Support Notice : Horizons beta

The Horizons beta has been delayed a few days. Please see our support site for more info.



Is this from the previous release date the 24th? Or does it now means a new delay....?!

That was what the old delay said word for word so I think that's from the 24th.

On a side note I really hope the new launcher says
Elite Dangerous [32 BIT]
Elite Dangerous [64 BIT]
Horizons beta [64 BIT]

Wouldn't hurt and ED are going to have to go full 64 bit at some point if they plan on keeping the ten year plan

I don't remember any beta Frontier have ever put out being released before about 19:00 GMT. This one will probably be later than that. It's currently 17:56 over here in the UK so there's a few hours to go yet. Relax!

It surely is from the last week ...
the Frontier Help-Tweet is very clear on the fact that they are currently working on pushing the Beta out of the door (and that it is "just" a few hours away)

Glad I didn't take off today, was considering it though. Just checking this forum from phone. It's almost noon here and hopefully by the time I get home in 4 1/2 hours it'll be ready.

You all know that even when it does release, you'll log in and it'll either say "cannot connect to server", or words to that effect, or you'll be disconnected within two minutes of booting up.

@Cimmern If we have to push back by an hour or so we don't want to disappoint anyone! Soon, though. :)

This is a reply to the question "why don't we get a specific time when Horizons goes live?"
 
By the time I write this (my calculation will be correct) we now have over 2000+ posts on hype. This makes me :) or :( about ED players you decide.

Edit 1 off not shabby at all.

Hi ED & FD,

Please, take ALL the time you need and don't worry about ALL of us. We were here last Monday for the Horizons release and we're STILL here today. So, as long as you've managed to overcome the major issues you had with Horizons, we'll ALL see it later today (hopefully...). And, I'm sure we'll ALL love you for it, we're certainly NOT going to go anywhere else now. Besides, it's NOT like we've got nothing else to do, at least we've got ED to fill the time, until Horizons is live.

The suspense is unimaginable, which only makes it better, doesn't it!!! :) :) :)

P.S. My Elite Dangerous is through Steam and I believe that won't do Horizons (yet). Do I just wait for a new Launcher in my Downloadable Products and also the full Horizons expansion to download, or will I see the Horizons Beta on my original Steam Launcher and play from there?
Also, when I log into the Beta, will I have my credits etc... from ED, or, do I understand correctly that the beta is a stand-a-lone product with a fresh profile? (at least until it's fully released). Once it is fully released, will we be able to merge our ED & EDH profiles, or will it just default back to our original ED profile only (and the beta profile disappears)?

I have to go round my mother's for 7pm UK time and won't be back till Tuesday night. What's the betting that as soon as I leave mine the beta will be released?

Nevertheless, '4 minutes ago' and 'soon' are the operative parts of the message.
