Nice.
Can we fix the sluggish SRV too... ASAP?? It's driving me nuts.
As is the lack of a data trader.

Development Update 2 - July
- Thread starter Arthur Tolmie
- Start date
Are you guys already accepting feedbacks regarding this new update? Well, 6 out of the 14 planets displayed have the same'ol crater feature we're all tired to see everywhere. Some of them have it twice lol
How many types of craters do you need? When I look at the moon, I see that lots of craters look very similar... some are bigger, some are smaller... but that's it... What types of features would you like to see on crater diversity?
Unicorn shaped craters
We want.
Even our moon have the same'ol crater features. All round shaped.

That would be unique, but quite unrealistic as well.
First thing that came to mind was Sally in When Harry Met Sally
Well damn. I was not impressed with the first dev update, as I felt it was lacking in details. This is one billion times better. Those new planetary textures look seriously impressive, and 4 player multicrew? Sign me up. Really looking forward to Update 6 and whatever comes beyond. More dev updates like this one will definitely go a long way to lightening this community's spirits. Appreciate the hard work!
P.S. I'm seeing some pretty noticeable terrain tiling on those planet shots, I really hope the team is committed to fixing that... there are certain shapes that I'm starting to recognize all across the universe, which is not good for exploration.

Hey, you should just be thankful that the scanner isn't the way it was when it was first released in Alpha, with having to press the button in time to match up the DNA pictures as they spun around.
Not until I see how much of the performance and lighting they've fixed - and maybe not even then. Angry players keep them focussed not sycophants who will be happy with any scraps they get thrown at them.
These are just on the moon, not one of them is a repeated crater stamp that's the same across billions of planets like ED has...

That would be nice, but few games look exactly like some concept art they released years before.

this right here! I bought Odyssey expecting VR at some point and you FD, you cheated me! I have not played ED since. I was a loyal, original Beta purchaser. An oldie from the original Elite of the 80s. I bought a VR headset BECAUSE of this game and now, I can’t bring myself to play it anymore. I’ve actually uninstalled it! One day, if VR ever comes to Odyssey I’ll come back but until then, I’ll sit in the wings finding some other space game to entertain me, Crying through embittered eyes, wondering what could have been!
FSR doesn't do you any good indeed - because it's not your graphics card limiting your frame rate. It's the game logic running on the CPU, which is inappropriately holding up the rendering thread, and accessing memory in such an inefficient manner not even the CPU is kept busy during the bursts. The nvidia driver also competes for CPU resources for little apparent reason (perhaps it's spinning on things for lower latency in some benchmarking). The simple solution here is to pipeline the CPU logic, since there's much time to spare. This would involve something like raising latency on NPC reactions by a frame. Since they're also targeting lower specced machines (e.g. consoles), they should fix the memory arrangement so the CPU can operate more efficiently as well. Throwing hardware at this problem is ineffective.
The images show the repetitive instancing is in full effect still. At a guess, they've made some attempt to have ground textures scale properly, as opposed to how Odyssey has been downgrading ground textures in some mistaken belief they weren't needed and texture memory was in short supply (it's certainly not clear what it was being spent on, it seems to leak).
Some nice stuff in there, but still holding out for performance improvements.
It's like the "Armstrong moment" faux-outrage. Or heck, "Addergate" from 2015. Partly people a bit too far on the spectrum losing their minds over details, partly some chronically unhappy people moving from outrage to outrage.Unicorn shaped craters

Some people have quite literally been upset since before launch and will never stop being upset, with a new Cry of Fury every few months. Just like some people are always 100% happy no matter how broken a product.
Anyone with any experience in customer services learns to zone out, smile and ignore the extremes. "Yes sir, we understand your concerns. We are so sorry."
As the CM said: words mean nothing. Let's see when the update 6 and further patches actually come and how significant are the performance upgrades before getting hopes up. Very interested in reading actual patch notes.
On a positive note: very nice to see the incoming increased module storage capacity.
Please consider doing a balance pass to reduce grind in general and to buff weak weapons such as cannons, flechette, shock cannons, etc.

Yeesh, FD. Can't even do maintenance mode right.
