Well, i have GTX 660, the game can run smooth with medium settings(with some changes) my pc config is low for vanilla/horizons recommended settings and above the minimum, but now with odyssey update maybe i will got 40/30fps inside stations and in odyssey content, so... low FPS in FPS mode, no ship interior and i don't like FPS games, so i wan't going to buy.
And i have 300 hours in the game and now maybe i can't play anymore, and this is horrible

And another lie. They said that Oddysey wont change much if at all from Horizons Requirements. Well , time to refund.

Ah, but once the console versions are released Horizons will be upgraded to the new graphics engine anyway.
So Horizons will have the same system requirements by the end of the year, which means at that point you (and I) may well need a faster computer EVEN IF WE CHOSE NOT TO BUY ODYSSEY.
I really hope I'm wrong and that the only reason the requirements are higher is to deal with the on-foot sections - I'm on a laptop which I can't upgrade and I can't justify buying a new computer for a game.

idk what yall are on ab but this looks dope

Well what can i say... a brand new dlc for a 5 year old game wich never came out of its development phase. First you released Horizons (Which is now completely included in the vannila game - WOW what a kick in the face) with a lot of promises. Now you are going to release what?.I porbally will wait untill your next DLC so this one is going to be included too or a better idea i will never play one of your games again.

This is the last dlc they're making for the game. After this they're planning on working on the next Elite game

It would be nice to play the dlc of an old game without having to upgrade my pc, I'd be okay spending 30, not 800

Не собираюсь покупать новый ssd так как места не хватит 75гб. Примерно на минималка пойдет но так играть точно не буду хочу вернуть одисею и забыть.

the worst part of this Odyssey update is that we can no longer spam "space legs" in every ED livestream any more. RIP spamming

yes we can, This time we spam "Ship Interiors". lol

So far I'm pretty safe! Ryzen 3 5000 CPU and Asus Rog RX5700XT, I feel bad for all of you , we are going to lose lots of good Elite Players . But if you want better graphics and physics in the game, its inevitable that system requirements are going to be slightly higher.

At this point I'd much rather that they keep the old Horizons client and requirements permanently. There is basically zero evidence at this point that they can really do optimization.

As noted by ObsidianAnt - the recommended specs actually went up compared to the Alpha.

The Alpha wasn't for optimization. Instead it was a benchmarking test, which revealed they undershot their original requirements targets. So they simply increased the recommended requirements.

Eventually also horizons players will get the updated graphics, which in turn should also mean worse performance and a requirement for stronger hardware.

So far Frontier has done quite well in the specs (on top of everything actually) so I kinda hope they'll lower the power required.
Am I the only one thinking that you can have excelent results with 5 y.o. hardware? Tomb Raider, Need for Speed Rivals, Project Cars 2, Pacer, Elite Dangerous [Horizons], Mortal Kombat X, Deliver Us the Moon, are some of the games own which look great and I don't see why the devs should push for more performance, especially right now that it's impossible for the average gamer to buy new hardware...

Just FYI, the min spec for odyssey is 7 year old hardware at this point, and you can probably do fine even with some of the better CPUs from 2011. So if you had recommended spec for Horizons then you'll do fine with min spec for odyssey.

But expecting min spec for Horizons, which is 11 years old (GTX 470), to still be applicable to odyssey is a bit silly. I don't think any other game in the last 5 years will run well on that. Heck I had a GTX 560 in 2016 and it was struggling even back then.

And have Horizons users complaining that they get no graphics updates, "forcing" them to buy new DLCs?..

You said it 3 times already, but forgot to add that it's TOP hardware of it's time. 780 has basically the same performance as 1060, which is far from being 7 years old.

You're implying, that there's barely no one left today whose specs is worse than this, and everyone else should really upgrade(in a time when it's virtually impossible), but mind you this specs is for 720p/30 fps. Who the ♥♥♥♥ playing 30fps on 720p monitor in 2021??? That's unplayable for an FPS, which this update is all about.

Also, the minimum and recommended specs, as stated above, are basically the same(there is like 10% difference between 780 and 1060), which is always a sign of poor optimization.

Compared to not letting them play the game they already own and can already run? Yes, absolutely.

Thing is you're just busy trying to sell the new expansion and having zero sympathy for people who can't afford an upgrade.

I personally have a computer between Odyssey's minimum and max specs, but I would absolutely prefer to run Horizons well rather than chase after "improved" graphics at low FPS.

Guys, switch to console of you are to lazy to upgrade a 6 year old pc.

Cant wait for dlc, hyped.

Lol, that's backwards. It is highly unlikely that any console will be able to run Odyssey well at the current level of optimization. Indeed, the increase in requirements the day before launch indicates it will never run well on consoles.

But then again people who keep trying to sell Odyssey here engage in all kinds of mental gymnastics to justify its failed promises and shift focus elsewhere.
