SakashiroCopied all the Holo-Me sliders over to Odyssey, and this was the result (at high settings):

Shape seems identical, but the complete absence of specular reflection on eyes and skin (aka. "skin glow") makes the result look very flat and cartoonish. FDev might want to take a look at how CP2077 does this.
And wtf is their thumbnail renderer doing?

*mental note to self: Make screenshot of holo-me sliders*

Sounds like the Alpha is down for maintenance anyway... the 1st of many, to be sure.

- You can't change your destination during the flight.
- You can't self-destruct.
- You can't shoot the pilot and take over the shuttle.
- If you log out, the flight will not continue. The shuttle will simply drop out of supercruise and resume the flight when you log in again. Say goodbye to the idea of traveling to Colonia while offline.
I suspect this will not be a popular means of transport in the final game.

I guess I'll try a 'validate files'.

Synthya WylderI tried logging into the Alpha, & I saw, 'update available' & clicked on the 'Upgrade' & my ED launcher locks & freezes.

Leave it. It actually works in the background. Will take roughly 15 min.

SakashiroFun facts about Apex shuttles (please correct if wrong):
- You can't change your destination during the flight.
- You can't self-destruct.
- You can't shoot the pilot and take over the shuttle.
- If you log out, the flight will not continue. The shuttle will simply drop out of supercruise and resume the flight when you log in again. Say goodbye to the idea of traveling to Colonia while offline.

Why are you so evil?

Clover ShawSakashiroIf your computer could handle Horizons only at low settings, you may be in trouble now.
That's exactly how I have to run the game. Oh well. It's okay though. I bought ED because it's a space flight sim. I can live without walking around on planets and all of that stuff.
This is not optimized yet, so it's likely you'll be fine, but don't get your hopes up. Rumor has it they basically rewrote the whole game for this expansion, and that likely means they're bringing the game into the 2020s in terms of quality. That can be both a blessing for people with high end systems that don't even break a sweat on maximum settings, and a curse for people used to running E:D using computers from 2012.
I have faith that they'll figure something out that will benefit everyone because Frontier have done such a good job of optimizing the game in the past that I can't really imagine them throwing that away. I can imagine them screwing up an FPS though, because I don't think they have ever done one before.

FDev's updater sucks if you have ED installed on a HDD. It spends more time checking the installed files than actually downloading and updating them.
I wish they'd use Steam's beta update feature. It gets these jobs done much faster.

Not sure what you're pointing at <-----PC.
Right KB/M for now, but I've worked out some crude joystick and hotas for movement of character but the interaction between game characters and counter characters are still eluding me.
