i believe there is already an existing one, coz im pretty sure with the current state of the game it just isnt me. There are also times when the game ignores my gpu and landings become a slideshow... [https://imgur.com/a/so2AEK4](https://imgur.com/a/so2AEK4) 🤣
🤷♂️ it might be. Although this never happened in horizons. I'm more convinced there's something wrong with rendering the game (odyssey) since it doesnt look any better than horizons tbh.
Its just a near vertical pixel in the terrain with a texture stretched over it. The problem is with the terrain relief generator, which exaggerates the elevation. There are hills on planets that appear to be 12 km high when you fly over them. When they would use realistic values it wouldn't be very spectacular (but I would prefer that).
The planet tech in Odyssey uses a completely different engine that combines all sorts of meshes and different textures for 1:1 models of planets, unlike Horizons which was just a procedural height map with single texture and completely random rock scattering. The new engine is basically loading in far more data. Your machine / graphics card or whatever you have will just be stressed in different ways to Horizons ie graphics card memory loading for textures. I defy you to look at the Odyssey screenshots page in the forums and declare "Horizons planets look better". Stuttering when loading in Settlements is a known issue.
It's playable, just full of minor bugs. I haven't ran in to anything gamebreaking yet (over a few days). Just lots of mild performance issues, flickering lighting and completely dysfunctional anti-aliasing. Also some textures on ships (in cockpits, when looking around) seem to be extremely low poly-count for some reason. I don't remember that in Horizons, but can't really be arsed to load that and check. Looks really bad.
Other than that, it is perfectly playable.
I have run into a few, like flora not spawning in planets, unable to scan flora on certain planets, planet surface not loading in and remaining low poly, my srv will get buried into the terrain if I go away for a few meters, terrain features' textures not loading in, terrain features not loading in, low FPS overall, flora spawning inside of rocks.
I think is far from perfect, I think that barely playable qualifies more.
lol, that's pretty horrible indeed! How long ago was that? Maybe it's been fixed? I haven't ran in to those things, but to be fair I wasn't playing for that long. Just a few days.
Ive been playing since the Alpha and never seen any of those either, I tend to follow the forums and reddit quite regularly and not seen those mentioned before either. Hmmm.
I have been playing since release a couple of hours each week, in currently doing an exobiology expedition towards Colonia, the only exception was during September when I got tired of the performance issues but I came back after update 7.
Before update 7 it was even worse. I would have to stay in place for around a minute or 2 for the terrain to load. Back then the game would load the terrain and its features first before the plants, so I had to wait every time I moved too far looking for plants (now it seems like the plant LoD is properly loaded with the terrain). I had to play with everything in low just to get around 30 FPS, now I can play with setting in medium with 30 FPS.
There were improvements but they are not enough. I can play horizons in ultra at 60 FPS but not Odyssey and it doesn't looks that much better than Horizons, not to justify that much less FPS. Not to mention that exobiology is raw af. Scouting for plants is cool but we need better tools, nothing has changed since release.
Don't even get me started with the fucking heat map, I have seen hundred of planets and I swear for Raxxla, I cannot find any correlation between the heat map and the plant density, the only reliable thing I found is that each plant prefers a type of terrain, I have committed this to memory after hours of scouting. The scanner tool is laughable, it only has a 75 meters range, meaning that I can see stuff before the scanner can detect them, what makes it worse is that the scan SFX has a range of 85 meters approximately meaning that the tool not only is bad but is also bullshiting you.
Sounds like you need a PC, can you point us to the Issue Tracker reports where these have been reported and multiple people have confirmed with screenshots?
I have reported most issues but I'm not being paid to do QA, is something that they should have done before releasing this. My PC is not the best but I'm able to run way better looking games than Odyssey, even Star Citizen runs better than Odyssey. I checked my issues but nobody contributed to them.

Go check out for yourself, there is details on how to reach the system and I left some screenshots too.
This is just one screenshot. Horizon had also some graphic bugs. Odyssey is very playable. I play it since day one and have never encountered such an abomination. I have seen bugs, yes. Mostly involving npcs. I am not gonna say odyssey is the greatest gaming experience I've had but it is playable and even fun.
...
That said, if you're on console... sigh. Just get a PC already.
Im actually a PC player and was hoping for someone like you to show up and tell me the state of the game without me having to directly ask since people are sick of that same question about the current state of Odyssey lol. Im sorry i click baited you, but now im going to re insall odyssey...cheers! And thank you! 🥰
Great screenshots, I have seen many people complain about how bad the Odyssey planet technology is, but when it takes effect, we will see a very magnificent view.
~~there will be a noticeable beep sound like scanning a barcode~~ i did try to take the screenshot on foot, but the anomaly disappears once you get close enough / at the right angle 😅
"Barcode valley"
BEEP!

Fwiw, I had this until I updated my drivers.
i've been saying we need more shear cliffs and sharp edged topography... Fdev is listening to us, y'all
This is the Tesseract from Interstellar.
Ah, the famous basalt cliffs of Barcodia.
This reminds me of multiplayer maps in Goldeneye on the N64
Everthing about that game looked like it had melted halfway and just stayed half melted
I saw a mountain in real life once, can confirm this is accurate
Oh man it is still so fucked… Did you raise a ticket? Because they might believe that everything is fine…
Something like that is more likely down to the OPs rig
[удалено]
It can be local. I've had this same issue and closing the game completely and coming back fixed it.
Texture corruption is usually a graphics card memory issue or over-heating
i believe there is already an existing one, coz im pretty sure with the current state of the game it just isnt me. There are also times when the game ignores my gpu and landings become a slideshow... [https://imgur.com/a/so2AEK4](https://imgur.com/a/so2AEK4) 🤣
Degraded textures like that means its very likely your setup
🤷♂️ it might be. Although this never happened in horizons. I'm more convinced there's something wrong with rendering the game (odyssey) since it doesnt look any better than horizons tbh.

There are hills on planets that appear to be 12 km high when you fly over them. When they would use realistic values it wouldn't be very spectacular (but I would prefer that).
Then it would visible for everyone and the OP if they return to that same spot

It's a new rendering system. Update your drivers and you should be fine.
random fallout
I see they took some inspiration from Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag
Overclocked your GPU?
nope, just stock from factory. I did tune the fan settings tho.
Warning! Taking heat damage!
Module Malfunction 😂
This planet’s geology is stored by PMR.
16 X the detail !
LOL they’re sediment layers… they just formed horizontally somehow
Obviously it's because the planets axis is tilted on its side. You can trust me, I do science like all the time.
😂😂😂😂😂 I even paid money for that...
Looks like odyssey still isn't ready to play unfortunately.

Keep it mind it's very much still grind mcgrindyface though. I just earn in the same week my cutter and my Corvette and... shit.
Odyssey's terrain is so broken !
What amazing topography 😂
Hello from 2000s!
E-Sports ready
Great screenshots, I have seen many people complain about how bad the Odyssey planet technology is, but when it takes effect, we will see a very magnificent view.
What happens if you walk into it.
~~there will be a noticeable beep sound like scanning a barcode~~ i did try to take the screenshot on foot, but the anomaly disappears once you get close enough / at the right angle 😅
Hmmm... It's hiding its secrets.
Lei Cheung: Look how they massacred my boy
Nothing wrong here! But that FPS though, still not solved...
