This just shows that they are putting aside the opinion of who they should please, we have a serious problem...
Odyssey Optimization Needs to be Fixed

Nope. It shows they need to do more. It's been getting better.
"Shouting at the ground won't enable it to hear any better."
As I discussed in one of the texts presented on the forum, it is no use creating a gigantic castle of content. being that the castle is of sand and collapse in the first wave. We see games like Cyberbug 2077 that went this route, focused on content and forgot about everything else.
In the alpha the framerate was pretty bad at settlements, however in some cases it was still better than what we have now. I don't know if it's the lack of culling, or problems with it, but the biggest change between the alpha and release of Odyssey has been the lighting tech. Somehow everything looked a lot more organic back then.
I really, really want to know if there are still some bigger performance improvements scheduled to come over the course of the next updates, or if these smaller changes are all there is left. While I am able to play at 40-50 fps in most cases, its still significantly worse than horizons or any other title I've been playing as of late. Not to mention the absolutely horrific anti-aliasing thats more apparent then ever.

If they can't, better give up ED: Odyssey soon and invest time in something decent and that worked, because you can't create content on something relatively broken that only a few lucky or submissive people to the developers' wills can handle playing.
The time has passed to fix this, it's embarrassing for a company that has developed such immersive and advanced mechanics.
But you need detail. Why? Because a good proportion of the player base are playing a working game. Myself included. So if you just come on here and say "GaMe iS BrOkEn" without providing details of exactly what it is that you are experiencing then you don't help FDev to fix it and you don't garner any sympathy from me either. Tell them what your problems are, SPECIFICALLY. Otherwise your complaint is nothing more than a troll post from someone who might not even be playing the game anymore. Is it framerate? Ok. Is that framerate in space an issue? In ports? On the ground? In settlements? In CZs?Without any details, since basically the game itself is broken and fragmenting with each update that passes. In a little while, we can see that ED: Odyssey is a gigantic castle, but completely made of soft sand that will crumble with the wave
A big mistake, you are totally correct!
I'm not experiencing major FPS issues (not tried it on Update 12 yet) and I'm on a laptop on Ultra settings.
From what I gather driver version matters a lot, hearing quite a few people with poor performance on the latest Nvidia drivers.
I'm on NVidia. I think the issue was with the AMD latest driver.
Although I did have an issue with the most recent NVidia driver that caused lots of CTDs but I worked out what was causing it, switched it off in the game and all has been fine since.
Edit: to clarify, I'm not getting 60fps in settlements but I'm not getting below 30 either.
3060 is ideal for 1080p. Looses about 20% FPS at 1440p and at 4k 50% FPS loss.
So you probably have wrong video card for your monitor resolution if you are having problems with your specs.
Unless yiu are experiencing issues rught after update.

Am I the only one who plays Odyssey without problems? I constantly see people complaining about things that never happen to me. Maybe it's my old system, but I'm surprised that more modern systems seem to have so many problems. I guess, though, that those who have no problems, don't go around telling everyone that Odyssey is perfect for them. That's not a complaint against the OP or anyone, just a more general observation. 
Now, my system is, for want of a better term, 'ancient'. It's an old AMD FX9590, with a Sapphire Pulse Vega 56 GPU. Yes, I only run the game at 1080p 60Hz, but that's all my old monitors will do (I was intending to upgrade just as the mining boom hit and GPU prices skyrocketed), but I still get a constant 60fps in all areas and aspects of the game. I've not measured my fps in VR though, but my GPU does go a bit nuts with the fans when I run in VR (Pimax 8K-X native res, so 2x 4K screens).
If it's newer hardware bringing problems, I'm more inclined to stick with my old kit, and play Elite without any of those problems...

It doesn't seem to matter what your set up is and I think this is a big part of the performance issue facing FD.
No, I'm playing in 4K Ultra - but do have pretty reasonable kit.
I also play with a small group of other players, exclusively in EDO, and we are all having great fun.
It may be just because we are gamers who play other games too, so PCs are updated often to be current, and reasonably powerful.
EDO is much better today, performance wise, than it was at release, it isn't as good as it should be (by quite a margin) but it isn't terrible.
I'm skeptical. A Vega 56 is plenty for 1080p, but there are scenarios, especially in CZs at larger settlements, where the game is almost certainly going to be CPU/memory limited to below 60 fps on an FX-9590. Update 12 has improved things a bit further in this regard, but I'd still be surprised if you couldn't find areas that fell below 60 fps.
The game's performance seems repeatable/predictable between different hardware configurations.
The real difference is in the scenarios being referenced and players' subjective interpretations of performance. Most comparisons are apples and oranges.
