Models or Textures not loading properly

[Cringe Raptor]

As title says, i'm not even sure myself, eveerything in the game looks beyond awful.

I thought it might have been a problem of my system, because my pc is fairly old, so i downgraded everything to the lowest setting, nothing changed.

It's doubly weird because framerate is not an issue, ultra high or low settings have no bearing on the fps of the game and the graphic quality remains terrible.

Has anyone ever experienced something like this?

Pics from my game, because i really don't know how to describe this in words:

Try this (remember to backup files):
(ie purge your gfx config)

Also it's no wonder that framerates are high if you're running low-poly mode. :D

cheers

That's the thing to, even if i use ultra high setting the game doesn't change. It's like the imputs i place in the options aren't being considered by the game.

Btw, i already tried that fix, it gave me more fps, but again, my problem here is with the utterly bonkers graphics.

ive got the exact same issues on a newer amd ryzen 5
game used to run on ultra with zero problems, but now its like all the 3d object coordinates are absolutely f***d. ive tried verifying files, clearing my shader cache, resetting several pc settings and in game settings. and even tried to reinstall. all my drivers are up to date, but for some reason the coding translations are just garbage.

[Planewalker]

I would delete the graphicsconfig.xml in the main game folder(Odyssey, nOt Horizons) and then verify files via steam.

Otherwise it might be smth with the servers, idk.

I have this issue too. textures missing and low quality. in odyssey. but in horizons don't have problem. I reinstall , low setting and verify integrity of game files but not work. Can you fix it yet ?

[CRCGamer]

Clearing the graphics options doesn't fix the model and texture problems. A 6 GB VRAM video card shouldn't be having this sort of graphical glitching that persists even if you attempt setting graphics to lowest. It is definitely something on their end that isn't playing nice with all setups. Heck, I even went and go the latest NVIDIA drivers as of a couple days ago and its still flaking out.

What is particularly infuriating is that once in a while you can see it actually load the high quality LOD for a couple seconds where things look like they should and they just go away afterwards to being jaggy glitched out mud.

Ok, o one has a solution for now but at least i know i'm not the only one.

That gives me some hope, because it means this stuff is a propblem on the game's end and that way, it probably will get fixed with updates.

I'm currently verifying the files, i will try this later.

I also sent a support ticket with the same informations, hopefully, the devs can figure this out, if they come up with something useful, i will post it here.

I guess I'm joining the club...

I've been running Horizons just fine with my R9 270x for several years, but for odyssey, it is just completely unplayable.

There are stretched textures, artifacts, ultra low-res surfaces with missing details EVERYWHERE.

It does not matter what quality settings or resolutions I use, they are constant. This is the only game where I've experienced this happening.

FDev recommended a R9 300 series AMD GPU for Odyssey, which is only a few steps up from what I currently have.

Sure it probably would produce better FPS at high resolutions than what my card is capable of, but I'm not worried about that when I can't even see textures rendering properly!



---- EDIT ----
I would like to add, I've tried what Planewalker said: delete the GraphicsConfiguration.xml file located in the main game folder for Odyseey.

My experience is as follows:

Upon relaunching the game and entering a space station on foot, I noticed SOME of the textures were "fixed" momentarily (Namely the elevators), before switching back to the same bugged textures as before.

I'm really speechless...

I've started a report on the Frontier Issue tracker here: https://issues.frontierstore.net/edit-issue/32807

Any support would be awesome, thanks.

I've also spoken to someone who said they made a report about the same issue and it was taken down? I hope this isn't true...

I'm dumb and don't know how to find stuff in the frontier forums, but please, keep us informed and feel free to link this discussion or copypaste anything i said.

[Cringe Raptor]

So, i tried playing in Horizon.

This graphical bug is not present in Horizon, everything works fine there, this only happens in Odissey.

That only happens if it's been fixed or is a verified duplicate, so patch notes should state that.

You can log in to both the bugtracker, support, and official forums with your normal ED login.
-in fact it is the correct way to do it if you need help.

There is an issue with the renderer/drawing calls in the engine atm.
Unfortunately, nvidia often needs a DDU before installing new drivers.

Looking at posts, the amount of some people expecting to play Odyssey at minimum requirements is too high. -being able to play horizons does not equate to being able to play Odyssey at the same settings, and i think too many don't understand that.

Odyssey wasn't ready for release for sure, and the person(s) who rushed for push are to blame for that alone. -they have some explaining or introspective deliberation to do imo.

This is not even FD putting bogus minimum requirements on the steam page.

This is a game that for people works completely fine but as soon as you turn on odissey it just stops working correctly.

It's not even hardware problem; when you don't have the requirements to play a game what you experience is long loading times for the textures, low framerate, and a slew of other issues that are absent from my experience with odissey.

This here is a game that outright refuses to leave what seems a state of pre-load of the textures and models.

I've been a pc player for decades, and i spent most of that time running games that weren't supposed to run on my machine because as a teen i couldn't buy a decent pc.

And in all that time i've never, never experienced whatever this is.

This goes beyond the piss poor optimization they did (or didn't do, more likely), this is a big ass bug.

SAME issue I have made multiple topics but there is no fix... Game runs at 20fps if im lucky and i ps1 era textures like cmmon. it's been a week, I have had tickets on their side on steam and still nothing. I don't think it will be fixed within the near future you're looking at months

So you're telling me rtx 3070 is outdated and i need to upgrade? I know my i7 is a little old, but dude you're pulling at straws. My 3070 could run the game on ultra before, now my pc can't even run it on the lowest settings in horizon or Odyssey and the textures are bugged for me. So next time you have the helpful tip of "it's the user's fault" at least have evidence and don't try to start a flame war. shake my head.
