Ah. That part is interesting. Perhaps it might also help to restore some of my motivation, after all.

Anybody else got a song stuck in their head?

For me it's 'Zac doesn't like Mondays' from The Bottom Hats.

And there we are again, no news about the consoles, oh wait hey a Update for hrzn? Cool, let’s wait half a year again, to get something for the consoles. Next step? EDO? Confirmation that is still scheduled for consoles? No? Then nothing interesting beside the little update for HRZN.

will get back into my cage

Will this horizons patch contain the newest attempt at fixing the heart bug?

and again the answer is always the same: if they don't know when they'll manage to make it work properly on pc, they can't have the faintest idea of when (and if) they could make it work on consoles.

They have literally, several times, said that console development is on hold until Odyssey is in a solid state. There are performance fixes scheduled for this update and Update 8, which we don't have a release date for. Knowing that there's at least one more update for performance fixes to come (likely more) before the game is in a state they find satisfactory, what kind of update are you looking for? It's on hold and you'll know when it isn't.

It's for the best.

I hope this update will finally fix the massive performance problems VR players have to deal with. It's unplayable when flying in or around stations

 

[Zac Cocken]

Yup!

 

[angusmadmac1]

Just don't break EDH ...
Please don't

Isn't that update 8, for proper performance improvements...

Interestingly, I have no issues flying in or around stations in VR, maybe the Oculus ASW takes care of any inconsistencies?

 

[ebd2ster]

Another update, they already have me up to the top of the crown, again you have to reprogram the hotas keys in Horizont, because they do not solve the one that every time they make an update, they erase the programming of the controls.

I'd say don't expect big performances improvements with Update 7, if we are lucky we'll get some noticeable ones in Update 8
