Rebecca HailI really, really, really don't want to be in charge of that netcode. Oh boy, this is going to be a wild ride for a couple of weeks after launch.


Weeks? Make it months Someone in Frontier is up for a rough summer.

I haven't canceled my pre-order not because I plan to play the mess but because I just want to see how bad it will be.

Why do you bother playing it at all, if you think it's that bad?

i dont think the game itself will be bad i cant wait to walk on planets. but everyone suspects that the servers and stuff will be chaotic and disfunctional.

They have ring fenced the Horizons game, so no matter how bad things get with Odyssey you can always switch to Horizons for a relatively safe gaming experience.

The real fun will be when the console release happens at which point the lines become a lot more blured and you could find yourself unable to play anything on a bad day.

My guess will be that PC Odyssey and Console Odyssey might look a little different, or will only be supported on the latest consoles.

I don't really see anything in that post that is really surprising, with one exception:

After console release Horizons and Odyssey players might (they're looking into it true story) STILL NOT be able to instance together on No Atmosphere Worlds.

Considering by that time bother H and OD players would be sharing the same Planet terrain etc this strongly suggests the issue is they are worried there might be workarounds to obtain OD loot via H. A possibility that comes to mind is say pedestrian only accessible lootboxes that an OD player could open and discard the items allowing for H SRV player to pick it up or some such bs.

Regardless of the reason, the POSSIBILITY of Horizon players SRV gameplay being separated from OD players is complete BS.

So now they release the specs for release and still not the same as horizons. Fuck FDev man.

No, the issue is age rating, as explained in the * admonition: Odyssey has a higher age rating than Horizons (presumably because you can shoot at humans instead of only ships), so there are obvious issues with showing on-foot Odyssey players to Horizons players in their ships.

i do feel like people are getting annoyed over nothing.
-edit:
annoyed is too weak. people are getting needlessly angry

Have the FDevs released the specification requirements needed to run Odyssey?

Tbh, I doubt that they can optimize it enough to get it down Horizons requirements.

I'll let you know how my machine performs.

Good tool for comparing CPUs.

My MSI Gaming X GeForce GTX 1050Ti gpu is close. We'll see once EOD opens.

I'll say this, I won't be buying a new machine just to play EOD.
