Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

@sallymorganmoore

o7 again

Something that bugs me since the release of Odyssey. Even with recent iterations on the lighting, these issues still persist.
  • The HUD is really dark. It went from a nice, bright orange in horizons to a dark, de-saturated orange in odyssey. Some parts are hard to read, like the comms panel on the top left. Furthermore, the vibrant light blue of our shields is now a un-saturated turquoise. (I guess it's more of an color issue with the HUD than a brightness issue)
  • Stars are still missing a lot of bloom when seen from a farther distance.
  • Nebulae, even after recent changes, are still hard to see, same applies for the stars in the skybox.
Just to highlight my points a bit more:

I also created a new ticket for these issues. I would really appreciate it if you could acknowledge these issues and pass them onto the devs :)


Thank you very much for your hard work!

Those Odyssey shots look better than the Horizons shots, way to much bloom in the Horizon shots.
 
1 - Some radars still terrible due the reflex (Courier screenshot).
2 - Still can't see which engineer and experimental effects the modules has in shipyard (and most of us store ships with engineered modules because 120 storage space is not enough).
3 - Sound Effects in some ships still broken (ex: Corvette you almost can't hear the boost, Courier I can't hear the fuel scoop in action)
4 - Still can't browse my stored modules from ship modules (only shows browse to buy new ones).
5 - The shadows on planets and moons still flickering
6 - Still there is no way to see the % of your ship's shield (as you was able in Horizons)

Some people I've been chatting to have speculated that the orange sidewinder errors are down to a borked steam update.

Did everyone who is getting Orange Sidewider errors update via Steam?
Just an idea, could be wrong.
 
Read the box...the arrow is literally pointing to what is in the box.

Bit tense, aren't we?

Just to confirm, it worked!

Just for complains... it should not be happening in the first place 😒


Edit: weird that since EDO launch the Unamused smiley became my most used smiley here on the forums.... 😒
 
After every new patch I can't help thinking "when will you guys finally admit that Odyssey is still beta, pull it and go back to the drawing board ?"
I do understand the frustration, but that ship has sailed.
Now we have to work as a community and help FDEV as much as we can to not only fix the product, but improve with more content and features.
Hello games did, and I'm sure Frontier will do even better.

Another machine with steam ran well after the update, and my 'principal' didn't even with all the checks.
It seems to be an intermittent issue.

Possibly, important question here why they still do manual updates directed by human then? It must be 1 click-to-run script long ago which deploys all places updates the sames.

Exactly. Filling threads like this with complaints just slows everyone down. Find a problem, report it, repeat.
 
I was talking about the naked eye, not the telescope.
I have telescope too :) With naked eye I see 1-2 "points", maybe planets ...with telescope I see 20 sometimes :D
That's why I started to play Elite. Sky was too bad and keeps for last 5 years or so.
 
Because it's broken on linux :D On Linux only bottom buttons work in launcher, everything else if clicked don't work or hang, so need to kill it.

if you use proton experimental or at least 6.3 then this is no longer true.

you can click on your name in upper right corner of launcher and change the logged in account, turn off cache if you want, verify files etc.

no need to install anything extra like .net
 
Why you keep calling it beta? Its still an alpha.
Beta MAY have bugs, beta software WORKS. Alpha is a work-in-progress. This is what we see here.
And making a release thats not even tested to public like this one? Really?
I mean, I appreciate the work devs doing but why we dont get paid as testers? Cause software tester is a JOB.
Its ridiculous they sell it.
 
Sounds like a very BAD start. Looking into it. Has anyone else here been experiencing this? I am early in the thread to be fair.
I am also seeing that Orange Sidewinder.

Edit: I validated the files from the ED launcher (I am also Steam) as others have suggested and I am in. thanks everyone and thanks Sally for helping us!

Ok, let me try to delete mono, thanks.
 
What's happening with the issue tracker for you, just because I'll need to look into that rather than have the issue here, hehe. Thanks!
Get red toast in right botom corner, says unable to add issue.
