It's possible for me to do the same by clean-saving my alt account. That is a possibility, should I want to start over again. I'm not giving up my main accounts progress.get yourself a new commander (cheap in the sale), start with a sidewinder and make yourself a new plan. mine is to A grade the winder and give some grief to the griefers.
Heat. Clean the fan & vents.It's over for me too all of a sudden... because my laptop started to get slow and acting up last week, and after trying to fix it, it now is crashing to black screen when I play Elite. Reinstall here I come... :/
Could be, but it started after I did some updates of drivers.Heat. Clean the fan & vents.
I don't know what this climate change is about, the weather is nice today where I'm at.I don't know what bugs you're talkin about, must be ps4 ones.
Although the latter is so modern that too is bothering me. May swap it for a vintage bike I can fettle. I cant fettle my current bike, its too perfect, complex and too electronic.
LOL, nice grade school insult. Funny how I'm enjoying amazing graphic fidelity and performance in my other games on my PS4. Not to mention my intro to the OP - "Let's put aside bugs and shadows and elephant butt leather for a moment and focus just on the game itself. I fired up Elite Dangerous after a few months on hiatus, did some things, and then exited with the thought, 'I think I really am done with the game...' It just doesn't 'scratch the itch' like it used to."I guess the lesson here is,if graphical fidelity and performance are your bag don’t pick the least capable hardware.
I sit at work on compooters all day. I have developed a boredom for them so deep that I find myself unable to bother with mine. Its my last PC probably. I'll stick with my macbook only from this point onwards, just for banking and all those other things you must have a compooter for thesedays. I just find more fullfilment from a novel, or riding my bike. Although the latter is so modern that too is bothering me. May swap it for a vintage bike I can fettle.

The whole social media drama passed me by too, its like a modern CB radio to me. I dont do any of it. Ye 10-4 and all that.
Im still on an old iphone 6 and wont bother with that either. Ive still got a 3310 in drawer.
I feel like Im rejecting modernity and looking nostalgicly back to a more analogue existence where things were probably not as rosey as I imagine them to have been, but it is still an attraction. I feel saturated with things of little or no substance in the digital world. Its shallow, trite and a distraction. No, Im not going all Amish. Just stepping back.
A recent holiday with no connectivity on sea side made up my mind. I took the time to look and smell and listen and found I really enjoyed it. It was a release.
Ive lived through the birth of the internet, top loading cassette players and now a digital superficial world. I reject it all.
<No> PC games with a novel, iphone for a written letter. I enjoy writing a letter. I wrote to my friend recently, he texted me back.
It is a strange old world we find ourselves in.
You know RDR2 took a pretty hefty graphical downgrade shortly after launch due to an update don’t you?LOL, nice grade school insult.

So no, I'm not going to buy a gaming PC just so I can have decent shadows and godrays, something that Red Dead Redemption 2 and dozens of other games manage to pull off using my 'least capable hardware'.
RDR2 took a hit to ambient occlusion, but a recent update fixed that. Digital Foundry did a test and determined AO is actually better now than it was at release. However, I do think RDR2 may have taken a hit in texture quality and some other details seen close up. There seems to be ongoing debate about this. I actually uninstalled the update (I own the disk) and am playing version 1.00, just in case. One thing is for sure, I would not call it a hefty graphical downgrade. I've got screenshots from both 1.00 and whatever the latest version is, and I'm having a tough time seeing the difference. My gut says it looks better running 1.00, but any downgrade is not the disco shadow hell / elephant butt leather of ED.You know RDR2 took a pretty hefty graphical downgrade shortly after launch due to an update don’t you?
See this I totally disagree with. It's the exact same gaming powerhouse it has always been. If anything, most games get better on consoles over time, not worse, as developers learn how to maximize the hardware. My FLOPs, MIPS, memory bandwidth, etc. is the same now that it was when I bought my PS4. Therefore there is no reason for the same game to look worse over time.All I’m saying is the base PS4 isn’t exactly the gaming powerhouse it once was.
Definitely this. I so wanted Elite 4 to be an advancement on First Encounters, with a flight model that needed to be learned and mastered, and that coupled with the idea of being able to land on even more detailed planet surfaces and explore, image, survey, sample and map...Hoping for more survival/sim elements and less arcade shooter ones be implemented myself, but I might well be out of luck in that regard. Frontier seem intent on changing the trajectory for the type of game development they seem to have had in the past. At least that's the way it comes across to me.

And then they release it and it's an arcade dogfighting game with no planetary landings.
