Use the Blue launcher - that launches Horizons

So we keep the two different versions? Sure, I can see both in my Steam games list, but I thought things would all be put together. And that doesn't seem to be the case as it is now.

The store page for Elite Dangerous: Horizons has been removed. Clicking on the Discussions and Community Guides, available when you have Elite Dangerous: Horizons selected in the Library, causes the default store page to be displayed.

When I check the Elite: Dangerous entry in my Library, I see the ED : Horizons Season Pass added as a DLC. But as said, that does not lead me to have access to Horizons through this game link. This should get fixed.

*Mod hat off

Loyalty: when you pay 2-3 times more than some random dude pays during a Christmas sale.
And also loyalty is when a random dude gets some special skins and bobbleheads along with the game copy for the same price you paid. Why don't we get them? Because we are loyal.
Basically, when I compare my ED game copy to the copy of friend of mine, I see that I paid around €50 for OP Cobra MK4 and shiny golden Asp, which I will almost never stare at because the game is 1st person.
Thanks FD.

You also paid for at least a couple months worth of gameplay before your friend (or more, depending on when he/she actually buys or if you played the game before Horizons). Playing the game earlier, rather than waiting to play later, also has an important value that you need to factor in.

As I remember it the plan is for some early ship paint jobs (Eagle pack - Tactical, Sidey Pack - Military) and one of the bobbleheads. It's items you can currently purchase online but ones that new players might want.

hi

so just to confirm..... kick starter season pass owners get all of this stuff too/?

if so, very nice :D

edit.,... ah ok just found it... not for kickstarters then. oh well never mind.... nice skin at least :)

Hmm I question this to please. So I have both games on steam and I always open horizons to play.

1 / will I still have the option to play horizons via steam from my installed games list?

2/ If not opening elite dangerous from installed games on steam will this log me into horizons?

This is important as I will not have a lot of time to play later and done want to spend play time trying to work this out.

Tomorrow I intend to copy my key bindings and hud colour files. Then uninstall both steam games. Then re-install. This should clear some space and make it more clean.
 
Happy to see than when i ve purchase Horizon i've include the season pass on it :)

Happy to get the mk IV (able to get all space ships right now)

It's the first time for me a receive a free paintjob , i think my account is eligible but my question is

How can i claim it and use on my spaceship ? No mention on my store account, no avaibility on game for my spaceship ?

Thanks for a answers

So let's say I'm on Steam, it's Dec 2016 and Elite Dangerous: Clouds Unleashed has just arrived:

Scenario 1: I have ED now, skipped Horizons and want to buy S3. I guess Horizons won't be in shop anymore and buying S3 will get me both seasons?

Scenario 2: I have Deluxe edition bought summer 2016 (ED + H) and now I want S3. I guess I buy S3 DLC. Won't this be "a problem" since people already "have" deluxe edition in library and store page now says Deluxe comes with S3?

Thanks for clarifying :)






We will have more information and news on the future season passes closer to the time. :)

Thanks,

Zac


This is what I was getting at. If you stated that all DLC will be included in the Deluxe Edition, therefore buying it now would be cheaper than buying the LEP when it was offered. Now, unless you bundle it differently, with a new bundle, I would not have a problem with this at all. But since you stated all the DLC would be added to the Deluxe Edition, that's a slap to those who bought the LEP in Beta and after before it was pulled from the store on September 14th, 2015.
 
I have both games on Steam (ED and ED-H)
The launchers are separated but since today when i launch ED, there is an option to select which game i want to play.

I will try to uninstal ED-H and see if i can still get into ED-H with ED launcher (Steam).

You clearly don't understand.

The CURRENT Deluxe bundle includes ED and Horizons.

As new Seasons are released, the bundle will be updated to include those new Seasons, but I'm pretty sure the PRICE of it will go up as well.

You don't expect Frontier to sell all the Seasons for the current Deluxe price, do you?

I am hesitating to uninstal it.

I think ED-H pass lead you to DLC and instal ED-H.
Which lead you to have both games with ED launcher and ED-H launcher
Both can start ED-H.

Im talking about Steam only.

Well uninstalled ED-H (Local) on Steam and i am still able to get into ED-H with ED launcher in Steam.

- ED-H is updated in ED folder of Steam.

- Desktop shortcut do not launch the correct client, stilll to ED only.

You can re-create a desktop shortcut with right-mouse button on the launcher in Steam folder.
But it is not recognized as Steam Game in friend list if you use that shortcut.

[Updated, sorry for the misleading]
