Heya. I took a bunch of reports on these yesterday to follow up on, so this will definitely add to those. No worries, will look into it and update as soon as poss.
Because, like Factabulous was so kind to point out to you, Kapteyn Mines is definitely controlled by an anarchy faction. Whereas LHS 1541 and Mikinii have stations which are not. And Smear Campaign Plans are prohibited items which can only be sold at anarchy controlled stations.Please disregard my previous statement as I've just sold them at kapteyn mines @ MACHAQUIABA. I was unable to do so in previous locations where I've been farming them: LHS 1541 and MIKINII. I suppose this was just ninja-fixed
Remember though - your experience isn't he same as others - sorry to say this, but for many it was unplayable only for the first few day after launch, and although it is frustrating to get the occassional fps drop, for me and many other it isn't unplayable or broken. The challenge with optimisation for example is that it is massively impacted by things that FDEV (or any developer) would strugle to emulate during test - the number of different hardware/driver/motherboard/chip-set combinations out there must be well into the billions, and anyone of them could be the difference in imperformance on a game like ED. You and I could in theory have the same CPU and GPU, and the same amount of RAM and still get difference in performance due to a lot of other factors.

Heyyy, can I be a massive pain and ask for your system spec/dxdiag in a DM please ? It's a decent start for me....mind you, were you having it this bad before? Has it suddenly happened? This makes me think theres something funny going on after @Corso 's comment too : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threa...types-failing-to-progress.592621/post-9585421
I found once I started shooting, the opposition joined in. This was mostly from remaining at the CZ and relogging to initiate new combat. The downside being that around 20% of the time I have been getting a couple of stutters and then it crashes to desktop.

Even better. Ok ta.
I confirm this as well. BASTIEN HYDROPONICS HOLDING @ MACHAQUIABA. I'm looking at them rooted to the ground right now. They just stand there and won't move.

Not got the dxdiag spare yet, as im busy til much later but specs are:
I7 8700
Gtx 1070 8gb vram

Only seems to have been severe since update 8 but was still present to a degree post update 5

Same here. Extraction sites have been really odd. Over the weekend I had several minute stretches below 10 followed by a few minutes at 60 -70. The settlement was abandoned - not even any scavengers.
The worst I had though was at an agricultural settlement. I had an assassination mission. Everything was good, until I shot the guy. I got in my SRV to make my getaway and then the FPS dropped to 6-10 until I was about 3 km out.
Hi Sally,
Just to chime in on the increased number of crash-to-desktops around Odyssey settlements since Update 8 - been getting a lot of those myself. Crash reports submitted as-and-when, will be under CMDR Voetsak.
Hey Sally,
Just for a bit more info, the NPC's refuse to go capture some points, like they can't even see them. Sometimes I will be sitting there alone without an enemy shooting at me or an ally coming to help me capture the points.
That's just because the current AI seems to have some problems prioritising objectives. Especially since they added the beefy Enforcers, NPCs can be stuck for quite a while shooting at each other (nothing more awkward then a bunch of soldiers with kinetic sidearms trying to get the shields down on an Enforcer).
They also seem to have absolutely no inclination to flock towards the player's position, so there's that too. They're probably busy capturing other points.
Minor issue, but holding the Arc Cutter causes your screen to jump up when starting/stopping sprinting. Should be the easiest thing in the world to confirm but considering the issue has expired 3 times (and the problem has been present from alpha to present) I'm posting here for more visibility.
@sallymorganmoore regarding dxdiag; i have now attached the file here. feel free to ask for more info.
Seeing a ton of crash-to-desktop moments in ground CZs. Had 3 over lunch just now in an extraction settlement combat zone.
