Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes

[Úlfhéðnar]

What resolution are you playing on & what FPS are you expecting?

1080p
Given that I play on medium - high settings
and that I play games like AC Valhalla with similar settings and more action going on with around 40FPS more
I would say around 20FPS more

Ok, thanks!

The only mention of aliasing in the changelog was:

Additional set of fixes for the aliasing seen on planet surfaces.

and indeed, planets look pretty good. Everything else is still super jaggy though, and it's really noticable in concourses and hangars.

The ship was leaving upon deployment in CZs before this patch. Never took a SRV though.

I did say it was not leaving if you deploy in a srv... And it is also kinda weird cause why can't I just have it stay if I want to?

Performance in a foot CZ of a small(!) non-Agricultural/Extraction settlement seems slightly more stable, but still gives ~30 FPS on both Low and High settings (1060 Ti/1080p).

Thanks for all the hard work! As far as I'm concerned, no worries in delaying the deployment for critical fixes. It makes sense

I am kinda scared to test ground CZ

But now I am confused. Has anyone checked how much space the U8 took up? It looks like I have about 10 GB more space now than before the update. That's impossible, isn't it?
...

I hope i remember to check it when i download it, maybe we are finally getting ready for the beta

I hope the dev's don't forget the " Thermal conduit too strong and gives incorrect damage increase " is also for plasma accelerators and laser beams alike.

I already did - on the 'wrong' settings... 4K high etc. Livestream linked above.... It wasn't too dreadful.

Okay guys, here's my FPS (I'm not techy, but I assume this gives an indication ). BTW I have never experienced any noticeable stuttering in a station, even in a settlement, only during combat really. However when entering the station I did experience some As you can see it went up and down, mainly the bar are and the main concourse affected it in the station. During combat, a concentration of men firing seemed to bring it down to 16ish FPS as shown in the additional pics posted on my post below this one.

Character

• Updated Existing Horizons cosmetics to have Odyssey Variants.
  • The existing Horizons Cosmetics now have Odyssey counterparts included in their packs for no additional cost!
  • Each piece of the existing gear has been split up into a torso and a legs section, allowing for compatibility with already existing Odyssey attire!
  • The torso section also supports under suits allowing players to customise the base suit with existing cosmetics and have it appear underneath the jackets from the horizons packs.

Can't seem to find this one unless I've gone blind from staring at Neutron Stars for too long...

And during the main combat part where it got bad

Hardware? resolution?

That's because we still don't have our glasses back.

All 4k correct?
It really needs a direct comparison with what you had before with the same graphics settings ..

Still getting huge frame spikes when entering stations (as in going through the airlock, and entering from supercruise) and approaching Odyssey settlements (both scenarios drops framerate to around 4fps, worst case), light is still bleeding through solid surfaces in stations, and shadows are still dancing everywhere.

Performance in the concourse really good now though, almost reaching a consistent 60fps minimum. Odyssey settlements are still netting me 40-55fps on average after the frame spikes are over.

When exiting my ship into on-foot gameplay - in the black transition screen - I drop to around 20fps when near an Odyssey settlement.

Ryzen 7 3700x and GTX 1080ti if that matters, resolution is also 1920x1080, no upscaling.

I've had mine back for ages now

That's a decent system spec, so good luck getting even 30fps on PS4/XBOX.

I think that's what you mean? Sorry again, I never take much notice of this usually.
