Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes

Good experience here solid 50 in the training mission, concourses, spaceflight right down to the surface. Fps dips into the red when exiting the ship but bounces up almost immediately to between 40 and 50. I had one mini jitter but the fps didn’t drop weirdly. Very playable, however i have a 1080ti, 9900k and 16gb Ram. I think ive been fortunate as even at launch with the same 1080ti and a 4790k it was ok. I think its a good patch and im happy with it but there is still work to do for FD.
 
Anyone have really delayed loading of stations? carriers take a few seconds after dropping in before they're visible, Coriolis stations can take way longer. Just lost my Anaconda because the coriolis appeared around my ship and instantly destroyed it. @sallymorganmoore one for your list?

AS mentioned earlier by others when exiting supercruise there is no station in front of me, it then renders in. Also the engine contrails are infront of ship on exiting supercruise which indicates im flying backwards when infact im travelling forward.

With regard to framerates, definite improvement its a lot more stable than last update however there is still some judder going on from time to time due to framerate drops.

ive noticed that lowering setting is now improving performance quite a bit if go from ultra to high, in previous updates this made little to no difference.
I will add the proviso that moving to mid or low setting auto disables AMD FSR and this then means performance tanks somewhat as you can only change supersampling settings to change performance.

My estimate is that there is a 10-15 % framerate improvement. So dont expect to go from 30, to 60 frames per second, its more like from 30, to 34 frames a second.

Wait are you saying that 50FPS is ok or even good? On which resolution 4k maybe 1080p no way
 
More testing suggests that the patch improved performance when FSR is at quality, but at ultra there is little difference. Suggest higher resolutions bottleneck something which masks the improvements of this patch.

Hi Sally, since you are still here - reactivation missions (turn on power at...) do not seem to progress.
Mission objectives are missing from the upper right hud corner
Turning on power is not acknowledged
Departing does not complete the mission - hence losing a precious Power Regulator

Not getting updates to progress in on foot missions.

So? any type of missions? cause i only tried 3-4 reactivation missions and none were progressing at all - not even having the mission objectives in the hud

My missions have all been fine (delivery to NPC / reactivations) - weird

Edit: Scrub that - getting occasional fails just like before they fixed it ...
