+1 never play on patch day, It really should be mentioned in the Codex somewhere
I played on patch day after both patch 1 and patch .1 successfully - with a Steam version of the game and it ran fine (also one of the lucky ones who's performance isn't completely tanked at settlements / concourse), and I play in VR. Tho' since yesterdays update I also get a black screen on exit every time now.
What I don't like is being mis sold a product supposedly at release stage that is barely at alpha in reality (beta generally mean close to release with just bug finding to do -
don't need to find bugs in Odyssey, they find you). I also bought the game on the proviso that some form of VR was still in the game.
With that said however, their statement that you could remove the HMD to continue playing on the monitor was an omission of facts that when you remove the HMD it doesn't pause the headset but continues mirroring what's on the HMD so on the monitor you get a smaller window with a lovely grey surround (which you can't zoom in to fill the screen even), plus the VR specific bug fixes appear to be continuously ignored, as in...
(page 45) Are these VR fixes coming in Update 5?
More rocks seem to be rendering in one eye only or totally invisible since this mornings update - feeling only, nothing quantifiable but I was on the same planet before the update and immediately noticed more offset rocks after, gave me a headache
Free camera and DSS are borked - Still no orbit lines in FSS
Unfortunately, Sally (doing a bang up job btw) only does the forums on patch day and I notice a lot less interaction with the CMs on every other day.
