Update 10 - Odyssey and Horizons

I guess it is a joke that scooping with an SRV is no longer working. I can collect one let me repeat ONE item. Than I have to board my ship in order to unload. Transfer while under the ship is not possible.
Have you guys considered doing some quality checks before releasing a patch?

Agree, may be FDevs should create PTS for testing patches?

@Bruce G , sorry to be a pain... but (there is always a but..)

An interesting question was asked earlier, which I'd rephrase slightly:

How close might we be to the merging of clients, so that we can play along with our friends who may not have, or currently be able to run, EDO expansion? It would be fantastic to play with the 25% of our group who only play Horizons.

You know that I'm always optimistic about the game, but still, I think this is infeasible, and won't happen...

I have no idea what this is doing here at a settlement that's not at war but I'm pretty sure it... shouldn't.

You can always scoop with the ship :LOL: (unless they changed that)

It is my natural curiosity driving me to ask. Some of our group just don't have the grunt with their PCs to play EDO, and, oddly, the ones who do (me included, sadly) have no wish to return to Horizons. (We're an odd bunch!)

Totally agree. Horizon now seems out-of-date, HUD, design... And all the content that you have to forgo, notably not having the ability to casually get out of the ship, is too much of a price to pay.

Isn't it feasible to eventually merge everything under one thing only?

Why keep 3 versions of the game running at all?

This is exactly why I didn't officially release a mod to fix these - most likely the shader hash has changed and locating the new hash via hunting will restore the fix to working order. It's past 1am here, so I'm not about to fire up the game to find it, but brief instructions:

1. Locate and set options in d3dx.ini:
hunting = 2
verbose_overlay =1
marking_actions = clipboard
(i.e. remove hlsl, asm, etc. from marking_actions, leaving only clipboard)
2. [Re]start the game*
3. Locate the problematic smoke effect
4. Press numpad 0 to toggle hunting mode on (green overlay will display)
5. Press numpad 1/2 to cycle pixel shaders until the smoke disappears
6. Press numpad 3 to copy the pixel shader hash to clipboard
7. (Optional) Press numpad + to clear the marked shaders (smoke will become visible again)
8. (Optional) Press numpad 0 to disable hunting mode (green overlay will disappear)
9. Edit the hash in the d3dx.ini, pasting the new one from the clipboard
10. Press F10 in game to reload 3DMigoto config. If done correctly the smoke should disappear at this point.

* 3DMigoto is designed to minimise the need to restart the game while working on a mod, as most settings and shaders can be reloaded live with the reload_config / reload_fixes keys (both of which default to F10). Hunting = zero vs non-zero is the main exception as this is the main flag that tells 3DMigoto that you are a modder or end user - if you intend to do further modding and don't want to have to restart the game you can safely leave hunting set to 2 and still have good performance.

Thanks for the expansive advice, I always enjoy helping myself. Sadly I stopped using 3Dmigoto and was using the configuration override fix. Given that doesn’t work, if I look at it again, hunting mode will be my first stop.

Please note that I'm no dev nor IT person, so my opinion is just what seems logical to me, but try to imagine how this would work? Roughly 30% of Odyssey content dosen't even exist in Horizons!! Many new mecanics don't exist. Even new ranks don't exist. How woold you reconcile all this? The missions? The settlements? The POI? The CODEX? The wings or squadrons xp? In my mind, you just can't. I just hope they can port Odyssey on consoles, because it would be unfair otherwise. But it will be tricky too...
