Can't land on Odyssey planet

Hello Cmdrs,

[Fixs]

I took a break from Elite to play other games and was on an Odyssey planet. When I tried to lunch the game I crash or well was getting the orange sidewinder error, so I tried launching Horizons and it put me in space just like I hope it would so I closed the game and relaunch Odyssey only to see this.

When I enter the atmosphere I get the orange sidewinder error again, all my drivers are up to date and I use no mods for this game. I reinstalled Elite to see if that would fix it, but it did not. Now I tried looking it up and found nothing so trying this post and hope to see if anyone can help me. All Odyssey atmosphere planets are like this, I can't land on any of them, the Odyssey on foot tutorial doesn't work either.

Any ways to fix this?

Update: I did what Morbad suggested and it works now! Thank you for all the help.

Maybe try validate game files in the launcher options menu to update current files.
I've seen that fix a few issues. Meanwhile my Nvidia 465.89 drivers work OK.

This issue is still occuring with Drivers versions 22.7.1, has been occuring for about 2 months with no response. There are dozens of reports of this on the issue tracker and hundreds of confirmations but they all expire or get spread out. If anyone can bring this to the attention of FDev please do so.
 
Its now October 12 2022, and even with the new 22.10.1 driver release for AMD cards the game still has issues. Also I am just going to take a break from the game at this time until the issue is resolved since all of the other games I am playing at the moment even old ones work fine with the 22.10.1 driver. So honestly my advice would be to just set the game aside until the issue is resolved, or jump through a significant amount of hoops that make the game playable on the latest AMD patch.

This issue started in June so its been about 5 months and still the game is broken, and unplayable on the latest drivers.

The game isn't broke, the drivers are broken, there's plenty of info about this around the place, certain shaders that are required for atmospheric planets are bugged in the drivers, the only solution for FDEV would be to roll back to the old Horizons shaders, and I am sure that wouldn't please a lot of players. It's an AMD problem, NOT an FDEV problem.

Which probably is the reason why AMD states on their website:

Adrenalin 22.10.1 Optional

as opposed to

Adrenalin 22.5.1 Recommended (WHQL)

You might also say that 22.5.1 is stable, while 22.10.1 is beta.
 
Which is why AMD Drivers option comes with a" Recommended ONLY "option So that You only ever install Stable Drivers and you don't get beta versions...
It also features MANUAL installation required option so that you dont down load buggy beta builds and then require safe boot in windows to fix what betas drivers break...

Only people who actualy changed the setting will have ever seen this issue at all...
The recommended setting is there because AMD know beta can break stuff...
