Elite Dangerous: Odyssey - Patch 7.01 - Frame rate poor performance at a particular settlement

Ryzen 7 3700X - 16G DDR4 3200 - RTX 2060 6G - 1440p

Some friends and I were fighting scavengers at the first settlement in this video on Friday 24 Sep 2021, the day after the Patch 7.01 release. When we arrived our frame rates tanked and we died while playing it.

This is the first time since Odyssey launch that I have experienced anything even remotely like this performance degradation, so I made a video...

In this video, I take on the same settlement and make adjustments to Graphics settings as I play. Frame rate is displayed in the lower left...

00:00 - Selecting and accepting the mission

00:49 - Change the Graphics settings to Ultra/AMD FSR with Super-sampling set to "Balanced.

07:52 - After landing and deploying my SRV, I have to change Graphics setting down to Low with Super-sampling set to 0.65 to get a decent frame rate.

10:49 - While playing the first settlement, my FPS goes up and down wildly at times depending on where I am in the settlement/shade (I think).

26:38 - After completing the first mission and leaving the settlement, I reset Graphics to Ultra w/SS = "Balanced" again and leave it there for the remainder of the video.

34:38 - At the second settlement, my first shot is a one-shot kill...of myself. LOL
