Decent read. Luckily I already read the Rami piece, very worthwhile read as well for gamers to get some perspective on how patching and cert factor in for devs.
Maybe try rebooting the console. IIRC, sometimes that's necessary.
Thx.
Can anyone confirm in NA being able to purchase the DLC on either Xbox or PS4 ?
It's one of the best DLC's, and Arabia Terra is probably my favorite song on the whole soundtrack.
I'm gonna wait to install Xbox copy on my Xbox One X Scorpio Edition until a.) it is confirmed the new patch is out, and b.) the Mars Pack is confirmed working.
I know right? Quite irritating to be honest.
And now, for something completely out of left field...
I would love to see 34BigThings make a DLC track for Redout based on the 3DO / Panasonic M2 'Racing Game' demo from E3 1995.
That would be insane.
Almost certainly contains the Mars DLC--Redout DLC is downloaded to everyone and buying it just gives you a key to unlock it. They do this so that only the host of an online room needs to buy the dlc so it can be used (I raced on the Back to Earth DLC a whole week before actually buying it, for instance, through online rooms).
Funny how they could not have just contacted DF at about the res and let everybody know about the upcoming patch. Instead they had to turn it into a shitshow to for some self righteous BS. Now we have garbage hot takes all over the damn place
Sucks the way the CEO behaved in response to DF... Decided not to support this studio because of that.
Then... I tried the demo on PC yesterday and immediately purchased the game. It was roughly $6 (converted from INR) on Steam. On 50% discount till 21st. Game's super fun.

I think it's missing the Back To Earth DLC (came out in December) and the Space Exploration DLC, november. Both of these are bigger than the previous packs. 10 tracks each.
Got home late from work yesterday so I only did a few runs on some of the Mars tracks.
The game seemed to run fine most of the time. I only noticed one framerate drop in a longer tunnel section.

The average resolution is seemingly much higher as well compared to the last patch. Seems like this is the state it should have been released in.
it runs much better too, resolution aside.
Italian guys did imply that this was their day1 scorpio patch that got stuck in the cogs of certification...
And of course there is no way they did make this patch after the pixelcounting videos. so..
that would explain much of the burst
still not perfect by my (strict) standards for racing games, but now its in rather good shape. before, most tracks were totlly unenjoyable for me.
will probably buy the dlc too as soon as I playthrough the (lots of) tracks
Redout devs need a PR person. Very, very badly. Even the patch announcement post sounds like a petulant child handing in their homework.
The game's fun. I won't hold their poor PR skills against them. They'll calm the heck down, hopefully soon.
It's surely a pity that gamers were abusing the devs over the Digital Foundry content. That's pathetic.

Does it really run better? Honestly I'm not seeing that much of a difference. The first event, a time trial without any AI drivers, still doesn't run smooth for me. During the H2O Classic event for example, the game constantly slows down and speeds up again.
I'm going to check more tracks and events during the weekend.
So I had maybe a half hour on the early tracks last night. It's still a super clean image and runs fine, but some track segments (generally a transitional straightaway) still feel like there are frame drops. The responsiveness and overall pacing are fine, but as far as I can tell, it's still not ideal. It feels very similar to before (second patch), if I'm being frank. It's totally possible there are optimizations for other tracks that had more catches before, but I haven't come across any major differences.
Thank you for the impressions. Hopefully they eventually get as close to a 60fps lock on most tracks in most conditions.
The framerate drops are still ready bad in races. Especially in Class IV. Some of the events are unplayable in my opinion.
And still no comment about the Xbox One assets and the missing HDR support compared to PS4.
Also the game crashes a lot on the X. I don't think this is my console because Redout is the only game that crashes repeatedly.
Yeah, I haven't experienced things that badly, but I've also only messed around with the early content since the patch.
I think Dave is working on it but remember that they released a new patch which completely changes things.
Also, anyone know when the Mars Pack DLC will release on PS4 ?
And since the Xbox One already has the Mars DLC, what about the most recent DLCs like Back to Earth and Space Exploration ?

The Space Exploration dlc has been released .
The dlc includes two new environments and a total of 10 new tracks . There is also a new update for the game.
I've been playing for a few hours now and the game seems to perform a lot smoother during races.

Wow good timing, was just about to bump the Enhanced games thread and yeah the game is much smoother now.
I'd definitely recommend playing the game now.
Have they said what kind of track the last DLC will have?
Back to Earth is incredible and has one of my favorite songs in the game (Pipe Down), though it's...wacky as hell and definitely not for everyone, lol
Here are the update notes on PS4.
I haven't check this on Xbox One X, yet.
Looking forward to giving a test tonight. Do you recall if it gives options for performance vs resolution?
Ah I thought you meant there was another one after this one.
I picked it up now that the game's performing much better.
No options.
W.S. There is another dlc. There are three dlc packs and only two of those are available on consoles.
Does it seem more like a solid 60fps now?
I'm also wondering if the update still keeps it at 1080p most of the time.
Yes. I checked a few tracks that had performance problems before and they are gone now.
The game currently has 50 tracks. I haven't played all of them since the update but so far I haven't noticed any performance problems.
Of course it's possible that there are still some parts that drop frames but I haven't found them yet.
