Yeah. You could fry an egg on my 3080 playing Odyssey. The heat coming off the top of the case feels like a hairdryer, and it happily kicks up the ambient temperature in the office a good 5-6 degrees. I do miss Horizons where my fans barely spun at all...
Give me a locked 30 fps in ground CZs with Update 7 and they can take as long as they like for whatever else they have in the pipeline.
Per FDEV, there won't be. The major fixes are slated for Update 8.
This is nice to hear.
Yeah, I'll take incremental, if it can get me stable 30 fps on the ground, that'd be nice. As far as 8 goes,l am not throwing all my eggs in that basket, although it will likely be the point where I decide to take a break if it doesn't make things marginally better, and reclaim EDO HD space for something else that I feel like playing.
I wonder if ship landing legs will actually touch the planet surface this update.
Anybody else got a song stuck in their head?
For me it's 'Zac doesn't like Mondays' from The Bottom Hats.
Because it's always just blue on the schedule.
Thank you for this announcement
Darn - I thought it was Wednesday 
I’m assuming, which is a bad start, that it will likely be a fairly quick update without the need for the servers going down for half the day? I’m easy either way but curious to know what to expect.
Heyo, servers are likely to be down for around 1 hour before the update is live. Will have more concrete information tomorrow.
Excellent, just enough time to move some paper around my desk and tell myself it’s been a good day‘s work before checking out U7.
Thanks for the info Zac.
