How to play Elite again?

[ykza5]

Hi guys.
I've been absent from ED since the last beta. I formatted my hard drive and forgot to backup ED installer.
Where can I download the launcher? I can't seem to find it anywhere, already went to the store and it shows I bought the game but no link to download

Thanks

Now I remember why I quit ED the screen flickering, I'm playing and all of a sudden screen starts to flicker from black to desktop. Any way to fix these? Google did not show anything specific to elite

This happens sometimes, but you can usually just click back into game.
If you're having it happen frequently I'd say something in your set-up is clashing with it.
Is your PC low spec .. or very high spec?
If you are still having issues from Beta, then I'd say it's your set-up and not ED per-say.

Video drivers? Or change mode from borderless to full screen or vice versa. Also disable any background stuff you don't need, eg: Anti-virus if you are running anything there beyond Windows Defender.

this happens to me if I overclock my GPU too much.

Nope back in beta and a bit of alpha was running perfectly.
I have a 980 gtx corei5 2500k and 12gb Ram. Not exactly top of the line but not low spec either.

No antivirus or any of that stuff running.

I have not overclocked the gpu

Managed to play again, thanks to support. The trick that did for me (according to support) was to underclock my GPU to -50. To me that's quite irrational having to underclock my video card which is not even the top one at the moment, but meh I can play, that's what matters.

Another thing, I'm back in a sidewinder, I remember having a better ship, probably a cobra cause I have 389000 CR so they probably refunded me for that, but what happen? There was no wipe because I still have my trader status as it was before

I dimly recall us getting a refund for the ship we had and a brand sparly new Sidie when moving from Premium Beta to Beta, or maybe it was at launch. So that's probably what happened.

All was wiped when the game went from Beta 3 to Gamma. So if you quit at Beta, all is gone.
