Well let's hope if you ever need a life saving operation, nobody ever says to you "Why should I care? I'm perfectly healthy!"

Coul FDev roll back the planetary update and shaders?

If it would be that simple they wouldn't wait for some random forum dude to give them advice.
You should really wait with commenting in the morning until you've have enough coffee.
None of us know what might come to Odyssey in future - for example, full atmo planets with wildlife. I lay bets the Horizons planet tech couldn't cope with that, but I'd be surprised if the Odyssey planet tech doesn't have the basics needed to support it one day.
So, they ripped off the bandaid and went with the new system. It has its moments, sure, but to me it's already far better than Horizons ever was.

But that's a heightmap issue and they are used in both H and O, so it's likely rolling back would have zero affect on it!
lolz but for me it's always with EDO settlement. Guess I landed less in EDH now so rare to see it in EDH.
Is there any reason to think that the planetary tech is the problem? It's not the only place there are frame rate drops (I get some leaving the hangar - OK it's in VR but I'm using a 3080, could dial down the settings but they're otherwise unchanged from pre-Odyssey).
There are issues with the planet tech and what it produces but is it really likely to be responsible for poor frame rates?

Why? I'd say the same thing coffee or not.
I knew people would chime in with "The game works fine for me so why change things?" comment. But they're not thinking of the betterment of the product and the playing experience of everyone who purchased it, they're just looking after their own interests. Even though they know the game is broken.
Far too many people pull the "I don't care because I'm fine!" card these days. Like the people who refuse to wear masks during a pandemic "I'm not ill, so why should I wear a mask?" or the people who say that changes to something, like benefits for the sick and disabled, don't affect them because they're perfectly healthy. But then complain that people who are sick and disabled are getting something for nothing anyway.
The problem is, most of these people who do have this "I'm fine so why change it!" attitude are exactly the same kind of people who make the most noise if something is changed that does affect them. And they forget that the change could eventually end up giving them a much better experience in game. It's just that the change might mean going back to an older version for a few months and people these people want everything NOW! RIGHT NOW! I WANT! like little children throwing a tantrum because their mother just told them it was time to put their nice new toy away and go to bed. one of the reasons Odyssey was released as it is (plus No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 for that matter) is due to gamers putting pressure on that makes the companies worry that if they don't release something now, strike while the iron is still hot, the gamers will find something else to play. So, they end up releasing a broken product and the same gamers who were crying that the game wasn't out sooner become the ones who are now crying on the forums and social media, issuing death threats and harrassing developers over Twitter, because the game isn't exactly what they wanted.
Perhaps you should be looking at the people who are motivated from ego and self serving attitudes rather than having a go at people who call them out for it. They're the ones that cause most of the problems we all face. It's not just limited to video games or a few words on a forum, but also to other walks of life as well. People take, but often don't want to give. they want everything and they want it now and sod everyone else's needs.
Maybe these forums and the internet in general would be a nicer place to inhabit if everyone wasn't out to score personal gains at the expense of others... Just a thought.

There's a leveling tool applied around the settlements in Odyssey, so it's probably that buggering up the height maps, but just for record, while I haven't been to a huge number of settlements, I haven't seen this in any I actually have visited.
Yes let's generalise everybody, I mean we are all the same right?
For the record, planetary tech for me is fine and I haven't had an issue, if you are having an issue with it then it's that issue that needs to be addressed, just demanding a rollback because you aren't satisfied just dismisses all the players who are actually satisfied, so the same argument reflects back at you. Your attitude is, "mine's bad so let's ruin it for everyone", instead of "mine's bad, let's figure that out and fix it!"
I mean why should people for whom the game is running perfectly well suffer a rollback for the ones who aren't?
Or maybe we can all work together making reports and testing so that it gets fixed for everyone!
All we are doing is disagreeing with your Op to rollback the planetary rendering.
Because we, and l speak for others, are happy with the way it is. We're not sticking our heads in the sand we're simply voicing our opinion. Which is exactly what a forum is for.
It's not about score it's about Freedom of speech and respect for others.

No, it's working fine for you and you don't want it to change. Even though there are plenty of other people who are having problems with the game. But you don't care about them as it's fine for you. So why help them if you can just help yourself?
The game wouldn't be ruined for you if it looked a little worse but played better on a wider range of systems. But because you've got the nice shiny new coat, you don't want to give it up. That's not respect, that's just you and others thinking with the ego of I, Me, My and Mine. "I don't want the game to change because it works fine for ME and I don't want MY experience to change to suit others. It's their problem not MINE." And you'll defend that view, but as soon as someone comes along with something that affect you you're the first to start crowing about it.
Take a look at society, mate. It's driven by this self serving me vs the world attitude. Everyone is out to get one over on everyone else. That's why everything is screwed up.

So saying the game works fine for me don't change it is terrible but saying the game works terrible for me downgrade the game is fine?
What a weird thread and I don't need to be a developer to say that your suggestion isn't going to happen.
What else could I possibly add to this dumpster fire of a thread? Take a step back and read your own statements again, perhaps the irony won't be lost on you then.
