Line 94:
**A snapshot of players' main commander profiles taken on April 23, 2021 was added to the alpha. Players had access to their owned ships and funds. Normal ship transfer costs and wait times were reduced so players could transfer their ships into the playable 50ly zone.
**All base game features were enabled to test their compatibility with ''Odyssey'' features. [[Drake-Class Carrier|Fleet Carriers]] were enabled belatedly on April 30.
== Orange Sidewinder fix ==▼
This is a possible fix for the Orange Sidewinder error after update 4 for steam users:<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/o1uct8/steam_users_with_orange_sidewinder_after_update_4/</ref>▼
# Verify your game files from within the LAUNCHER, not through Steam. It's under the OPTION menu at the top of the launcher.▼
# I first tried verifying my files in Steam and the constant Orange Sidewinder error wouldn't go away. Doing it via the launcher worked.▼
# Verifying the files resulted in a few downloads. Something appears to have gone wrong with the update downloading over Steam.▼
# EDIT: Disable Virtual Cache in the options before verifying the files, not doing so can slow down the process a lot on slow PC's. Also, it may take a while for the launcher to get past "preparing for update". I didn't disable the cache but I also have a very fast M.2 NVMe drive. <br />▼

== Compatibility ==
Line 171 ⟶ 161:
===Drivers===
Some CMDRs report considerable performance boosts in Odyssey by doing these:
* Nvidia GeForce: installing the [https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/drivers/ latest drivers], v466.47 or newer.
* AMD Radeon: installing the [https://www.amd.com/en/support latest drivers], v21.5.2 or newer.
===Graphics settings===
*Set Vsync to off. The GPU does unnecessary extra work on rendering frames that are never shown to the user. If you do set VSync to off, make sure to set a FPS limit (or on NVidia, use the other VSync options, like 'fast'), otherwise you would fry your GPU.
*Turn FX to "OFF". Turn Volumetric effects quality to low.

For ''Odyssey'' owners who pre-ordered and played the alpha version, the alpha file PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_0D can be deleted to free up 46 gigabytes of space.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/EliteDangerous/comments/ngu34s/commanders_did_you_play_alpha_of_elitedangerous/ r/EliteDangerous: Commanders!
