We've had a tonne of feedback on this and it's heard loud and clear
Leave it with us!Switched back to 4K native (**meaning I set the Display res to 4K) from the 2K I was using for Odyssey and I would be happy to leave it on 4K now for exploring (I can't test settlements), getting solid mid 30 - 40fps on foot on Quality/Quality+ terrain (spot shadow High) on my GTX 1080
Early days but I havent seen any weird terrain wobble movement or pop when traversing in an SRV also

remember this is the size of a movie screen
Is the change to Smear Campaigns intentional? They are now illegal to download even from open access dataports (like in the bar area), and the NPCs open fire as soon as you try to get one.
Why was this changed? Those things are hard enough to get as it is.
And while I'm at it, Opinion Polls are even harder to get than Smear Campaigns. I'm pleased that I only need 10 now, but the real problem is the abysmal drop rate. It's not fun to check data port after data port and get nothing you want. Even getting 10 will take hours of repeated checking. It's grind to the max with these.

Not gonna lie, it really is peak Frontier for me.We've had a tonne of feedback on this and it's heard loud and clear
"Ok guys, final check! Did we fix the mission POI? Improved visuals and audio? Gave better performance options? Added some new features? Yes to all? Anyone has anything to say before we release this thing we slaved all month on?"
dude in the back raises his hand
"I think we should add a small timer to the one thing every player does over and over for literally thousands of times. I think it'll be fun."
I am not worried, cant imagine this wont be hotfixed out ultra-pronto. But it is bizarre how FD manages to undermine all their work with sometimes baffling decisions.
Supersampling can help a bit. But there's some sort of extra layer messing up; when I pan, edges look fine, but when the camera goes steady they keep creeping for a while before settling on a heavily aliased version. It's like it's applying an undocumented layer of temporal antialiasing that can't be switched off and destroys all attempts to get good antialiasing done.
FPS are still very bad. No matter what I set, the graphics always look muddy, except native 4k. The AMD stuff only makes things worse. CAS before the patch was quite usable. It cannot stay that way.

A quick clarification. If you are using FSR, it's not rendering natively. That's pretty much the point to improve the performance. Unfortunately FSR is not magic.
To be honest without a "Digital Foundry" like comparison with native vs FSR modes which would differ for still images and in motion. Everyone is going to have a subjective opinion on it. I would expect native resolution to always look better than FSR in its current implementation.
From most of the FSR comparison videos online, very few recommend using FSR or DLSS if you are running a 1080p screen.
Have a look at something like;
Have you double checked the display refresh rate setting? When I upgraded to Odyssey (both Alpha and full release) the dsiplay refresh rate setting was set to some weird figure like 12.5 or something (I set it to 60fps as that is what my monitor is) and it caused a really washed out picture like smeared in Vaseline.

Gotcha! Thanks.
With FSR set to Ultra Quality:
With Normal set to 1.0 (no supersampling):
When my HUD is blurry even on the highest setting I think calling that setting Ultra Quality is a bit misleading. I would have to agree with those asking for old CAS back. FSR might be an improvement for those who were running supersampling below 1.0 (i.e. upscaling), particularly on very high resolution UHD screens, but for those running at native resolutions I'm not convinced the slight FPS boost is worth the noticeable drop in quality.
I still think it's great that FDev implemented it so quickly and we don't know if there are more improvements to be made here, I'm just pointing out that you do need to make your own judgement on what works best for you.

Can you post the complete screenie? Not sure where that is, dont see it in my ship (currently docked).Read your messages.
Thanks for this! It would be even more fun if they can mix in some auto-generated local/system news and maybe anecdotes/short stories.
