Players of Elite Dangerous have reported a troubling technical issue linked to the Odyssey expansion, where PCs unexpectedly shut down when approaching or exiting planetary outposts. The problem surfaced after the expansion's release, affecting even users with new computer builds. One player suspects a power surge causing the power supply unit to trip, as shutdowns happen inconsistently but often during critical moments near outposts. This issue disrupts gameplay and may indicate a serious bug or hardware interaction problem that needs urgent attention from developers.
- Shutdowns occur near planetary bases when exiting Frame Shift Drive (FSD).
- Issue reported after Odyssey expansion purchase, affecting various PC setups.
