To those of you who have played this (or played this on PS4) This video, here: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en...p-now:null:null Makes the game look fairly exciting... and pretty. Are these just extremely rare and otherwise contrived moments that will never happen? Are they cutscenes in a lot of cases? Or just CGI game trailer? Does it look that pretty on a PS4 Pro? I'm hovering over the buy button.

poo poo I would be looking for in this game: Immersion deep controls but not hardcore flight sim " oh you forgot to say echo bravo at the end of your call to air traffic control and now you are loving grounded son!" minutiae. Finding new cool poo poo to marvel at and such... Occasionally shooting bounties and having that action be somewhat fun/not janky.

Like, I don't mind actual downtime. Sort of like a really nice mobile idle game with better trappings. If it's ALL downtime, that's a different story.

Stsrts game. Oohs. Ahhs. Does training. First one good. Docking still installing. Does basic combat Training . "Nice, he's harmless, you only need a couple more hits" Chases around ship peppering him with bullets for the next 25 minutes.... pauses to gripe on internet.

Alright so right at this moment I'm kind of pissed. I'm doing the Combat Training. 1 guy on screen. Flying around. The game is stuttering (it's on Performance settings) I'm on a Pro. It's also screen tearing. I watched a PS4 livestream with the devs and there was screen tearing and they were all like... "oh hey, it must be our capture device we don't see that here on our end." What a bunch of lying liars. When I say Stuttering, I mean the other ship, and my turning, are moving kind of jaggedly. It just cropped up a few minutes ago. [edit] Restarting fixed it, so far. Weird, almost like a memory-leak behavior. Feenix fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Jun 28, 2017 |

I took a video for posterity. Will post later. Also, I complained about how long and hard it was to shoot in COmbat Training. Upon my reboot, I'm doing this again... and there is a snap-to lead reticule that either was not there before or I unwittingly turned off. So, sort of walk that gripe back a little.

Kurr de la Cruz posted:I don't really see any visual issues. What exactly is the problem? Maybe its not coming across in the video. But trust me. It's not smooth. It's much smoother when it started and after a reboot. Also, no, there is more to it than you say. Even when I was targeting him the first time, no snap-on reticule came up. It looks like it toggles on and off (thanks tutorial! for not telling me!) I wasn't trying to track him there but show how not-smooth and screen-teary it had become for some reason.

Ok so doing the docking training. I'm in the base (Azerban City) I'm over the target circle area of the dock. My landing gear is down. I'm facing the way the chevrons are pointing me (back outside). I just keep sparking and bouncing off the ground and now I'm out of time. What the gently caress.

A. Beaverhausen posted:Granted it's been years since I've done it so I don't recall if you even have to for the training mission, but did you request landing permission from the station? Oh, Yes. Definitely. I did that. I'm all good... I even have the countdown window for my docking. Wolfechu posted:If it's telling you to face the exit to land, somethings hosed up, you ALWAYS land facing the arse end of the station. It's not TELLING me to face the exit. It's TELLINg me to align with the chevrons on the pad. Which... are pointing to the outside. Sooo... naturally. I will try that though..

I just want to reiterate how peeved I am that there is ample screen tearing and judder on Pro on Performance Settings when the Devs were on a PS4 Live stream a week ago like "oh, hey, people are saying there is screen tearing on our stream. We totally don't see it! Must be the capture device! Don't worry!" That is some underhanded poo poo.

Nostalgia4Infinity posted:Man your inevitable meltdown is going to be amazing Eh. I mean, it's not worth ruining my day over. Just kind of lovely for the devs to act like it's totally not something that happens in their game. Just about everything I do has some kind of stutter or pause before it executes. Screen tearing. Low rear end framerate (Single digits) when it pans back to center before it opens the galaxy map. Super low framerate as it spins up the FSD. It's really unfortunate. Hopefully the game sinks its hooks into me before I get tired of how badly this seems to run.

So I tried to Supercruise and I got all hot (maybe I was too close to a star? I don't know...) it beeped about aligining with Escape Vector. How the gently caress do I find what that is? [edit] Found it. That tiny rear end blue dot. NExt question. I got a mission to pick up trade data on GD215. I found a nav beacon. The mission says I'm supposed to "Search Signal Sources". What am I supposed to be doing?? Feenix fucked around with this message at 06:45 on Jun 29, 2017 |

Was trying to do a mission and not sure if I got lost or the target was moving. (Some kind of signal scan) but I kept overshooting. It's like my choices are "SUPER CRUISE AND loving BLOW PAST EVERYTHING BY A MILLION MILES EVEN IF I DECELERATE FULL ABOUT 10 SECONDS OUT" or "EXIT SUPERCRUISE WITH ENOUGH TIME AND HAVE TO loving GLIDE FOR 45 MINUTES." Anyhow, that'll probably come with practice but it is annoying the poo poo out of me. Right now I'm limping to the ONLY thing I can reach, sadly... and it's taking forever. 3.97LY (unchanging in Supercruise...) 4.1d slowly counting down. What the gently caress can I do here? [edit] OUt of gas. Can't find a place to refuel.

Nice piece of fish posted:You are loving with us, now, right? You are aware of the difference between jumping and supercruise, right? Default two different buttons? I am aware of the difference. Supercruise for fast in-system travel. Hyperjump for loading new system instances. I was flying towards the one that far away because it was the ONLY thing that wasn't red "low fuel" on my navigation tab. I'm still new to to this game so there's a lot I don't know because that's going to take some time, but I was flying in the ONLY direction it didn't tell me I couldn't make it to. I can't Hyperjump. Was that a different system? I guess I'd never make it there, either. Ok! PS4 PRO videos of lovely performance. I'm on Performance settings, standard FOV. Screen Tearing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hPuQb2Hjnc Screen Tearing and also jerky framerate: Fighting 1 ship in Tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scHPBlY_exU Screen Tearing flying in a straight line with nothing else on screen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmY0NrMwhNE A few seconds in, the planet/scenery "jumps" or the game has a massive frame skip gap. This happens a lot. (11 seconds in) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDHptofR9Jk The one video I haven't shown (didn't capture one yet) was how hardcore the game frame rate lags when you look back forward right before the Galaxy Map or System Map loads...

A. Beaverhausen posted:Also has anyone mentioned the "sweet spot" of 7 seconds eta to drop down your speed to the blue zone in super cruise, ensuring you don't overshoot your destination? Yep. I've been trying that. Except if you slow down at 7 seconds (or start) it's either still been too late, or you seem to find yourself still kind of far away. May just need to learn it better, but that HAS been what I have been trying to do.

Usually I scan a ship or whatever by pressing X on it and letting it scan a few seconds. I am not sure how to scan the Nav Beacon.

Thanks guys! I am so used to these multi-button commands I forgot about raw-dogging the D-pad. And I am afraid of just hitting buttons. I did that when I was near a space station when I thought I needed to back out of a menu and I hit O and boost into the dock. LOL. Jedi Knight Luigi posted:

Just gonna say, I was out in the middle of nowhere, and all the sudden I see like 5 ships fly in. One is a pirate with a Wanted level and a bunch of other ships. (Can't tell if NPC or Players) They come streaming by, and I'm still in that "holy poo poo there are too many buttons what do I do?!" phase. So somehow, I get my poo poo together and am like... scan scan scan... WANTED... ok... SQUARE BUTTON, AIM, FIRE FIRE FIRE OOOH OOOH I'M DOING THIS! and he blew up and I am 22,500 richer. Thanks for listening.

*logs on* *is not even sure he's 100% sold on the game yet* *buys Frontier Points because he needs to be sick nasty* [edit]: Nameplates, engine thrust colors, laser colors.

Ok, so they are multi-use. That's good. My second question was merely to determine if it was a one time use if it was a waste to buy cosmetics for a ship I'd toss soon, or if I'd need to be in the starter ship for like, 40 hours. Thanks!

Help me out here a little... I read up on the wiki and it sounded like the Adder had 4 hardpoints. But the Adder I just bought has 2? Also I thought it had space for 1 crew, but it says I dont have adequate space. (unless 1 crew meant just me?) [edit] NM on the hardpoint. It's a medium one and I see it now. Just empty.

Been away, and busy. Just getting back into this. Just bought a fuel scoop, yay! I just took a decent mission that says go find 6 units of SIlver from a Suitable Market and return them to the space station. I thought it said to access the Trade Routes to find a good price or whatever. I just accessed trade routes and got a ton of colored lines... I bought Trade Data for 100 Credits from a random destination on one of those lines. How do I utilize this into, and generally commodity-trade?
