So basically the "roadmap" TLDR is that the product is effectively still in alpha/beta development and testing on PC and performance optimisation/bug fixes will have to wait until the console version comes out in 6 months time.
How the hell is performance optimisation something they say they'll get round to in several months time. Surely optimisation should be one of the very first things done given how unplayable it is on even relatively mid-high end hardware at the moment. Especially given how well the game ran across a range of PC specs prior to Odyssey
I know we're all trying to stay optimistic but I think we have reason to be negative given how Odyssey's launch has been handled and the quality of the product delivered which clearly is still months away from being ready for release.
Clearly the game was rushed to release. I can't help but feel they'd have been better marketing the game as a beta/alpha and being honest about the current state of the game rather than trying to pass out off as a final product ready for commercial release.

That is the impression I get. Rushing to console release using PC as the testing platform.
I have no desire to order yet until it is fleshed out and optimised.
Also, I have no idea, other than greed as to how they thought they would get away with releasing it in this mess.
I would wait a bit more, its less bugy now but performance is still an issue.
Sounds like a plan to me, I'm still trying to work towards my Fleet Carrier anyways (4bn ish to go).
Its a bit frustrating as I've noticed most of the settlements buying mined materials at the highest prices are Odyssey only.
It plays fine for me now since I upgraded my card from a 1080 to a 3080, which probably isn't surprising! Dont get random crashes any more (was due to SLI), lag (very low FPS to the 1080) and while there are a few bugs they arent game breaking.

Im still running a GTX980 with the intention to upgrade to a 3080 in the future, unfortunately i cant see it happening any time soon
Horizons works fine but Odyssey might give me some issues.2070 Super, that is not a crap GPU, 50 FPS with 99% GPU load, mental..... 1440P

I think if you need an RTX 3080 (which you realistically can't buy right now anyway) to get smooth 60fps performance in a game at 1440p then that's an indication of some serious optimisation issues!
Completely agree with this. Unfortunately more and more games are badly optimised these days and run poorly even on recommended hardware.
Not yet, still too salty over the whole VR issues and general mickey taking by FD, has put me off even loading Odyssey at all, I had low expectations but they sure exceeded them lol, it'll be a long time before FD see another penny from me and unless they pull off a Hello games style redemption it's likely to be never, can only imagine what Warhammer and F1 licence holders are thinking right now regarding their choice of dev company.
