Delays are less concern than totally broken releases.
Oddity (paid for) release was and still is a catastrophic event for all the Commanders out in the black.

All of them?
Wow! I'll try to remember that when I manage to stop having fun in this "catastrophe"!
Perhaps I'm the eternal optimist: I was hoping the interior would be a little more than just a copy/paste - although I'll admit to not having looked.
Although we are getting a hyperjump visual aren't we?
I'll hazard a guess that the response will be along the lines of "copy / pasted from the ship jump"...
When sombeody has an intense 'dislike' of a game expansion, don't expect a measured response
I wish those who have an intennse dislike would just move on or ignore the expac instead of trying to inject salt into the community.When sombeody has an intense 'dislike' of a game expansion, don't expect a measured response
I like to keep my fingers crossed for nice surprises and minimum buggage
One quick question,I'll hazard a guess that the response will be along the lines of "copy / pasted from the ship jump"...

how is the performance for you?
If I may jump in - very good indeed.
60 FPS everywhere, even in ground High CZ with fires...
I can play EDO in VR on my Valve index too with a consistent 90 FPS.
All with mostly Ultra settings and no AMD 'helpers' switched in. (and in 4K resolution)
But, with my hardware, if the expansion was better optimised, I'd be expecting around 50 - 100% better performance, but the expansion has issues still, so I don't have that luxury.
I'm unable to comment in any meaningful way as to how the performance of the expansion has improved or not since the end of November, hardware changes has removed the frame of reference I used to use.
Thanks for asking...
My experience is: Perfectly acceptable, except when it isn't.
Unlike the early days of odyssey, when it would chug at a consistently low framerate in places, it feels smooth. I don't use the counter, so I don't know the exact framerate, but my subjective experience is good enough.
Except sometimes, early on in any given instance, the framerate doesn't just drop, it stops, completely. As in, seconds per frame. It doesn't last long before returning to normal, but it's pretty unpleasant and Jarring.
My guess is it,s caused by assets loading in, despite ED:O being the only game on my PCIe NMVE drive. I can't be 100% certain it isn't partially down to my hardware though. I'm starting to suspect that Odyssey's well known issues have lead me to overlook things I might actually be able to fix.

Alpha/Beta releases are costly. And i dont think they afford this for a non-subscription / non-p2w game.
Much cheaper to release and fix what's broken
I'm jealous. I can't even stay above 30 FPS when exiting super cruise at a station. I'd think due to culling their should be no real difference to Horizons' performance at this point. I assume it's because of some fundamental changes to the render pipeline.
But obviously I've never seen the code, which leaves me with assumptions.

Oops, caveat time.
Settlement fires do have a very noticeable frame rate hit. I would have thought my rig could manage it but... not as well as I'd hoped.

LOL! Sorry CMDR but we will be testing/playing update 11 as soon as each and everone of us has it installed anyway, as such it will get its alpha and beta test all rolled into one, then any issues will hit the forum rapidly.
When I had the 2080 Super, I could 'lose' 20+ FPS in some settlements (not only those with fire, the extraction sites could drop me from 60 to 9 or less, cycling every 20 seconds or so!), further optimisation was introduced at around the same time as my buying the 6900XT (and 5900X) and those issues no longer exist - but I'm tempted to believe the differences were in optimisation, not solely due to a massive hardware bump.
Odyssey has been a glorified beta since release
Mine gets 75+ fps on 1440p max at burning settlements
Perhaps I'm pushing it by running at 3840 x 2160 with all graphics options maxed
Yup that is a likely culprit.Perhaps I'm pushing it by running at 3840 x 2160 with all graphics options maxed
You can get away with reducing a few settings without a noticeable impact to visual quality, bloom and shadow spring to mind. The GeForce Experience game optimisation got mine pretty bang on but I found I could go to ultra + for terrain detail and increase draw distance without much of a hit.Perhaps I'm pushing it by running at 3840 x 2160 with all graphics options maxed
Sounds suspicious if it's that jarring, culling doesn't mean stuff is removed from memory so don't think it would be a disk thing. Might be worth trying that Windows 10 "hardware accelerated GPU scheduling" on if its not already.
