Keep Horizons as a separate launcher from Odyssey - like Horizons use to be with non-Horizons

For those who opted out of due to playing in VR, having lower spec systems, canyon runner etc., anyone negatively affected by additions of the Odyssey expansion.

Would it be possible to keep the Horizons launcher as a separate entity from ED:O? Similar to how ED was a separate entity from ED:H and was until only recently?
It is clear the two can work together separately because they are working separately.

Thanks!

As it stands, I subscribe to this. Not that Odyssey is bad, quite the contrary IMHO, but I only got a CV1 powered by an overclocked GTX1070 and will not have the funds to buy something more decent in times of GPU cards shortage and random(2..4) RLP (and even if I had, my wife would still stand in the way), and I love the game too much to quit with it.

I think it is not possible.
Or you will have to agree to not have any more updates. EDH will be abandoned in other words.
And not possible to be in same instance of Odyssey also, for the background and network I mean.

It would be sad to lose the Horizons planets completely, even though I do believe that the Odyssey planets will be better once all the issues are sorted. Even so, I'll still miss not being able to drive on the real Pomeche again. :)

Yes it's sad we lose stuff we really enjoy, I am keeping my eye out for a new planet for the canyon racers, I spotted a place with some nice canyons and huge cliff the other day but it was only on a small area of the planet, posted a screeny of it in the screenshot thread.

  • For the time being, please let us keep Horizon as it is - at least that's playable in VR at the momen.

Edit: As a sidenote: And please don't move any tech over to Horizon, thanks, the menus are horrible in VR too

Yes. For the time being. At least until:
  • ED's VR is brought back in line to how it was sold to myself and that includes Horizons as DB:OBE demonstrated SRV in VR in one of his demos before Horizons was released
  • Planets have fun canyons
  • Performance is back in line

It's seems raw how people with not interested in the expansion might be forced to be impacted by the expansion.

That said, am hoping it will all be sorted over time.

The more I read the forums the less I want Horizon's planets to switch to the new tech. I can't believe I was excited by them! I'm such a sucker for the old hype-train!

Planet based activities are why I play ED. I enjoy the other elements too, but they are just a distraction.

Dreading losing my interesting planets!

You do know that they are still available separately in your launcher?

However, I echo the idea that Horizons would be great without the awful impact of introducing Oddity features - so count me in with the vote to keep a separate Horizons branch, sadly I don't think it will happen but no harm in asking.

Hey dude

That is exactly what I am worried about, when they 'merge' the tech and we loose the interesting planets so the planets are 1st person ready etc, all the stuff required for the 1st person expansion.

Would love a separate launcher allowing us to keep Horizons as is now.
