Hotfix: Fixes a few critical issues.
Patch: Fixes a bunch of issues, critical or otherwise.

Fix for ARX and more skins for sale.....Game will come later
No program, just vanilla Odyssey. I've read people saying it's dark, but for whatever reason that's not something I've come across. Maybe adjust the gamma slider in game if you haven't already done so...?
Dev's mostly deploy hot fixes for what are considered "showstoppers", that is it prevents people playing or makes playing extremely difficult. Server patches for back end fixes are more common because they don't need to push new data out to players, they did that with the FC fix. Patches usually include fixes for many minor as well as major problems that couldn't be done as a hot fix, so I expect quite a few changes here, can't wait!
I don't think they'll magically fix everything within a week, so maybe don't expect too much?
I also rather have them take their time and do it thoroughly.
Looking forward the to the patching today.
Patch also possibly modifies things, like makes a UI change, as opposed to just fixing a bit of UI that was bugged.Hotfix: Fixes a few critical issues.

I don't expect a magical fix, but I think there are quite a number of things the patch will address, a lot of these will be legs mission related so they won't affect me at all, in fact I expect very little in this patch to make any difference to my game play, maybe a few graphical fixes but apart from that nothing. I just hope they fix a lot of the little stuff that people are complaining about, not being able to turn in legs missions, getting stuck at terminals. They won't affect me but I will be happy if a lot of other players are helped out by the patch.
I'm in exactly the same boat actually.
Do you have a HDR display?
I think expecting any performance fixes in this patch is being way too optimistic.
Not only did their head Graphics Engineer say that they were having tons of difficulty implementing basic culling, Braben himself doesn't believe that the performance we are getting is abnormal.

Hotfix fixes problems introduced by the latest patch. A patch introduces new problems so a hotfix is needed.
The circle of life.
Today's patch patchnotes : https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/elite-dangerous-odyssey-update-1.578613/
The game does not support HDR. It's nothing to do with that kind of HDR. HDR lighting is some kind of game techno-babble which isn't the same as High Dynamic Range on TVs or monitors. It will simply be disabled (High Dynamic Range) and ALL games including Horizons would looks bland and washed out if you forced High Dynamic Range on.
