I look forward to seeing this update and Sally's comments in the patch notes.

It's getting so Sally's comments are the high point.

The longer it takes Frontier to sort Odyssey out, the more you realise how much they messed up in the first place. I don't doubt Frontier are trying to make amends, it's in their interest, but as a leper equivalent, my only form of direct protest is not to download like a loon immediately something becomes available and see what the overall reaction is to the new material.

Still, no doubt all the work on the Windows version is edging the return of the macOS client ever closer ;)

PowerPlay never left, you can find it on Raxxla in it's coffin as Frontier didn't take it for a stake dinner yet.

Obviously due to ignorance of the code base, they mistook the macOS client for PowerPlay, resulting in the horrible accident back in 2018 ;)

PS also obviously I can't like a post that misrepresents my views in such a blatant fashion :)

Well to be honest, don't other FD games work on Macs now natively (at least Intel based ones)?

If / when FD sort out this engine for ED you might get your wish.

Well bless you :)

While it may be technically possible (who knows, Frontier can't get Odyssey to work on Windows properly yet), I fear the remaining playerbase (me) may be viewed as insufficient.

PS Planet Coaster runs on macOS because Frontier admitted defeat and gave it to a company that specialises in ports to macOS, Aspyr.

They could always sell pictures of ships to rich macOS users while they wait I suppose ;)

Historically Mac users have always been ripped off, ignoring the hardware - of course - one of the companies I did some work for had a nice little earner adding 2 links to PC (0 ohm resistor) memory and selling it at twice the price to mac owners... It was still cheaper than Apple's own 🤷‍♂️

These days Apple continue the ripping off without any qualms.

However it doesn't matter, regardless what's been said, patch 8 MUST make noticeable performance improvements, for other reasons, it not about what they said anymore.
In addition, considering recent patches bugfests, it also have to be reliable.

Or what? Like you said, it really doesn't matter what is said, including by you. Update 8 will be what it will be.
Insisting that Update 8 must do anything isn't going to get anyone far. However, I have noticed that while each update had its setbacks, there were significant improvements elsewhere, in every single update. And despite those setbacks and as yet unresolved issues, I've been enjoying Odyssey very much, right from release.

That said, yes, we all want Update 8 to do wonderful things for the game (especially smoother frame rates). But us making demands won't change a thing.
