IRL, your eyes adjust to the darkness so that you can see better. In Odyssey, it goes the opposite direction - get the sun in your eyes, and you can see into the dark areas. Walk into those dark areas, and suddenly they become darker.
Yes I have checked for updates. None of the suggested options work. Has anyone here experience this problem with this severity?
In Odyssey, your eyes adjust to darkness, too. However, most people currently on Earth have not experienced real darkness for decades, if ever. Light pollution (helped greatly by 1atm) is a thing and gives us something for our eyes to adjust to.
Your iris opening to allow more light in low-light conditions, or closing to allow less light in bright conditions, has nothing to do with atmosphere whatsoever
No, but the amount of available light has a LOT to do with atmosphere. When there's not enough light, it does not matter how much our irises open, it's still dark.
There are some issues with the mechanism, but the night side of Odyssey planets being very very dark is not one of them.
Are you defending the fact that, while looking at a star in Odyssey, a really dark area that is also on screen suddenly appears lit up?
No, that's a bug, no argument, but a separate issue.
(and maybe look into it further, the Inflation Bug since then has been even more exploited and Odyssey has caused some hiccups as well. A full recalculation of Income Values based on the systems in a sphere is probably necessary in our opinion!). There have been other reports that greatly overlap with the big one, although those are not marked as "fixed", so this was most likely just a mistake by someone.
. And yet they haven't said it's going to be late . Just ..... Nothing ... Ignoring the issues with Odyssey that you are currently addressing obviously, some PP groups have noticed that the PP issue that was in the top 10 most upvoted issues since last year, September, WAS MARKED AS FIXED and is thus not listed in this ranking, at all. Without any actual fix to this issue being rolled out in the game or its backend DBs.
This is the issue:
We have verified it multiple times over this week and last PP Cycle and we are slightly disheartened by the fact that this issue, that has over 60 contributions and even more upvotes was swept under the rug. We don't even know when it was removed from the "existing issue"-board, and we hope that you awesome CMs can poke the QA folks that handle this sort of thing to please reopen it
Anyway, love your work, and if you can explain what happened here, that would be awesome!

The problem is that they have said many things and failed in many things . Autumn release for Consoles ?
They aren't even working on it
This is promising! Looks like Frontier is taking the issue of communication or lack there of seriously. Good stuff guys! Honestly it's overdue but much appreciated none the less.Greetings Commanders!
I'd like to introduce you to something new. Below is our first Top 20 Issues table, summarising the highest voted issues on the Issue Tracker. As part of being open and honest about the game's development, we'll be regularly posting updated versions of this table and discussing it on our Supercruise News streams.
Note: the status and planned release of each issue is subject to change as various factors affect the ongoing development schedule.
Top 20 Issues:
- Problems With Lighting and Illumination: We're happy to say this is now fixed since Update 6, having spent some time to monitor it afterwards. Any new issues to do with lighting should now be reported on the Issue Tracker as normal.
- Degraded Terrain Textures Compared To Horizons: A lot of the work for this went into Update 6, with some finishing touches coming in Update 7.
- Tiling Planetary Features: Changing the way planets are generated signifies a huge undertaking, so we're still investigating this.
- Low FPS Performance In Odyssey: This work will continue up to the end of the year, with improvements added already in Update 6, we know there is more to do.
- Limited Gameplay During Apex Shuttle Rides: Nothing to share at this time.
- Game Hangs On Exit Sometimes: Currently under investigation, we'll aim for the next update but it's one of the fixes more likely to end up in a later update.
- Invincible Thargoid Heart: We know this is a longstanding issue which has a complex cause. It's still being investigated and hasn't been forgotten. If you would like to contribute some information to this issue and others, please read this post.
- Anti-Aliasing Not Working Correctly: Some changes will go in Update 7 or 8, with significant improvements, but a full anti-aliasing system is slated for later this year.
- Joystick Buttons 32+ Not Working: Not started as other issues are prioritised.
- Expose Telemetry Data For Motion Simulators: We're currently discussing this internally, and may decide against it. If it does go ahead, it won't be before Update 8.
- NHSS Signals In Odyssey That Should Contain Interceptor Are Empty: Appears to be fixed, should arrive in Update 7 pending some further QA testing.
- Increased Performance Problems Since Update 5: Some further improvements are coming in Update 7, while general optimisation will be ongoing. The coming change won't be a fix for everyone, but will resolve some of the drops players are seeing.
- Supercruise Stuck At '0' Time Remaining With Tunnel Forming: Currently under investigation.
- Fleet Carrier Modules And Finances Not Calculated Towards Assets: In progress, slated for Update 7.
- NPC Fighter Kills In Conflict Zones Count As Progression: Currently under investigation.
- Support Missions Have Been Culled: Fix should be incoming in Update 7.
- A Previously Present Codex Entry Is Now Missing: Under investigation. Currently considered lower priority.
- System & Galaxy Map Misalignment In Widescreen Aspect Ratios: In progress, unlikely for Update 7.
- Stolen Tritium Cannot Be Donated Into A Fleet Carrier's Fuel Depot: Fixed, should arrive in Update 7.
- Missions and Rewards Not Sharing With The Team: Fixed, should arrive in Update 7.
This is a reflection of the current scenario, and due to the ever-evolving nature of game development, the planned release for these fixes is subject to change. Let us know what you think of this report below!
See you in the black Commanders,

While the gist of what you have to say has merit, you have to also consider why the shaders are complex.
