Development Update 4 - September
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
It doesn't always have to be a grey day. My guess is that most of the 'new' stuff was already planned to go into Odyssey pre-covid. Now, while the game is in bug fix and repair it makes sense to release these now and hammer bugs out in one go before the console launch.So the new stuff is optimising ? Ahhh all becomes clear .
i know give them something "they want" so we don't have to fix the proper stuff . And the PC Gamers go wild
Ok, 6 is better than 2.I would take 6
As current does 2 only.
Any indication when Update 8 will be released?
I have ED on PS4, and PC, and there's no way I'd expect EDO on a console until it's able to run as good as Horizons on PC. Even then, it must be a lot of optimizing to get it to console.
To be Faiiirrrr.

To be Faiiirrrr.The important player base ducks
The important segment goes prone
I have this weird idea, seeing they've pretty much taken the engine to it's limits, with Odyssey, that in the background, they're also making a new engine and that ED, when final, will be all-in and on the new engine. All this stuff builds towards it...but thats a hope and a hunch, nothing concrete.
How about semi-combat? I was watching the ships battle, while in a ground conflict, then was being redeployed after getting shot...and thought how fun it'd be to pilot the drop ships. Now that, I'd sign up for.
I get the feeling that some are.
Looks good! Though you should definitely consider more seats for the Dropship, considering its stated role.
...Or even a new concourse vendor option, an "escrow service" for fair player-to-player trading. Each player gives the agreed stuff to the NPC broker, who then hands it over when both have met each other's requirements.

you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.
This is all very confusing as Im pretty sure many posters on here have stated there's nobody working on the game?
Or maybe with Kay Ross leaving it coincides with her releasing a swarm of programming AI to do all the work......

I wouldn't expect any progress on VR until console versions are released. Any thought on it being anytime sooner, I think would be just farting in the wind.
I would think the FC interiors are likely to be a cut and paste job as well. Still worth having though.
Stop being logical...

In the case of the console version of EDO this is an accurate statement, it's not been worked on as far as we know.
Take about 10% off there, Squirrelly Ronzer.
Agreed. The navmesh optimisations in Update 7 didn't bring any measurable performance improvements, and if lighting optimisation bring similar performance improvements in Update 8 then we probably just have to accept that this is as good as it gets.
If FDev tells us that these lighting optimisation should translate to a 50%-100% performance improvement, then that would be great news, and something to look forward to. But they haven't, so I can only assume we will get a similar performance boost in Update 8 to what we had in Update 7 (i.e. none).
As you say - all the new features sound great, but it's all pointless if people aren't able to enjoy them.
Nice development update, my personal favourite are announced updates to missions .. looking forward to it. I think it is the best Development update which was given to us so far.
I however also hope there will come further performance improvements including fix to cockpit effects. FPS drops still are really bad in some of settlements (places) and without visible improvement of performance have all those interesting news about new things highly reduced positive impact on overal perception of Odyssey DLC.

How can you say that?
U7 managed to break a lot of things on consoles too... you cannot break stuff if you dont work stuff...
