the "invisible rock" hunt all over again, isn't it? Except now it's...visible but...floaty.
Someone must have thought I enjoyed chasing rocks around the galaxy too much...
(Thanks for the screenie!).
I think it'd be cool to have it on purpose!
