I have very little confidence the framerate 'optimisation' will do anything significant.
Tons of work still to be done there for sure. But if the improvements I have just seen with U8 in my rig (around +20% gains on average across the board) are a good reference to go by of what is come I would say I hope you may be surprised.
 
By now, there are surely tribes in the Amazon who have never had contact with the rest of the human race and yet are aware that there is no further news to report on the Odyssey console version.

'Hi Hector, how's the wife? Nice monkey you caught last week by the way...'

'Yeah thanks mate and she's not bad, she's just a bit disappointed that Elite Dangerous haven't made any announcement about the console version of Odyssey yet'

On a 3080 card I've seen virtually no improvements at all. It seems Odessey is the only game in my repertoire that needs me to downgrade my graphics card to work well. People running on 1080ti are seening frame rates in excess of 90 (if they are to be believed) in settlements, but with a 3080 I'm lucky to get 40...
I'm not holding out much hope for Update 9 as I genuinely thing the issue is the game struggles with more modern hardware.
 
wow so many statements and no information.

i Start really to think, that someone didn’t get the point.

FRONTIER STATED AFTER THE CRYOUT OF THE COMMUNITY (LOUDEST WAS THE PC FACTION) THAT THERE WILL BE OPEN COMMUNICATION. Where are the open communication to consoles? Where are the plans ? It’s clear, that when EDO get the warm hands that every cmdrs who is involved some of them aren’t happy, when the consoles claims their rights of information, that some could disagree and try to shut this critic down, because it could be in dangerous to get NEW CONTENT/FEATURES ( which was not mentioned in soon. This is selfish.

Shut me again down, report me again, because I’ve been brutal honest. Not in the comfort way, tried this on this way, shows no impact.

so be clear

me and some others are not drama queen at all, before this lack of service and development for our Plattform I haven’t a account for this forum, only read the complete cryouts. Now we are standing on a wall, nobody cares and this is a shame. Simple and clear

That's funny, I like some good-humored poking fun. Booking my flight to the amazon now.

As has been pointed out dozens if not hundreds of times already your issue isn't that there is no information your issue is that the information you've been given isn't to your liking.

The fact remains that Odyssey is still a mixed bag and as Brebus said the focus for Frontier is on making Odyssey work on PC first then console.
 
So... we're getting updates 9 AND 10 still this year? What a pleasant surprise.

Since FC interiors are after 9 but the tour is scheduled for December.
"plus new content in January 2022", thats intriguing, I wonder if the plan is to keep up with a monthly pacing of new content (rather than fixes)? If so that would be a step up from the quarterly releases of old.
 
Fleet Carrier interiors!! Lets go!!

Feeds nicely into my head cannon of making these a true home away from home for the PMF / Squadron, and letting us be a true Nomadic force within the 'verse!! (I will be a Space Wolf dammit and you can't stop me!! :p)
 
Will we have seats we can sit down in on fleet carriers for when they jump? Maybe an option to let us also sit in normal chairs lying around on foot?

Until Braben gives us another update (or allows an update) we're not going to see anything other than the same thing we've had. The social media managers and CMs can't provide any update on console, even if they have information that could be shared, until they're authorized. Sally has said that management is aware of the turmoil and dissatisfaction in the console community.

I've said all along, any gamer will understand why console players want more information. It's just that right now it's all getting a bit King Canute with people keeping on asking when FDev have already said countless times that they'll say something when they have something to say. I think some people are thinking 'Oh if I keep asking it will make sure they know we're still interested' but it doesn't do that at all.

Their interest is there because if possible they want to sell more copies of a £30 game expansion, no software developer has ever needed more reason than that. And if it turns out that it's not actually possible to get it running at a suitable quality on last-gen consoles, no amount of interest is going to make any difference.

You didn’t understand it, at all, but how you could be ? When I remember you’ve mentioned that you have elite on all platforms, it’s easy for you to switch the Platforms. Don’t get me wrong, but you’ve missed the point in my statement, that there was no statements about new features ? Right? Ore the fact, that they would like to open communicate with us? This statement which was shows, it’s the same way like you write your provider, same answer all the way.

But enough for me, no time to discuss it out with people, who are in the comfort zone, and didn’t affected by the problems and issues that we have. Remember BGS works crappy etc.

I will get into standby modus, ingame (deleted due to this dissapointing dev update again, oh I forgot and especially because it’s constantly crash on ps 5/ ps4 stuttering all the times) issues which are in the issuetracker)

someday, when Fdev clean their minds, and get some interesting news for the consoles. I will check in back, till then see you in the black o7

I agree with that completely.
 

That's a whole lot of nothing.

OA's new video addresses it a little. Good to see one of the community representatives discussing it.

"Unfortunately the news [on console] hasn't changed. Development on Odyssey is on the console version of odyssey is still on hold and the frontier do not have any further information to give on that situation at this point it does seem quite concerning and i know quite a few console players are feeling very frustrated about the situation the lack of any clear update about this from frontier is a shame for sure and well it would be nice to hear some more news about this soon for now though we are simply left guessing.
