to bad tose most other poeple dont actualyl have edo or show the resoults lol. menwile we ahve this guy showing the resoults.. its been proven time and time again the most critical of edo dont have it or cant aford it or have ancient pcs with dual cores an gt 8800s
a gtx 1060 is 6 years old... what do you mean modern?? lol
Having personally played EDO on five different rigs with wildly different levels of components, in my experience EDO's performance isnt nearly as erratic as people make it out to be. People shoddily reporting FPS based on 'how it feels'? Sure. People not mentioning their FPS and simply disagreeing on whether 45 is amazing or the worst ever? People forgetting to report resolution and up/downsampling? Reporting reporting their amazeballs 3090 and not their mid-range CPU? Sure. But by and large performance seems, while decidedly sub-par, fairly consistent from my experience and fairly reliable sources.
Yep, FPS has been generally better for me as well. Downside is it seems to have come with more stuttering. But I do play with an ancient rig so I put up with a lot anyway.
Is that right? I've said before, a bonus I get from my old potato is that when fps gets around 31, it seems smooth enough for me, since a lot of the time, even other games run around that or less. I actually dont even know what it's like to normally have fps in triple digits but I'd guess 31 fps may not seem that great to those who do. Good to know!
But, overall, there's been an improvement.
it did look nicer...
Since when is Elite's core community bad? Elite's community is very good. Elite is a British thing and Europe has always had a PC thing going on. Elite also started out on the PC, so if you're going to come across some PC swagger stuff, you're as like to come across it here as anywhere. I doubt any offense was meant. It's the internet, it's not filled with George Clooney.
I thought previously that these PC aspects meant that Elite's playerbase would be ahead of the PC curve. It seems though that there are as many playing Elite that this does not apply to.

No it didn't.
BBC Micro wasn't it? Or am I missing one?
Tomato tomato.
Some used the BBC Micro as a personal computer, some used it as underwear. It was still controlled with a keyboard and did more than just play videogames.

You are correct - BBC on launch.
Pics or it didn't happen.
Some used a DEC

I agree: there is a (very) big improvement in perf when on foot. I don't see drops anymore (haven't done any fighting though).Just wanted to throw a huge "SHOUT OUT" to FDEV for update 12. The frame rates have improved so much that I actually had to slow down and practice docking at a star port just now to get used to the new 'fluidity' of motion that comes with doubling my frame rate overnight. LOL
I'm running 3 different computers with Odyssey. They're all invidia but they are each distinctly different in performance capability. ALL 3 have experienced HUGE performance and visual improvements since last week and I couldn't be happier. Thanks SO MUCH for all your hard work. For a non-subscription game, it truly amazes me how much effort goes in to this game and community.

I agree, nothing annoyed me more in performance discussions than when people say "runs fine for me!" but never once actually directly quote the framerates they actually are getting. Like what is "fine" for someone? Is it 24fps? Is it 60? 120? "Smooth" isn't even a really measurable metric either, so we have no way of knowing what someone means when they say it. Things you CAN measure are fps, 1% Lows, average frametimes, etc. Not saying everyone should have all of those numbers, but like even just an FPS count would be nice.
And I mean I myself used to play at 1440p in Horizons at max settings and get minimum of 95fps at the worst of times, with it being over 100 most of the time. In Odyssey I had to go down to 1080p, turn all my settings to their lowest, and use FSR (meaning the game is actually rendering at even less than 1080p internally), and even then I'd still see massive stuttering and drawn-out drops below 40fps in settlements. And across 12 different Updates I've seen maybe a marginal improvement, but nothing that I would go out of my way to be publicly praising the devs for.
At the end of the day, we have people who are frequently insisting the game "runs great now" while others who have exceptional hardware are citing a continual poor experience.
I don't think that people that have hardware that could be called exceptional are having a poor experience. They might be if they are running the game at 4K they can't even really see anyway.
I think some of the loudest complainers are people with life-savings GPU and a gimpy everything else.

Again, what basis do you have to assume that? Why is your default assumption just "clearly they are wrong and their hardware is bad?" I'm continually shocked that so much of this community seems to be against the game getting proper optimization; because if it did, EVERYONE benefits.
