Elite Dangerous: Odyssey Update 6 Patch Notes
Important updates
- Planets! Visual improvements to planet surfaces, color, and texture have been implemented.
- Added equipment option to buy the mod and store it immediately, instead of installing it on the ship (if you watched this week's Supercruise news, this is the one Bruce wanted to shout about, but we needed double status check).
- Camera Suite Redesign – Rather than allowing movement through geometry and erasing the camera when occluded (“the blackout”), the camera now tests for collisions and prevents movement in the collision geometry (more information and discussion on these Update 6 improvements can be found here).
- AMD super-resolution is now integrated.
- You should now see an increase in game performance because rendering is enabled at a lower resolution and then scaled, rather than rendering at constant full resolution.
- There is also the added bonus of this integration which makes the game even more beautiful.
- Can be used to increase resolution when oversampling is set to less than 1x output resolution.
- Execution troops armed with rockets have been added to the game (they use the KA-L6).
- A fix has been implemented for previously invisible scatter rocks and organics.
- Ship ammo and heat sink stock will no longer automatically replenish when entering supercruise (sorry).
- Science Contact – Fixed gear donations for Science Contact (CG Contribution) where the donation event would be triggered as soon as an input was received, making it look like donations were only possible one gear at a time. that time.
- (Try not to clap too loudly, you might wake someone up) Elite Dangerous should now output "cleanly" without the "black screen hang".
