    Known Workarounds

    • For Lifetime Expansion Pass owners on Steam, Odyssey will show up in your launcher. "Install" will be greyed out, simply select Odyssey and press the enter key to begin installing, or run EDLaunch.exe outside of Steam.
    • Nvidia GeForce: installing the latest drivers, v466.47 (UK version here) helps boost performance for some CMDRs. (thanks /u/Scholander)
    • AMD Radeon: installing the latest drivers, v21.5.2 (direct link), helps boost performance for some CMDRs. (thanks /u/Dannyl_Tellen)
    • Resetting the game's graphics configuration files helps boost performance for some CMDRs. Backup then delete all files in this folder, which will reset all settings files to defaults: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics (thanks /u/Pyran)

    Not looking good for Frontier and i honestly understand everyones frustration with the Bad Performance which overshadows a lot of other problem that the DLC has.

    For anyone with awful FPS after getting Odyssey: here's how I fixed it

    Posted: 19 May 2021 11:40 PM PDT

    (This may have been buried in the patch notes, I don't know. There was a LOT in the patch notes. :) )

    When I fired up Odyssey for the first time and started the on-foot tutorial, I noticed that my FPS was garbage. 19, choppy as hell. This shouldn't be the case, given my specs (i7-8700, 16gb, GeForce RTX 2070). I dropped most of my settings from Ultra to High and got to the exalted levels of... 24 FPS.

    So I went to my config folder and just deleted all of my graphics settings. Started up the game, changed the preset quality level to high, cranked up the mediums to high again and now on-foot FPS shot up to 61.

    For my system that's probably not the best, but it's acceptable, and at that point it's explainable by app performance that's good but not obsessively optimized. In short, I'm ok with that.

    So if you run into this problem, trash your graphics file. Just delete (or better yet, back up just in case) everything here:

    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics

    (Uh, obviously that's the Windows locations. Couldn't tell you on other OS's.)

    It didn't take long to get the settings back to where I was happy, and I can't really tell the difference between my old settings and new ones when I'm not on foot. So I consider that a win.

    Hope this helps someone!

    Update: Thanks to /u/BalooUriza for a better generic path to use than the one specific to my system.

    Commanders! Did you play alpha of #EliteDangerous #Odyssey? Then you should know that you have around 46GB of trash folder sitting in your game directory and you should remove it manually if you need that space back! Just saying! 07!

    Odyssey Horizons Comparison Thread

    Posted: 20 May 2021 11:01 AM PDT

    Hello everyone,

    I'm starting this thread in the hopes of creating a collective comparison thread where we show the differences between Horizons and Odyssey, both good and bad.

    I'll kick it off with some unfortunate examples that show the extreme downgrade in terrain quality. I am very very very sad to see the incredible Horizons terrain go and hope it's not too late to keep them.

    Sommerfeld Enterprise in Ross 671

    ![img](ynkj69jjeb071 " Farseer Inc in Deciat (engineer base, hand crafted in the new planet system to look the same - look at that horrible blobby lack of sharp edges) It's almost as if a \"fan\" remade the base in Unity. ")

    Lighting system much darker and emmisive decals not working very well

    Lack of sharp edges

    Very simple cracks and creases you would find in Horizons terrain just doesn't exist anymore in the new system. It's all smoothed over like a really old game.

    Request for Devs - Please let us walk in the Ships Storage area!

    Posted: 19 May 2021 10:54 PM PDT

    I think the station store owners are ripping us off... One TON of guns costs way less than one rifle in the store.

    God Damned Commanders, They Got No Respect! No Respect!

    Posted: 20 May 2021 12:41 PM PDT

    Something must have gone wrong between the alpha and release... LOD got nerfed hard and the lighting seems to be completely broken, rock scattering took a hit too.

    Posted: 20 May 2021 11:27 AM PDT

    smh...

    Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Hotfix 1

    Uuuuhhhhh...

    Posted: 20 May 2021 01:11 PM PDT

    Just thinking... Did someone try to walk around the station and accidentally fly out of space?

    Odyssey makes exploration significantly more complex, rich and rewarding.

    Posted: 20 May 2021 05:11 AM PDT

    I was continuing my exploration, and realized that I now had a reason to scan every planet in every system. Since I'm trying to rank up in exobiology, Any planet that has a tenuous atmosphere is suddenly much more rewarding to take a look at. No longer is exploration just a 'jump, scan for valuable planets, jump, repeat" until you get to your destination. Now there are so many things to stop and see along the way with an actual in-game reward other than beauty (though that was my main draw to the void).

    Also, It looks like they made the graphics out in the black so much better. stars are now much more realistic looking close up and far away. planets are more complex, and nebulae are so much more beautiful in how they interact with the foreground/background. I have to say, I didn't expect to be as impacted as I already am by the new expansion. They've really made a significant impact on us explorers for the better. It's incredible.

    Edit: yes, I know the bugs are there and the UI needs work. I know the the planet generation tech still needs to be fixed to be how they meant it (and had in the alpha for the most part) as well as fixes and improvements to structure and planetary poi generation. I'm specifically referring to the new gameplay loops and the beauty of how space is being rendered here, I'm not saying those other things don't matter.
