I'll see you and raise you a Dame Edna... it can be Barry Humphries Day.

Wishing a very good morning to all fine fellow followers of the holy words.

I'm happy to report that coffee* #1 is both wet and warm, so far, good and welcome (and the heating's been put back on!).

* from the book of 'Elite 84 - His Travails in the [Offline] Wilderness':

'...and the Lord Brebus saw that the brew was dark and rich, and good, and,
verily did he spraketh that upon it's inbibing the holy rituals should commence,
and thence the Lord and fallen Angel Bell did commence hammering.
And did they by their efforts manage such a feat, as crammeth they did,
so very much into only thirty and two of their Earthy Kilo-Bytes...'

Hullabalooyuh brothers!

Hullabalooyuh!

Hulla-baloo-yuuuh!!!
 
So Update 10. the optimization list doesn't appear to be too excited about anything getting optimized ...so not sure if that bodes well for consoles.

My own testing in 1080p Ultra land shows a 33% lower performance difference for the same quality settings as horizons in empty space. This is certainly better than the 50% difference before update 10.

However, i'm noticing micro-stutters in ship movement in odyssey update 10 that horizons does not have at all. Even at framerates well above 150fps. In odyssey and horizons there are hits to the framerate whenever you move but odyssey seems to be a bit more drastic of a framerate drop and erratic.. It makes what should be a smooth rotation about your axis a bit jerky. Horizons, the motion is smooth as butter the entire time despite the drop in framerate during movement.

Haven't had time to look at vr or surface / roid performance yet, will have to check out how vr feels after work.
 


reducing the overhead of odyssey to roughly 33% of horizons might be close enough to bring enough players over to the "good enough" side of odyssey that performance issues no longer maintain a majority of what players are mostly providing negative feedback for - and so could mark a drastic drop in negative feedback in general.

Haven't checked if foot performance saw the same kind of change though. If the general state of the game moves back to complaining about mechanics rather than technical issues, that would mark a milestone for odyssey and the game being back on track to where it should be.
