Pixelated Planets

Hi,

after giving Odyssey a second chance a few weeks back, I decided to give it a third chance today.

With the latest patches performance is starting to become acceptable for me, however all planets look really... bad.

I hope you can see in the screenshot, but all planets have sort of a "pixelated" look for the textures.
In VR this looks especially bad.
I tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, deleting the files in AppData/Roaming and installing the current drivers.

Is there something else I can do, or is this working as intended?

My PC:

Ryzen 5 5600X
16GB ram
RTX 3080

The screenshot was taken in the Ultra preset.

Thanks in advance

Ive noticed this in Horizons too
sometimes the textures will pop as you get closer to the planet surface

hopefully this will be one of the "fixes" that we get when BETA ends when EDO finnaly drops on consoles

in the mean time you could try renaming GpuWorkTable.xml found in your ED:O folder to something like GpuWorkTable.old
this file wont get over written if you reinstall ED to the same location.. iirc it usually gets appended\updated unless you delete\remove it
but not sure that does much because ive seen invisible planets.. or is that not seen.. confusing I know but ive landed on planets with no surface just artefacts

all the biggest graphics updates are expected to arrive in time for console launch which sucks ⚽
as ive not been able to play ED:O since the game hit BETA cough live cough due to :poop: optimisation

yes, some of us have been LEP since before launch and many other since the game launched on kickstarter. we are all up the same :poop: creek with out a paddle untill they optimise the game for consoles.. some people with UBER rigs might not be suffering as bad

Fdev release policy has been release it and fix it later... and imho this was even worse with ED:O which went straight from Alpha to PC live without fixing any major performance issues which DB clearly knew about as he released a grovelling message to the community after launch

Do we know when that will be?
Really hope that the planets stop looking like QR codes..

Development Update 2 - July

Greetings Commanders, With the end of July closing in on us faster than a getaway Mamba with illegal cargo, we wanted to share our second monthly developer update with you now. As mentioned in David Braben’s recent post, we have adjusted our planning to retain our development focus on the PC...

Elsewhere I have seen it said that u/d 6 drops this week sometime.

I am not brimming with confidence that planetary tech will need to be dumbed down to actually fit on consoles
then optimized afterwards for its release
so what will pc users be left with is a console game that wanted to be a pc game but wasn't allowed too
just have to wait and see what happens
as according to the devs odyssey pc release was a resounding success...…..(delusional)

which obviously does not translate correctly to this dog so nothing they say really does anymore...……………………….

And not only dumbed down in order to run on consoles, but dumbed down and gimped to such an extent that it runs on the last gen. PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Frankly, the best thing for FDev to do right now would be to just ditch console development altogether and concentrate all their efforts into the PC game.
