Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 4

I'm not white knighting them but I really can't understand loading up on missions just before or during the patch on a live-servers game like this.
I took them 3+ hours before...... maintenance is supposed to be 40 minutes... if Maintenance is going to be longer, then the Devs need to put the timers on hold until next log in.... other games do it, so why not here ?!?!

Because it's different?? I didn't write the code, I just know there are some basics in preparing for an upcoming patch. Don't stack up missions before the patch, and don't expect it's going to be smooth sailing as soon as the servers allow logins again. Been this way for years so it won't be any different next patch. Or you can keep doing it and be mad I suppose.
 
Good job Fdev Team, really noticeable changes on frames, and less to none stutters on flaming settlements. Really feels better and smooth now. Haven't tried FPS conflict zones yet but again really good improvements!. Good job and thanks a lot for fixing the issues
 
Everyime I jump my ship, I get a box pop-up saying "route cancelled" which is clearly erroneous. Happens as I enter hyperspace:

EDIT
I'm trying to create a ticket for this but I can't. Exactly like the last ticket I tried to submit, it says "the issue could not be loaded". How are we supposed to report these things if the tool to report them is borked?
Apologies fo the large day-glo text but I've posted about this numerous times.

From concourse, stations, ship interiors to the HUD. the lighting is just so incorrect currently. Either way way too bright, or black.

it is not currently enjoyable, at all.

Flimley
 
I may be able to help. Im having hard time downloading patch too. I have to End Task ED Launcher many times and re try until it finally works. Just recently I figured it may have something to do with windows security and before starting ED Launcher I go to Windows Security, Virus and Threat Protection (Manage Settings), turn off Real-time Protection and turn off Cloud-delivered protection. Now it works fine. You can turn everything back ON once your done.
Thanks, I've already tried that. I have Norton AV installed and I added all the apps/folders to the exclude list. I'm not willing to just shut of my AV however (shouldn't have to either).
 
Odyssey stats FAIL.

Also it says I killed 0 scavengers which is not true. I killed about 200. No wonder why my rank is still Defenceless.. stats are completely messed up.
 
Galaxy Map still has a repeating short audio loop stuck in it, which I first noticed after last week's patch. Sounds like a car's turn signal clicking endlessly.

Ya, one of those is ships, one is on foot. Oh, and there is a Cmdr Codex issue, read up a few pages.
 
Wow, can not believe I hit the sack and come back with issues still present from the update..... I still can not get playing without Orange Sidewinder, even with all the issues of Odyssey I could at least get on and play just dealing with horrid FPS and weird GFX glitches, now.......................

This Xpac so needs a Square Enix "pull it offline til its done" at this time.
 
Hello !

I'm very happy that Frontier is also responsive to improve our experience on Odyssey. But, however, i'm starting to lose my patience with a bug that many players have since launch of Odyssey, and is still not solved in Update 4 and livery UI fix

Is still not possible to see and choose store purchased shoulder decals buy before Odyssey (Skull, Empire, Alliance and Federation decals) I have transmitted the information in the thread of Update 1, 2, 3 and now 4. Same in the ticket of the issue: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/32007 and https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/37487

Please @sallymorganmoore, it's possible to send a message at Frontier ? Many players and me really need to have a fix. :cry:

Sorry if my english is bad, is not my language and i do my best :)

This makes the game totally unplayable, shoulder pads are crucial to many CMDR's, I can't imagine playing without my pads

Lighting looks worse now than in previous updates. Solar flares still look like sausages. Planetary tech still not working right for planets I visited. Can't use thrust or boost when exiting supercruise - those controls are frozen until my ship speed drops to zero. Missing sound effects when exiting supercruise: engine thrust, boosters, and air traffic control. Altered color/lighting scheme on Hahn Station looks pretty bad. Lower framerate in stations than in previous updates (40 fps, and 30 fps when looking through windows.)

I'm losing faith Odyssey will be in acceptable shape in any reasonable time frame.
 
To FD
ive played on and off since late beta and i really want you to succeed despite some of my comments on here, so please pull this xpac and work on it and re release it when you release on console and most importantly listen to the elite fans and if there's something you just cant do then come out and be up front about it at lest then there's no guessing on our part as we will have the facts. as it stands im very glad i didn't buy this xpac.
 
Yeah it's looking pretty grim actually. Seems like for everything they fix, they introduce more bugs. Elite is just a bug ridden mess at the moment - megaship piracy broken, point defence broken, SLF AI broken, certain sound FX broken, Mercenary rank broken, Codex broken............the list goes on......

Getting kinda depressed about the whole thing now :(

Edit: And now you can't even close the game properly - just hangs on a black screen AGAIN sigh
