I'm absolutely on it
Hi there,
I haven't posted in a while. I have been eagerly awaiting for this update as I still do love Elite and what if offers, but the performance I have on my machine has been drastic and shocking. Going from 60+hrs game time per week to zero was, and frankly, upsetting.
I really really do not want to be a negative nelly and bust your lady balls, but the performance has seen no change and still plays awful on planets & settlements. I tried testing on this little ice planet near Sol. The jagged edges at a distance, the distorted textures and models and vastly wild fps spikes, it's rather nauseating.
I'm not technically minded, from my perspective, going from 60-75fps in Horizons, then going to 15-20fps is such a huge difference between the two. My computer is comparable to the recommended settings btw.
I do not know what else I can do.

We're on it :
This sentence started off so well…
whats the format the site would take
Since you are here sally i would like to bring to your attention something broken since launch in the CODEX with combat bonds not being counted at all!
this is the expired issue tracker on it.

after being obv killed due to low fps, i got to the prison ship and booked an apex to another starport so i can transfer my ship (since the ship and my carrier are 400LY away and apex aint able to take me there unless i do tons of jumps to contour the area it can't jump into)settlement status:
concourse wasn't that far away at 22
by update 25 i hope to be getting above 30 average
till then, horizon and 100+ fps it is
please don't mess horizons, i don't want to quit the game
but this is the second system in the pleiades and the second starport with nobody behind inter astra's desk.
am i missing something or there's another way to transfer my ship here?
edit: but i'm glad to confirm that this gimmicky menu does work flawlessly!

Sure. For now I've very much here BUT for the immediate update issues. I'll be able to handle other issues a bit better once all this has levelled out a little

On it! Thanks!
Thank you... we can't have PAs like that running around! First shot kills.. lol
As expected, no improvement in performance on the ground.
20-22fps average moving around at a ground settlement, with a few dips down into single digits.
Basically not playable for anything other than walking around and taking screenshots of pretty views, which basically sums up my Odyssey experience so far - pretty views and nice screenshots, no game play.
Also my on-foot controls got wiped but my ship controls seemed to all be intact still, so that's different.
The shadows in the cockpit are flickering like crazy, and look very low res ( might be my settings as I probably turned shadows to try and get playable frame rates ).
I only play at 1080p so the CAS stuff does nothing for the frame rates, it just makes the text look a lot worse.
So 4 months and 2 days since the release and it's still not actually playable. On a PC that I can play Cyperpunk 2077 at 1080 and get an average of 45 FPS.
