20 minutes to go!
PC - server status upgrading, downloading upgrade - 3 hours to goMan, how are you all getting to download the update? My launcher in Steam still shows servers down for the update.
Hi everyone,
Soon you'll be able to strap yourself into the cockpit of the Chieftain and explore a host of new gameplay features - Chapter One is almost here!
The galaxy servers will be down today from 9.30 AM (GMT) for approximately 9 hours. There is a chance that this could run over, so we really appreciate your patience. As usual with these updates we'll keep you as up to date as possible.
While you wait, join us for a pre-launch livestream at 2:00 PM (GMT) for a Beyond - Chapter One recap with members of the development team on YouTube here.
We'll post the changelog soon, and add update information to the thread as it comes in.
Keep an eye on our social media channels too for regular updates on the server status. We will try to respond to as many queries as possible, but we will give everyone advanced notice for when the servers come back online, and social media is your best bet for knowing when the servers are back up and running!
Thanks!
Edit: The game servers are now live!
Updated, but unable to play cos it keeps losing the connection. Grrrr.
HELP!
I'm trying to download this upgrade but I keep getting this error:
"Unhandled Exception: Access to the path
'C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous65.exe' is denied."
and then the download stops. I'm on W10 and have granted R/W access to the Users folder and all sub-folders and files.
Anyone have a clue what I need to do?
Hi Cmdr Kekkonshiki, I don't know for sure if this will fix it, or why it has happened. But you could try uninstalling Elite Dangerous and download the installer again.
You might want to back up your bindings file before uninstalling, its in here:
%APPDATA%\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
i.e.
C:\Users\My Name\AppData\Local\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings
Uninstall, delete the folders "Frontier Developments" and "Frontier_Developments" within the AppData\Local folder
Run the installer again, let it download the game and go from there.
Cheers...
