Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Patch Notes | November 5 Update
Here are the complete patch notes for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey November 5 Update coming out for all supported platforms:
Greetings Commanders o7
Hot of the “fix-press”, we’ve got another response update on the way for Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Commanders shortly, to address a noticable issue with the game “stuttering” when you’re out and about on foot.
Today at approximately 12:30 UTC we will be rolling out a fix for the “Settlement Stutter” in the form of a client update.
This means you will need to install an update to your game once deployment is complete.
Unfortunately it won’t be a “stealth rollout” (where the servers don’t need to come offline), so…
Elite Dangerous: Odyssey servers (only) will be offline for a brief duration (no more than 10 minutes).
The Issue:
- Commanders have been noticing progressively more, that during settlement and general on-foot interactions a sudden “stutter” in performance occurs.
Results from Investigation:
“Nav-mesh: An area that allows AI to “plan” sensible routes around their location in game, according to their designated destination“.
- Nav-mesh was being built around all of the many, many rocks on planet surfaces (expensive ask, that!), but as settlement AI never leave their settlement posts, there’s no need for nav-mesh generation out of their patrol boundaries.
The Fix:
- Removing the rocks from the navmesh generation in this instance stops a situation where the game was “stuttering” in order to catch up with this mass coverage.
PLEASE NOTE: This fix is not a targeted fix to improve frame rate issues.
- This is a fix to SPECIFICALLY TACKLE THE STUTTERING.
The team continue to work on general optimisation/performance issues around significant drops in optimal framerates as an ongoing endeavour as part of the forthcoming update 9.
Known Issues:
Once again, a little nod to the immediate known issues from very recent forum conversations and a few others (please continue to note that there are obviously more individual experience reports coming in PLUS legacy issues which aren’t listed here, of course – this doesn’t mean that all of those suddenly don’t count, (like the “blue tunnel hang when jumping”…I’ll stop you there before you use it’s unofficial name). Just making a top level short list to keep minds at ease.)
