Odyssey rehab 1.0

[myothershipisacobraiv]

I wish Frontier would give Odyssey a free fly week like Star Citizen has. Performance in Odyssey is a game of Russian roulette. Some people have no problems with performance on older hardware, while others suffer terrible framerates and graphical downgrades on much newer hardware. I've seen folks in this forum with identical hardware to my own say they get bad performance, so I'm not ready to roll the dice with actual cash just yet.

Disclaimer - anything less than a locked 60 fps (vsynced to my 2D display) is "bad performance" on my PC. I don't need or even want higher (except in VR), but I'm quite bothered by anything lower, especially if it's jittery, stuttering, or lagging.

Oof, I feel I must clarify my statement. I had an older GPU then than I do now and forgot this. I didn't think of it when I noticed that the rings ran better because it wasn't a planned upgrade. My previous GPU cooked itself because of a bug in the driver. Still, the asteroids look different, and there isn't even a hint of any stutter now so it really seemed like they'd done something.

But yeah, GPU change.

And how will you be able to 'climb into a crashed ship' without ship interiors?

1. There are mega spikes
2. The station is large but we have a small hall to walk in.
All ships already have cabins, break the glass and get in.
3. Some of the broken ships on the planet are cut from the outside without getting in.

 

[RooksBailey]

That's not even the point. I always regret it. If it were possible not to return, we could fly on and on. Complete the mission, take the next one and fly on...
But with the return, I'm tied to one station, and to fly on, I have to fly somewhere for nothing

I am glad to see you write that because that is my rationale, too! I like the one-way missions because they get me to move on to new systems.

Not sure about that. A bad implementation that will trigger nausea and/or vomit would attract a lot of flak and a lot of demands for VR to be improved.
This one seems to be all or nothing to me.

I hope you don't mind but I don't agree here.

Most vr players enjoy vr for the sake of it and look past vomit etc.

Pretty much all first person games can be difficult for some vr users. Even HL:Alyx has caused nausea (watch Angry Joe's review if it if you don't believe me) and that is considered by many to be a top draw VR experience

Also many struggle with SRV but no one says it's not good enough because it's the nature of the vehicle more than anything else.

That's my thoughts anyway

Also many struggle with SRV

The SRV is way worse for me than running around Skyrim, despite the latter being a "bolted on" version of VR.

The list is good. But Frontier are wondering where best to spend their £150 of development money since the share drop price odyssey caused.

pfft. get gud. VR motion sickness is for the weak.

Seriously though, VR in elite is held back by the need for external third party resources to play the game seriously. Nobody wants to keep taking goggles off or looking thru a nose hole to read a website and figure out what's worth the time to do or where something is so you're not blindly searching for your game session and getting nothing accomplished.

so you have to choose, do you want a taste of that immersion or do you want a productive game session? and most of the time those two aren't compatible in VR in elite.

Would be great if it actually works, it's 2022.

Thank you! I just got Odyssey this week and wondered why orbit lines were so jagged and my transactions panel almost illegible. I turned off AA completely and it looks great. what Frontier?

But first we need ED Odyssey on Xbox Series & PS5.

Fix FC lag, fix wing instances.

That's right. Usually users can't correctly determine the performance of their computer and their ISP and get into the wings. We need to measure both of these parameters in users and in case of their poor performance to kick them out of the insta with the word FDS failure and all that.
Then they will not interfere with others.

Probably invested in Star Citizen.

By the way, who knows the Citizen? Is it possible to get out of the ship in a spacesuit in flight?

 

[Peter Mannion]

Anti Aliasing - i would expect a similar response as we got for planetary tilling

I'll bet my fleet carrier that the whiteknight army will try and claim that anti-aliasing "isnt a big deal" and "nobody wants it fixed" in the replies of that inevitable announcement.

I don't know about SC but you can in X4, even explore space wrecks (kind'a limited) and repair your ship (if you're patient). Also, EVA is Newtonion rather than ship thrusters (but with a stop movement button if you wanna cheat).

They also fixed running across empty concourse back to your ship - ALT D transports you directly to your ship (not directed at you).

 

[Gleitfrosch]

If they make the insides of the ships will have to run twice as much.
1 - run from the chair to the hatch.
1a - (climbing stairs)
2 - run from the hatch to the elevator.

Or they can place the hatch close to the cockpit. It would even make more sense than placing it on the opposite side of the ship.
I know some ships have a hatch on the backside but it does not mean it's the only one.

Ship interiors could be used different
1. For SRV repairs in the hangar, an opportunity for a minigame to reduce the material usage compared to repairing it via console
2. Same for all synthesis activities
3. A lab (module?) to analyze plants and bacteria, would give you a higher payment compared to just scanning them on the planet
4. And many other ideas for ship interiors

Yes, I remember the Millennium Falcon where you have to run for a long time from the hatch to the pilot's seat. But I also remember the X-Wing where you had to climb into the cockpit through the glass like in a plane of World War 2...

I wonder why there's so many folks asking for -interiors everything... when the gameplay issues are 99% -exteriors.

That's a total waste of resources, the game needs a ton of fixes. Adding things on top of a broken thing just put more weight on its fragile foundations.
