Because one moment you can't hand in a mission and the other moment you're frozen on 1 FPS for two minutes which is, unfortunately, literally unplayable.
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 8 Notes

Maybe not this update, but 60fps anywhere should be achievable, as I have seen instances of 60+ fps actually anywhere, just not for long.
it is a game though, a game.
Going from 20 to 30 is massive. I can get a solid 30fps on a laptop well beyond min specs, just a matter of really lowering quality. There are piles of games where my 2070s cannot get solid 60fps without fsr of dropping quality settings anyway.
A percentage as rough target is what I want to know. How I balance performance with visual quality is then up to me.
Yes, but it's a product too though, a product. A product for which people paid full price and was supposedly released in a finished state, only to suffer severe performance issues and bugs for 6 months straight with still no definitive date on which said issues are all resolved.
Use the same whip you beat us unruly CMDRs with on the Devs!

I use a wireless Xbox One pad. A while back, the batteries ran out and I didn't have any charged spares. So I plugged it in via the USB cable.
Result: game no longer recognised the pad and assumes it's a new device. I couldn't even select my previously saved control binds files, just didn't show up in either EDH or EDO. I had to go back and re-map all binds from scratch (thankfully I only had to change/add about 10 or so otherwise use the default - still a PITA though and no other game does this).
By its nature you play the game and expect it to run smoothly enough. If its stuttering about and being poopy then you can't enjoy it.
Things is here in GT 1030 land FD need to give me 10 fps more on the surface at all low and keep a consistent framerate- if they can do that I'll be happy.Going from 20 to 30 is massive.

confirmed this week myself
That's a great Patch Can't wait to hop back in after work.
Regarding the improvements to geysers: I'd LOVE to see something like cracks in the ground that spew water and steam. Something that isn't just that round bump in the ground spewing steam.
... ok... and mybe some rare POIs/wrecks in the black. really rare ... maybe every few hundred planets or so.

The interdiction UI wasn't even gone, it was just moved to the extreme right (that's where I saw parts of it when I turned my view over my CMDR's shoulder).
I wouldn't know why you'd want to gimp yourself on purpose as the UI is kind of important (especially if the other party is human rather than NPC)... but if you really wanted to CTRL+ALT+G is probably your friend then.

Me too - but it really depends what direction I'm looking at. It's the inconsistency that is the most unpleasant part of it - if it stayed at a rock solid 40, or better 50 even, I could probably live with it (even though I don't think the visuals justify that kind of performance, it's no ray-traced CP2077 after all) as my monitor's g-sync would smooth it out to a large degree.
I know. I even looked to verify that it was just rotated out of view.
It's just a relative score update, hardly vital info, and it blocked a lot of the view. Dealing with just the escape vector was much better for me (thus the desire for it to be optional: no desire to force it on others).
Not really the point I was making. I just feel the outrage and reaction to a game (no matter how poorly performing it) is crazy.Well, technically, if it's unplayable, it's not a game any more
Ninja'ed ?
They need to add a graphics benchmark test with a varied bunch of scripted scenery, then you'd have something to base your mininum/average/maximum FPS on.Going from 20 to 30 is massive.

I liked it when the interdiction UI disappeared as well. I've been interdicted a couple of dozen times this week (NPCs) and got away from all of them no problem, but not having the arcade game bars made it more tense.
Low FPS is annoying enough, but there's nothing worse than inconsistent FPS.
