I think the changes would actually be an improvement IF AA actually was working properly, but that IF is doing a lot of work there.

Still many bugs to squish but I am getting slightly better fps and texture loading is much smoother for me.

SakashiroCouldn't get into the game yet, but I made it into the main menu (yay!) and found that they added a horrible sharpen filter to the image. For comparison (please view in fullscreen):

As if the jaggies due to lack of anti-aliasing weren't bad enough yet, this change dials them up to eleven. Which to me is yet another confirmation that the people in charge of the new renderer have no clue what they're doing.

You can turn the sharpening off in the settings (move the slider down or turn the upscale to Normal). Not sure why it's being sharpened by default even when no upscaling used, though (it's not bad to have it as an option, but as a default setting it looks odd).

Is that to do with this?

Odyssey Update 5 Patchnotes
  • AMD FidelityFX CAS has now been integrated, and can be adjusted on a slider in the quality settings menu.
  • An upscaling option that allows the Player to switch between FidelityFX and Normal has been added into settings.

Yep, but having it sharpened there by default even for players not using any upscaling is causing the trouble Sakashiro described. Which seems like an odd choice to me.

"AMD FidelityFX CAS" sounds like it's a feature specific to AMD GPUs. I have Nvidia.

It works with Nvidia cards too.

I'm running the High preset. I'll delete the graphics settings file and let ED create one from scratch. Let's see if the problem persists.

It does. Even dialing that CAS effect all the way down has only a subtle impact, if any.

I haven't noticed any sharpening with having it all way down, but I wasn't very thorough, I admit. So then setting the upscaling method to Normal instead of AMD's should hopefully do the trick.

Yes, with Normal it looks like before.

At least they fixed the autoselect launch button after you repaired your ship in a station. Launched my ship by accident once because of muscle memory

Hm. Looks like my performance & overheat problems are... about 50% solved with this one. Stable 60 FPS walking around the hangar, 45+ in concourse. GPU is still running hot though.

p.s. Maybe I even have a chance to join the happy grind after I complete my 'top on to do list' space thing now.
(of course when everyone interested has finished a long time ago, mwahahaha, my luck, I love it)

The faction specific shoulder decals are back, yay!

Yeah, and your shoulderpads are compatible with ship again.
