Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 3

This is not a bug. Your clearance is 0 and the missing container is in one of the buildings that requires higher level clearance to show you the contents. So, either restart the game and hope that RNG will move the item to a different container (it has for me) or clone someone's higher ID and use the terminal again. It's probably in the Power Building...
Thank you for your answer. I will give it a try this evening.
Mission has been listed with thread level 0 and so I think it should be possible legally to get the container with personal data from outside the buildings?
 
@sallymorganmoore

A couple of things relating to surface POIs and settlements.

Thing the first:
This still happens (originally posted, confirmed and aknowledged in the issue tracker back in Alpha) https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/28341

Here's an update from this morning, terrain map usually shows now and i don't end up all the way up at the front of the radar anymore, but i need to do some more investigating of that, still happened occasionally before yesterday's patch.

Thing the second, not game breaking or anything, just curious:

When you take out scavengers and pirates (or any other humanoid target) from inside a ship or SRV, like using missiles, the bodies show on the ground until you disembark and then they're magically gone. Is this intentional behavior or a bug?


Completely unrelated but thing the third:

So, like a couple of weeks ago i finally got around to finishing unlocking Marco and was all exited to meet him in person and..well..

The last is obviously just in fun :D

Sometimes containers are actually in the base surrounds even though the tooltip says there in 'hab' or whatever.
 
Has anyone noticed if you are in your flight suit , that when you go to disembark at station or anywhere ,
You get a server error Black Adder then kicks back to main menu !!!
 
I jumped my fleet carrier a few times and was not ejected! It seems that it was fixed. Thanks Sally for helping and replying! :)(y)
 
This massive frame rate drop is still present when looking through store windows. (A problem with the player's reflection, maybe? Only seems to happen front-on, not at an oblique angle.)

Looking in through the door, 60fps.

Move left 3 paces, look in through the window, 36fps:

Same at Vista Genomics. Looking through the door, 60fps (as with most of the station interior):

Look through the window into the same store, 30fps.

This is repeatable, and also happens with interior windows in settlement buildings.

New bug in Odyssey: despite planet now being flat as a pancake (drawn-on "fissures" on ground are literally like a painted pattern, the surface is actually as smooth as a billiard ball) I recalled my ship three times, it got to the point of deploying landing gear, then retracted its landing gear and dismissed itself again. Three times.

And geologiocal sites (I found one just driving, needle crystals were present as well as crystalline fragments) are still broken - the needle crystals dispensed only iron.
 
I'll add this in the hope FDev take a look,

Great patch - but I'm still having real nasty issues with Fleet Carriers - even after todays Update 3.

1. Uninstalling a Facility (such as a shipyard) sometimes causes a soft lock - can only be done in a Carrier Admin system.
2. Can't Purchase all the ships from the Carrier Shipyard - Ship Packs. An Example: If you buy a Combat Advanced Pack it should contain Fer De Lance's and Mamba's - though when you go to buy one for yourself the Mamba is missing.
3. Your Stock count is no longer 'live' so you can't see if anyone has bought anything from your Carrier unless its in a Carrier Admin system.
4. No bloom or Glow on your Carriers Engines.
5. Overlapping control text on the livery screen where you input the Carrier Name.

See you in the black, Commanders o7
Still no fix for Empire ranking I have been promoted to knight about 30 times, I need access to the cutter please.
 
after try the update 3, i have FPS problem in stations and planetary port with a rtx 3070 and a Ryzen 7 3700X. I have 58-90 fps after entering the station but after a while, normally when I plan to exit via the lift to the hanger, the FPS tank to 30fps and keep tanking to 25-20. It´s runs fine until i start to walk toward the elevator, in the hangar yesterday after the update I have seen 15 fps, in a rtx 3070 with a ryzen 7 3700x, before the update in the hanger i managed to get 120fps.......

All of this in 1080p all ultra, in my case it´s a huge step backwards.

When all of this happens, the GPU temperature drops but the usage remains at 100% and if you alt-tab to windows when this happens, windows have the same stutter as elite.

Yup, I scanned a planet and there were still eight distress beacons on the planetary surface. I'm more than 2000 ly from the bubble. Don't get me wrong, I quite like having the POIs there (because there's more to do), BUT just to let you know.
 
While performance isn't quite where I want it to be yet (and work on it hasn't finished, I know), this is the first update where I can say I'm seeing a very clear improvement at settlements/certain situations. (y)

The graphic optimization made my fps went up on last weeks update(giving it a 30~40fps on med settings), but this week totally killed my fps, I'm down to 10 fps on surface settlement, though tweaking client settings made me go back up to 30 by lowering settings.

I'd agree it'd be better to first get things to work, then let it run better later, but sometimes it's also important to keep the environment comfy when doing work in.
As code engineering and graphic engineering are 2 different paths, so they should both progress at the same time, unless FDev is really short on human resource...

A different issue i think?

What i'm talking about is the stuff in POIs, cargo and mats being misaligned in the radar.

Your FPS going down when mine are going up is a price I'm willing to pay. 😅😜
