we got a nice dev update though so not all bad newsYeah. Weirdness everywhere utterly unrelated (logically) to Operations. New stations orbiting several ls from the body they were built at, FCs arriving tens of thousands of ls from the arrival star (in systems with the furthest body a mere 2,000 ls from the star), random black screens on exiting/entering SRV/Nomad, low frame rates and stutter in settings that never had it before, blinding white light out of the blue in settlements sometimes etc. etc.
Definitely the "Oops Update".
And, of course, absolute radio silence from Frontier regarding fixes/updates/what they're aware of and working on, but that's pretty much SOP at this point.
I give up on Elite until it's fixed.

I've just hit a new bug where I can't colonise an unclaimed system. The Primary Port is orbiting a Ringed Gas Giant, but I get a 'System Claim Unsuccessful' message when I try an Asteroid Base. On a 2nd Attempt the option for the Asteroid base disappears, but none of the other options work now either. Has this happened to anyone else?
Same here, also see performance degradation, around 10 FPS lower than usual, plus stuttering. Seems like they've sync'ed some network function with the main loop. I've just logged in to visit on-foot engineers to install shotgun mods to prepare for the time Oops might be out of beta, since everything else I usually do is currently broken, too. Even that simple traveling gave me a miserable experience. I guess you are right, it is time to stop playing and wait until they've got their stuff together again.
I hear similar things from my squadron. Colonization is in a worse state than Operations right now.
I definetly can confirm THAT!
It's so annoying. I need this system to get around another Bug that Oops has introduced.
I actually had the blinding white light in one of the Operations matches, that was really weird. At the time I thought it must have just been me, like a PC memory issue or something but obviously not.Yeah. Weirdness everywhere utterly unrelated (logically) to Operations.

I had that to, was during a biohazard op.
Same, Biohazard. I also noticed in mine all the security AI were different, they had those uniforms that look like they're wearing baseball outfits and bicycle helmets (don't know how else to describe them) rather than the usual spaceman outfits. Don't know if that had something to do with it or not though.
Frontier's recommended CPU is from 2018, they really should update that if it is actually the players fault for not buying a state of the art chip to bruteforce each new update they release.
Me trying to play Horizons on an integrated graphics laptop was my fault (and that still worked, if you gave it half an hour to boot!).
Odyssey's engine being so broken that these specs aren't enough is because of Odyssey.

I had docking permission issues at Jaques but that seems to be because it was very busy.
I did get some weird extreme slowdown semi-lockup issues too at one point in PG, felt like the server hamsters had taken a break. That made any interaction essentially impossible.
I eventually managed to drop out and get back in in Solo and that seemed to work better, with the plus side of reduced docking permission issue problems.
So..
Dunno.
Does feel like they could do with a bunch of additional tweaks and a fresh team of hamsters.

I have not experienced anything like that.
And given that literally thousands and thousands of players are participating in the CG, they aren't either.
Isn't that strange?
oooh, I had that symptoms intermittently - but I was running 2 instances of ED on my laptop, one in HD one in 4K....
This whole update has been a massive unmitigated disaster of epic proportions. Even something as simple as the lighting update has been completely broken. Carriers and new stations landing 30k Ls away from their target orbit is unacceptable.
The extremely low merc coin rewards per mission are a grave insult, they're only 1/10th of what they should be. Absolutely everything about this update is a huge affront.
It is completely unacceptable!

I’m hearing that’s happening to systems where the primary star has two asteroid belts orbiting it. No idea why that would matter, but who knows right now…
Yep, there are 2, how about that.
On the other hand you dissing people having problems that obviously, by the records of many, are in the game, is a norm now, isnt it?
Feels good, or? Noone can have different experience unless you personaly have experienced it?
