Disgusting frame drop since patch.

For the love of god and this game Fdev. Before you “fix” anything else. Please sort out your instancing on Xbox. Anything more than a 2v2 and it just goes to hell. I really enjoy rock fights but at this point I just have to veto them.

I only run in the PvP circles really and a good 90% are having the same issue. The narliest of frame drops. This isn’t rubberbanding lag. This is the game. Yet it seems like nobody on the forum is talking about it or at least for some reason it’s not a top issues? The fact that the game is borderline unplayable. It’s like when station instances were janky as hell. This is something that needs patching now. I couldn’t give a rats about odyssey if it’s gonna play like this. If I wanted an FPS with kind of frame drop I’d play BF3(if you know, you know).

THIS

FIX THE LAG

As the name suggests, I’ve had enough of lag on both Xbox and PS4. Frame rate drops in combat. Around stations. In instance with SLFs. Super cruise filled with carriers. Maybe not related but instancing is atrocious. Played for 5 ish years want to see you succeed but please fix your game...

I hope next gen consoles will help eliminate some issues as probably Fdev do, and maybe that’s why they’re quiet about this.

True but quiets unacceptable when it comes to development. Hell I’d feel better if they were just like “yeah our bad, we’re not quite sure where we f’d up but we’ll look into it”. Honestly I reckon anytime they stream we just spam #fixthelag 🤷🏽‍♂️

I've encountered some framerate issues on PC since fleet carriers dropped as well, though I have more room to "absorb" the drops. Still, there are times where the game switches to "slideshow mode" for a second or two.

probably not wrong, at this point I think elite is just lucky no other game in the genre competes with it. If star citizen was released(laughs internally) on console and worked, elite would be in big trouble.

OP "The fact that the game is borderline unplayable. " Think for me it's gone past that; mission boards won't connect, constant yaw left (hotas checks out) since the last xbox crash when turning in a mission, now getting scarlet krait disconnects - all in the last hour. Trouble tickets don't work/solve anything, and there is no tech support. How does FDev do it? Better stop now or I'll have to apologize for a week.

I have an XB1s. Since October 2018. Got ED in November 2018.
ED played perfectly fine upscaled to 4k until January patch - or whatever patch was the one they changed the way FSS dealt with geo/bio POIs

After that patch i get random stuttering everytime i get near a planet - especially if it's one that i never visited previously. Sometimes the stuttering is so bad that SCA cannot hold course to the targeted station.

I started with Xbox 1 elite in '16, and upgraded to Xbox One X - worked through the 4k performance issues easy enough without a 4k monitor. When I got the 43" LG monitor the difference was so amazing I was glad I only played 3 games (Forza, Tomb Raider and ED) - then ED became the only game - at least until the FC update. Performance and bug issues are pushing me back to games that you can actually play and enjoy. Really hope they get the hot-fix patches under control, as this game is all I really want to play -- but with a fully thrustmaster driving sim just waiting to be refined, they better hurry. Going to try working my PC ED account and see if it's any better.

ED on Xbox has been suffering performance loss since the release of FCs.
Also since then the quality setting gives the same result as performance setting resulting in the loss of all special effects.
Four patches in and nothing has been done about all this, all they're doing is messing around with FC related stuff making it only worse so it seems.
Other bugs and negative impact following the FC update are being ignored up untill now (again).

Ditto here, Northpin. Yes, FCs introduced trouble loading the instance from hyperspace. But the stuttering in supercruise, has been around since the January update. Patch 2 on the Xbox helped but didn't really fix it.

We will be releasing the January Update - Patch 2 on 21 January at 12:00 PM (UTC) for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. This patch includes the stutter issue fix that we introduced in January Update - Patch 1 on PC, for players on console.

So, 4 hr session on the PC showed it is much better ED experience atm - full disclosure - flying with a full suite of Thrustmaster Warthog
HOTAS, Throttle and Pedals just might have influence the experience, but still not having to fight the yaw and able to hit a target was nice. Better fix it soon or xbox series x might turn into the liquid cooled super gaming computer I've been dreaming of.

I'm definitely noticing a hit to framerate at times too today, it almost seems network related. I just checked my network gateway which graphs latency and I'm not seeing anything weird on my end. I agree, it does seem like some kind of bug was introduced since last patch. Hope it gets fixed soon!

I don't think they are actually fixing anything they are just laying patch over patch over patch and have been for ages it's like trying to fix the leaks in a sinking ship with band aids when what it really needs is dry dock for a proper repair.

Can only relate my own experience, obvs. But, each patch performance on my Xbox One X takes a slight dip. Even with running ED from a SATA3 SSD via USB 3, at 5GBps. I'm lucky with my ISP, few issues there.

I've given up even with performance mode for now. Docked at Colonia, not fired it up since. And I'm not keen on switching to 1080p when I've a 4k setup.
