So there's absolutely 0 reasons for Odyssey to run poorly anymore.

I play other games too, and in the same broader context still find horizons amazing. It does enough to convince of being in space, the technical implementation isn't perfect, put is clear, doesn't remind you of the problems every second of play, and the procedural planet tech is high art. All the old praise is still there.
Lately i've started to be able to write off game purchases. eg, streetfighter 5. That game is online pvp centric, and even after all these years the arcade mode is an frontier level placeholder. 0% of the presentation of sf4, long loading screens (technical issues), underdeveloped ai. As much as i bought champion edition and love the graphics, i only play arcade, and sf4 is just better. I've accepted that purchase was a waste and written off. Same with the first everspace. I followed the community on that one and hated it, rouge games make you loose faith in gaming as a past time, just time wasters. Anyway, its a handy trick to have, and we're living in the strong comfort of a readily available alternative (horizons)
I guess.. for my elite time, there's no rationale to spend that same space game time in odd than in horizons. I would be robbing myself and eroding the quality of my life.

"The truth in 4 words". That's the gist of this whole situation.
Ok, first, what I meant about power gamer was a mistake, I should say I'm not as into ED as I used to be, and what I meant to convey was that there are probably some situations that make computers lag that II have not experienced yet. I do know the 3080 is good, that's why I bought it, although I only play leauge of legends (runs on toasters), chivalry 2, and ED.
Secondly, I was not trying to tell people with lower end computers the game should be running fine on their system, because it runs good on my system. Probably I didn't make this clear, weak communication skills are one of my strongest assets. I was referring to people who have strong PC's who complain, like OA. So if you have a 3090 and the game didn't run good during alpha, well, stop with the illicit video sites or whatever. That card isn't even ffor gaming, it's for rendering, and my PC ran the alpha fine, and I'm not some guy who fine tunes his PC to run super fast. I'll even admit to the sin of running norton anti virus, and never powering my PC off more than 2x a year
We know Unreal is great at small map RPGs/shooters. Where are the space sims with real scale galaxies and astronomical distances?

someone needs to tell Nvidia then as it seems they made a mistake when they unveiled it.
I agree it is not a great choice when it comes to gaming when you are looking at bang for your buck...,.. but it does not mean it isn't an insanely fast gaming GPU.
Performance of ED:O at launch (I didn't play alpha so can't comment) was simply not acceptable on my rig. I have high end requirements as I play in VR on a reverb G2 but even so my rig should be more than capable at that and indeed now after multiple game fixes it is now capable. I have no idea what settings or what display you play on so I am not going to say you are making it up that it played ok on your rig..... but please don't tell me I am making stuff up on my rig either. Even Frontier admit their game was a mess at launch so why can't you - at least for some people even if not yourself.
as for your comments on communication. that is fine, no judgements on my part but everything else aside regardless of the finer points...... you ARE spouting nonsense accusing people with high end rigs of either being inept or making stuff up and that is not acceptable. and a 3090 IS a perfectly capable gaming GPU (fastest one on the market until the 3090ti drops)

1. EDO was and still ist CPU limited in some areas, the fastest GPUs in the world will not help in such cases. 2. Check out Nvidias product page, the 3090 is literally marketed at gamers (also) and it is the only GPU that allows DLSS at 8K. The 3090 does not have support for productive driver and hardware features as Quadro and Titan cards have.
We are hearing nothing from Fdev about future updates, I believe that Odyssey is as good as it will get with small performance and bug fixes.
Fdev really needs to come forward and let us know if the plan to work more on optimization, I am not asking for a roadmap just is Fdev going to improve the playability of Odyssey.
Is it possible for any meaningful improvements ?

My RTX-2080ti runs Horizons perfectly.But i want to run Odyssey on my 386 sx 33 can it be optimised for that as i get 1fpy (frame per year)
I just don’t want to spend thousands more to upgrade my system to run Odyssey with equal results as I get on Horizons now.
Fdev is putting the burden on commanders to spend thousands in computer upgrades to run thier version of Odyssey.
To be honest i have a ryzen 7 laptop which runs Horizons like silk and Odyssey just about playable, im playing till it gets to the point when requirements require ludicrous expenditure just to play and then go to either NMS which also runs like silk or Eve all of these games arent a perfect replacement for ED but if ya cant run one there is always another to scratch that itch.
I'm curious if the next major update (if there is one) will be for Horizons, and Odyssey left as a legacy "mode" for those who want it but left to rot while other development are focused elsewhere.
1586
the if there is one is the question for me. if there is I am quite certain it will be built on ED:O or some version of. .... but if I was forced to gamble.my own money about if there will be another paid update for elite dangerous or not... I am not sure which way I would puty money to be honest.
Yep very true, the new player base is massive, compared to a few 1000 ED players. Why spend money on a few 1000 ED players when there are probs millions F1 and WH sales to be made and a huge support and dev team required.
Tch, Tch, Tch SUCKERS, it is JUST an extra money making DLC of ED.
"They are not supporting it any longer"
Which of these 7 words do you not understand?
It is DEAD, so do the stuff you want to do NOW in ED (there is still plenty of stuff I want to see/do) - it will all end in 2 years.
I ad a 386But i want to run Odyssey on my 386 sx 33 can it be optimised for that as i get 1fpy (frame per year)
it was a peach.Those were the days when coding meant getting every last millisecond out of the machine none of the release now patch later rubbishI ad a 386
I have ben waiting to see if any announcement's about the next update were coming but I think that that the last one is the last one.
Nothing in the last live stream, can you say "maintenance mode" .
So Odyssey is as good as it gets, Sadly
