Absolutely, and it's R210! Don't come here with your stupid extra R10. That's racist!

You tell him! also looks like with the new pricing you need the base game to get Horizons... no?

 

[InSanity]

I got this over the weekend to try it out. I can now land as well as crash into star.

I think I may just have a few more things left to learn.

I know these feels

 

[MalicE]

I'm so tired of exploding. Inly need to do 1 or 2 more 100k missions/bounty runs then I can get my Cobra

Sure seems like that yeah. But the base game has a lot to offer. Only current limitations are the lack of Cobra MK4 and planetary landings / missions. And of course no driving around. This will all change a bit in the release of 2.1.

I think you still see the missions though.

Told you before, you are welcome to join me and we'll make a quick couple 100k.

It would appear so, yes.

Otherwise purchase the Deluxe Bundle.

This all just makes me wish they would add the skins into the steam store as well. I want more skins for my ships. But I really don't enjoy using the Frontier store. And there's no logical reason for that. It just doesn't fell right.

lol nooit. Not a bawler.

Alternatively, get the base game and add the Horizons DLC which comes to R630.

But again, if you just wanting to get a feel for it first, I think a asking price of R210 is well worth it. Then decide after spending some with it if you wanna invest further.

Yeah think this will be my idea for now.

I am online a lot more than you are.

 

[MalicE]

I am online a lot more than you are.

yeah I'm not disputing that fact. But when I AM on you are not. most of the time.

So in other words the problem is on your side.

That's a feature, not a bug!

like my 9fps supercruise?

I thought you got this beastly card from some people? Mine also dips, but perhaps that's why they made it early access. Although since the closed beta the performance has never improved for me.

it seems to be a optimizing issue with the AMD GPUs

Frontier is aware of the problem but it's just not on their priority list at the moment it seems

I know that recent AMD drivers apparently made some changes specifically for Elite. So if you don't have them yet...
But then there's always the issue with how stupid texture streaming works in the game. A couple of things come to mind:

1. The high resolution textures load while you are still far away from the planet.
1.1. While I can understand this, I cannot understand why it has to jump from low res to super high res. Where the median?
1.2. Why does high resolution textures have to load the same way on the dark side of a planet as it does on the light side? Most of the time you can't even see it's happening. But it is, and it's chomping away at memory and bandwidth like a true parasite.

2. Streaming seems to happen in a pattern the same way as the mesh is built up f
or a planet, which means that different sized textures load over each other constantly when you approach a surface... WHAT? WHY!
2.1. One of the older dev videos show how they are loading something like 7 different layer textures over each other, which breaks older graphics cards as well as anything below high end.
