Update 3.3.1

He meant the new bug reporting system which should come soon™.

Ahhhhh, yes, of course! I'm not overly excited about this new bug system based on "popularity", especially since there are like 5 of us active forum members playing on base PS4 these days....

Maybe I'll start campaigning for my bugs to be fixed. Even the "white knights" may consider up-voting my bugs! After all, if it wasn't for the bugs, I myself might be mistaken as a white knight - it's happened before :D

Vote for EBL Today soon™ !

Hopefully they'd have different priority lists by platform, otherwise it kind of defeats the object really.

BTW +1 for the 'Looking For Wing' Function.

(I know it's not a bug but it's criminal that this is missing :p )
 
what's an EBL ?

Elephant Butt Leather, the term I coined to describe the broken shaders on base PS4, since it turns a nice cockpit into, well, elephant leather :p

I could have also called it "Retro PS2 Graphics Mode", or "Terrible Moire Test Pattern" or "Frontier Hates Me" or anything else, but EBL just has a fun ring to it.

Here's a screenshot that demonstrates this effect. Now imagine these patterns flickering and moving all over in a very unsettling fashion, as in-game its much worse due to this moire pattern effect:

This bug first appeared during the 2.4 update patch cycle, made much worse shortly after 3.0 dropped, and has gotten worse still over the 1+ years I've been reporting it. Yeah, I should have called it "Frontier Hates Me", LOL [haha]

I've seen you go on about elephant butt leather for some time, but this is the first time I've actually seen it. Looks kind of like roughly molded clay. That's pretty bad, I imagine it's nigh unbearable with the flickering.

Frontier are just testing shaders for upcoming big game hunting.

Would you like some coffee to your elephant butt leather, CMDR?

:D

And can't you guys stick to one avatar? It's really tedious ;)
 
Sadly, I suspect that the cure for EBL will be to buy a PS5 in late 2020.

Oh well. At least you won't be spending money on anything else Elite-related at that time, will you?[yesnod]

While I hold on to a small shard of hope, I am preparing myself for this likelihood, not because the PS4 isn't capable (I'll have to post some screenshots from my other games to show everyone just how good shaders can look on my console), but because Frontier just doesn't seem to care. But, as you say:
