What's wrong with you people? I can understand the want for better VR, and I even share that hope. Still necroing thread after thread is annoying.. Please start a new thread instead!
VR support 'not at launch' for Odyssey
- Thread starter Lordxenu
- Start date

yeah but that's a problem though, Cobra engine cant handle it on-foot performance tanks harder then a south african mine deposit atm... Frontier has to address that first before VR stands any cahnce
I've not seen any improvement in VR in any of the updates in EDO. Same poor framerate, same stuttering and hiccups. and moon/planetary visuals are just horrible. You simply can't gloss over how absolutely bad the visuals are. They looked much better in Horizons. There's no comparison.
It's starting to get silly.
Perhaps it's your equipment i am smooth as glass and great visuals.
I was going to start a new thread but was afraid it would get closed.
I do feel it’s important to keep the discussion alive.
As the discussion is just between a few names, and will be ignored by Fdev, as suggested, it might be sensible to start your own 'chat channel' in off-topic or somewhere.
Makes more sense than just necro'ing old threads.
You saw what happened to the last one didn't you?
Yep. And why it was closed. And you can't blame me for that!
Nope didn't try to.

it depends on the forum rules... i know a lot of places give posters grief if they do NOT search for old threads on a topic and add to those thus keeping in 1 place.
it is a balancing act no doubt, and i doubt i get it right all the time, but generally i think it is better to ressurect an existing thread even if it is a little old, if it is exactly the topic you plan to discuss, rather than starting new.
kind of damned if you do, damned if you dont imo.
for the record, with my pretty high end rig (5800x RTX 3090FE) at launch ED:O in vr was a nausea fest for me. Now it is completely playable everywhere (that is not to say it runs well given i am kind of using a sledge hammer)..
but i have definitely seen an improvement on my machine.
it is saddening that at launch however it was possible to play the on foot stuff in VR in a round about sort of way*** and rather than improve it, or do nothing even and leave it alone, FD instead chose to block it. That makes no sense to me at all
*** I never tried it myself, i wish i had TBH.
visuals wise its subjective of course, there are wins and losses in both versions (which there shouldnt be.... ED:O at its worse should be on a par with ED:H and for the most part better given how much newer it is and how much increased the demands of it are......................
but for me, put it this way, i dont plan on going back to ED:H unless i have to..... and that is even if i am not doing on foot stuff (which i dont do very often)

Yes someone started wailing about white knights and got the thread closed..
Still this is the second necro in a short period of time, wouldn't it be better to start a new thread instead of necroing large threads?
And much as I would like to see the issue attended to, I don't think whining about it is going to help much. As far as I know this is the last communication from FDev on the subject: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/odyssey-update-on-vr-and-ship-interiors.554223/
Note that it doesn't say that VR is canceled, it rather holds out some hope that it will be attended to when they have a good solution for on foot VR. Though considering present performance issues, it seems unlikely that they are putting any priority on VR at the moment..
Note that I didn't complain about necros until someone felt a need to necro a second thread..
indeed. i wasnt having a pop, i dont mind either way whether people post new or necro (i suppose i would lean to necros IF the subject is the same but i realise it isnt ideal either.
my point is tho, sometimes it is hard to know which is the expected etiquette depending on the board you are on.
truth is i have not looked at the forum rules for years, perhaps it is covered on there but i dont have time to look now as am meant to be working
reopening old threads is one of those situational things that there is no blanket rule over what the right decision is. In some cases, it's going to make sense to create a new thread because the underpinnings of the topic have changed over time even if the topic is the same - so the thread would be confusing if continued. Other cases, there is no change so continuing it would make the most sense. And often this confusion on what to do is reinforced by the demand that players and mods make on users to "use the search button" and not create duplicate threads.
If there was a rule against necro threads, the devs would have set the forum to auto-close threads where no comments have been made in X number of days ...like reddit and such do.

Still personally I feel that multiple necros on the same topic is slightly overdoing it..
Slightly???Still personally I feel that multiple necros on the same topic is slightly overdoing it..
Actually I'm out of this necro discussion now, I've said what I thought and there is no good reason to be off topic too!
It's more than two. The necromongers have been increasingly active lately.
