Greetings Commanders,
First of all, we’d like to thank all of you for supporting us throughout Odyssey’s development and at launch. For those of you who have access to the expansion and are able to play without issues, we hope you’re enjoying yourselves!
That said, we are aware of some commonly reported issues and will take this opportunity to address them. In this post, we’d like to specifically discuss optimisation and UI.
Optimisation and Performance
We’re aware that performance in Odyssey is varied according to PC builds and other factors. While many players are enjoying the game at the intended standard, unfortunately some are not.
If you are experiencing performance issues, here’s how to report them and include some especially useful information. Please send us as much information as possible to [email protected] using the template below. To report any other issues, please go via the Issue Tracker as normal.
Please provide as much information as you can from a DXDiag report (see link for help)
Where were you in-game, and what were you doing? (Solo/Open, in Wing/group or not etc.)
Are you running Odyssey in borderless/fullscreen/windowed?
Are you running Odyssey in VR?
Do you have any other apps running at the same time?
Are you running any third-party shader suites?
In addition to the above, please send us your graphics configs. To do this:
1. Navigate to this file location: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Graphics
2. Copy all folder contents to a ZIP file and attach it to your submission
We’d like to thank you in advance for submitting this information. Your reports will be invaluable in assisting our team and expediting performance fixes.
UI Feedback
We’re also keenly aware of feedback on several aspects of the updated User Interface in Odyssey. The comments on this topic have been followed closely since the beginning of the alpha phase and your feedback shared in our Alpha feedback forum has been gathered and collected. Your concerns over the ease-of-use and accessibility of these systems are being heard and passed to the development team.
While fundamental issues such as connection and performance remain a priority, we’d like to build a clear understanding of issues surrounding features such as UI to lay the groundwork for in-game improvements.
In this thread, we are looking specifically for feedback on the Galaxy and System Map UI. We have noted feedback on other UI elements, but would like to start with these in particular.
If you have feedback on the Galaxy and System Map in Odyssey, please leave it below in a reply using the following format:
Overall thoughts – please keep this brief (one or two sentences)
Specific Issues – clear and concise (bullet points are ideal)
Suggested Fixes for the Issues – clear and concise, directly linked to the issues
Please keep all replies to this post in the format above. Any discussion that is off topic or replying to other posts may be removed to keep the thread as useful as possible.
Thank You
Odyssey represents a huge change to Elite Dangerous at multiple levels. All of the teams across Frontier, are working hard to deliver an experience that meets a standard the community deserves.
On that note, thank you again for your support and patience. As soon as we have any more information regarding the points above, we’ll make sure to share it with you.
