Thanks mate, I contributed under it too.
Odyssey still very dark
- Thread starter Darkman Returns
- Start date
As have I, thanks from me as well.
Cheers! Added my bit. I can live with bugs at launch of new content and am generally patient with such and if I find things don't work, go do something else. But this is practically unplayable; its not like I can go do something else fun in-game while I wait for [issue with X] to be resolved. The bug here is the entire presentation. The issues raised about this during alpha haven't been addressed whatsoever.
I've stuck my $0.02 in there too.
Aside from the overall blackness of space I noticed it most on the HUD, which is more muted, and on the outfit customisations for the default flight suit. The latter is particularly galling as I paid good money (pre-Arx) for both the Scoundrel and Turncoat packs just to get the right combination of torso and arms for an orange jacket. It's closer to red now, and the blue pants look like black biking leathers.
I was aware of this in the alpha but didn't bother reporting it after I saw so many other reports and conversations on the subject. When it became clear that FD intended to fix a bunch of stuff at release rather than wasting time pushing out a series of late-stage alpha patches, I figured this one would be a no-brainer.
In VR the exact opposite is true. The contrasts are stupidly harsh and ANYTHING that is well-lit is almost completely washed out. Don't EVEN go by an ice planet. The visuals in Odyssey while in VR make the game disgusting and unplayable. In addition to all the VR aspects that are broken.

That's what I see in VR. In Horizons I love flying into my tourist station....in Odyssey everything is washed out to the point of being painful.
FDev claim they fixed this issue in the Patch Notes. Hopefully they'll quickly realise that the fix didn't make it into release and can add it in the next patch.
Ah is that why my character suddenly looks black? xD
My slider is all the way to the left and while I like it dark in space, with nebulas barely visible, It's still too bright in stations, both where the landing pads are an at the concourse. Looks strangely washed out to me.
BTW Duck, how much did this bork your SuperAmazingAwesome graphics mod?Don't look at me - I'm not touching this with a 10 foot pole
I hope to continue using it for the cockpit smudge removal. o7
Works great in Horizons. No idea what happens in Odyssey.
I know it works great in Horizons you Old Duck.
My question was if you tried it in Odyssey yet.
Pleasant, Horizons space with warm UI and pleasant ship interior.

Awful, Odyssey space barely visible stars, and ugly ship blob lights.

Glorious, readable Horizons UI.

How TF is this meant to be a usable UI in Oydssey? Note the ship name underneath ORCA. Oh, you can't see it? Yeah.

I just wanted to reassure you that Frontier didn't break Horizons by mucking with shaders.I know it works great in Horizons you Old Duck.

As for Odyssey, I'll try it when it goes on sale. Ironically I'd love to get my hands on Odyssey, knowing it's a broken mess, just to "experiment with". Perhaps I could find shader(s) causing some of the performance hits, tweak the lighting, etc. But I'm not paying $40 to tinker with shaders, LOL.
