Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 5

[Prof Horatio Hafnaugels]

Meanwhile, Asobo is releasing a patch for MSF that’s expected to improve performance by as much as 60%. It’s so crazy to think that MSF will end up having better performance than EDO.

But at least EDO doesn't have stretched textures on high mountains...
...no, wait! That was EDH.

 

[Markoz]

Well done FDev! I love the new bright look of EDO. A great improvement, and makes gameplay easier, and much better looking. EDO now seems much better than before (especially since the Mauve Adder problem was fixed).

 

[Lubos]

Aaaand the framerate is still crap. You're really killing this update
To put some numbers on it: I have better than recommended specs, play on the lowest settings including 0.5 supersampling, and get 40 fps on space stations.
I actually went from being frustrated to downright enjoying how incompetent FDev is.

 

[Pisodeuorrior]

Ok I might be dumb but I found no way to share a mission, create a team or invite someone in it. Did anyone figure that out?

 

[john_obrien]

Sweet baby Jesus the outfitting UI and flow is so much better. Thank you Fdev for making these changes.

The screenshot was taken using ReShade (but the actual ReShade shaders are off).

Uninstalling ReShade does not make anyt difference. Taking the screenshot with in-game method does not make any difference. Using other screenshot tools also. Etc.

But as I said above, it could actually be my override graphics XML file.

::EDIT::

Also, in Horizons everything is fine, the slider is around the middle and the left-most image is barely visible then.

The Odyssey gamma settings on my laptop.

At this point, I am open to suggestions. I tried re-logging. Found myself IN the settlement and being attacked for avoiding a scan!!!! <insert swear words> Frontier! Ship nearly destroyed and fined for the priviledge!
Went back to station and tried again. Still no key code!

This is the second "impossible" mission in 2 days!
I am starting to think I should be getting paid to test this game.
Should at least get some sort of in-game re-imbursement as an apology.
(PS. On the plus side, in station FPS seems better snd planetary terrain 'updating'/'refresh' seems better)
..

I should say UI in Anaconda is better now then it was in Horizon.
I couldn't say before (even in Horizons) if it is 6 or 8 there on right side. Now I see exact is it 6 or 8.
Guess Fidelis did the trick.

Plain as day a bug. To complete your mission though, you can - as long as not also bugged - get keycode from a terminal (if you have high enough security access).

 

[Joe Akeem]

... even if you don’t have an AMD card but it won’t function properly (obviously). The game may look sharper and bright (but very grainy). You should turn it off if you don’t have a card that supports it and you’ll gain some FPS too.

This is false information. AMD's Fidelity is open source and works the same regardless of red or green hardware.

Would probably be useful to know if its showing in the terminal properly. Otherwise...e-hack the container?

 

[Sluggy71]

When targetting thargon swarms for the flak cannon the number of thargons is no longer listed.

 

[Bier00t]

So some quick notes after playing for 15 minutes:

• crashed Anaconda in new Thargoids/Guardian "battleground" is dark as f*, even when shining on it with flashlight its still very dark like it's eating the light - see screenshot 2 and 3
• same place - only 1 and 2 grade materials spawn (maybe its intentional)
• same place - terrain texture is really low LOD and texture is "fractal" (I have everything on Ultra and planets on Ultraforcapture) - see screenshot 1
• System Map - new click to show details, second click to focus on body, click and hold for targetting - being nice I would just call it junky
• screenshot button (F10) again is not working

Edit: also when you look at my screenshots you can notice inverted texture.

So no engineer unlocking for this funster....

Hello! Apologies for me darting here and there.
Just want to let you know we're aware of some strangeness happening with unlocking engineers. More info to follow, jsut a little more time Thanks so much.

 

[alexzk]

Oh wow, now i see separated stars in galaxy's disk, that is awesome.

 

[DarthLuca]

Ahh thanks for this. Can I ask the exact name of the mission please? Thanks! (Would you mind DMing me that info too please? So I don't lose it. Thanks!)

Hope this helps, Sally . . .

PS. Ahh there was NO keycode. Guess that helps to finish this mission . . .

As usual Sally is the patch day hero we barely deserve. Thank you. I hope you've at least moved from lunging to sitting since your 7am start

Thanks for keeping track. The strangeness isn't about engineers, but that all the on-foot support missions (needed to unlock the engineers) have disappeared from all stations. I'm talking about the restore and reactivate missions.

Nobody can. This bug came with patch 5

yup, the missions I happen to do the most are the ones that are disabled... (coincidentally, they were disabled for a chunk of Alpha as well...)
