Horizons confirmed?

🤷‍♂️ just responding to @Rat Catcher

I do however think that a lot of the criticism is outdated (it runs too slow, too unstable) and it is just intransigence that is keeping people (especially LEPers) from installing it*. Whether that is hatred or pig-headedness is whatever you prefer.

* assuming they have no PC issues but as mentioned I have a potato and it is perfectly playable for me
Why do you feel the need to label folk that, rather nasty, way?
Creates unnecessary tribalism and friction.
 
Hi All :)

(Abbreviated)

Apologies in advance for being happy. I know quite a few people here hate horizons with extreme passion and don't want anyone else to play it either, even if they can't run odd. Sadly the goodbye posts you were regretfully anticipating may not be coming.

Also.. NICE!!! :) That's good.
I'm actually playing Horizons at this very moment!....I like both versions, Why?....the Horizons user interface is just so much quicker (and mainly a simpler format) for me to operate personally.
I like Odyssey for the (some) planet terrain and the occasional foray on foot, though I've not much interest with the on foot FPS stuff.
The refresh between menu pages, galaxy map etc is very slow on my computer in Odyssey. Plus I still find the controls for on foot combat and discovery stuff confusing.
I just have one question: When the galaxy closes, where can I park my FC and all my ships?

Ask @Bottomhat! :giggle: he might find you some space to park in his 'stuffs' warehouse. ;)

Jack :)

Please, I've had Rat Catcher on ignore for years.
You and a duck... Plus a few others, no doubt. It is fun as I can say anything I wish in response to your own comments, and the best you get is a 2nd hand quote! :ROFLMAO:

Even funnier as the post immediately above mine is probably making an assumption of comments, due to having so many on ignore, allegedly!

Same here. My new computer is now running on VR ultra, and while it's not the best of the best, it is a pretty beefy machine.

My old computer from 2013 can now run at VR medium in settlements. Though I suspect that since David Braben's home PC has nearly identical stats as mine, I'm benefiting from Frontier's testing department no doubt having a copy of his computer to test their games on. ;)
 
Funny how the many posts "refuting" this one point (which I suspect was exaggerated on purpose for dramatic effect) have done more to prove the OP right rather than wrong ;)

Absolutely dramatic effect.

Factually its split between: people who can run it well + are not bothered by (and always fail to mention said) problems, and people who need to be frontier positive otherwise their space kickstarter dream or corporate romance is over.

Wait is that more drama? Well its true i think :)

Look horizons is a great game. Its unlikely, but if they fix the skybox in odd ill warm up to it. All the people who don't have a problem with this are in colonia / galactic core.. sure its great there its barely a space game in the bubble.

Hmm...
The performance fixes have continued to improve to the extent that even my potato plays VR fine.

It appears that it isn't just folk with similar high-end PCs to myself (R9 5900X / Radeon 6900XT / etc.) who are able to play EDO on their less than optimal (allegedly) PCs.

It is strange that the performance of EDO varies quite so much on PC hardware, old & new. Perhaps, one day, Fronteir devs will be able to bring the expansion's optimisation to run acceptably on the published specs, until then it seems to be a bit of a lottery! Made even odder by some players with top-end hardware still claiming very low frame rates in EDO and others with the same specs claiming otherwise. 🤷‍♂️

Poor RC. You're the only one out of your gang of friends i don't have on ignore, so does that count for something? :p I still owe you for that thing that time so always welcome your input on threads about elite dangerous.

We bounce off eachother well, that works for me! That, and holding different views on some points, does make for fun, without malice!

I'm certain there are plenty of members here who elect to not read my comments, which suits me well enough, I'm not losing sleep over it.

ETA: The 'gang of friends' hang out on the SOTG discord most of the time, rather than the forum , which is fun, I'm not as active as I used to be here, but, in general, enjoy the interaction with others, like yourself, who are able to respond in kind to my comments, that is good community.

Comparisons of frame rates should always be made with identical game and display driver settings with same screen resolution.
OR at least all that should be listed, so there would be a chance to spot the difference that matters, were it hardware or software.

Oh yeah its playable if you don't touch any odd content. Planet tech on high even. Actually just for science might try that again. I still think there's one scenario that's going to get me though, docking in coriolis stations will still kill the fps on the second repeat. Well, yeah why not waste an hour.

It doesn't work.. and you can't even pick up ship missions while on foot.. and the whole point of the content is for suit upgrades? What do you do in odd?
 
Well, on the hater part, you've got a point. :)
The comment was only because I apparently read the same post and arrived at a different interpretation - the :
Whether that is hatred or pig-headedness is whatever you prefer.
Didn't come across, to me, as calling out such, just interpretation.

Naturally, I do admit to being somewhat less bothered than others when labels are offered, they are so common here, with divergent opinions, that they are inevitably discarded as waste material ( :poop:) during reading.
 
Odyssey runs great on my PC at Ultra everything. I still despise it though and play Horizons exclusively.
I hope EDH stays around in its present form for years to come and secretly wish that Odyssey just dies.
My sarcasm detector is beeping.. False alarm?
