No. Wait. It's 10 minutes. Much better. Woot!
Can you see which part of your system is bottlenecking? Are there settings you can increase without any further performance loss?CPU: AMD FX 6100

At least for Hutton you get a free Anaconda. But here...Mine still says longer than the trip to Hutton.....
Does this mean that a system with only 8GB won't be able to run Odyssey ?Minimum Specs (Low Settings at 720p)

I have the same issue with an extra on top: there is simply no PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 folder anywhere in my appdata. I have Frontier Developments folders and one of them has this. I have tried installing Odyssey 2 times so far (3 hours down the drain so far), ran out of space both times. How do I mlink a folder which does not seem to exist...?Thanks Alec and SystematicChaos - I had exactly the same problem. Main game installed on SSD on C: drive but want Alpha installed somewhere else.
To be SUPER explicit with how to set up the link ('cos sometimes you have to scratch your head a bit over the syntax )
- Main game is installed on C:\Users\sinhedgie\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\ (note I'm using the FDev launcher, will be different for steam i suspect)
- I want the alpha files to be installed on my D: drive
So I create a folder D:\EliteDangerousAlpha\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64
Then I opened an elevated CMD prompt (i.e. run as administrator)
Then I ran the following cmd.....
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /J C:\Users\sinhedgie\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 D:\EliteDangerousAlpha\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64
Again - sure others have figured this out if they needed to, just wanted to give an explicit example
Then ran the installation and the alpha installed on the d: drive.
It won't show up there. You'll see it in the Elite launcher.cannot install Odyssey...the game does not show up in my Steam library, and in store it says it IS in my library...this sucks.
It told me something like 4 months at one point.Well, my download time dropped from 20 hours to TWO DAYS.....
And if you still don't see it there (like I and many others have encountered), you should make sure your Frontier account and Steam account are linked.It won't show up there. You'll see it in the Elite launcher.
same here waited and waited and then somewhere down the line I realized my account is not linked to steam, went through process, Alpha popped in launcher instantlyAnd if you still don't see it there (like I and many others have encountered), you should make sure your Frontier account and Steam account are linked.
Once I did that, it showed up and I was able to get in!
To do this, on the launcher I clicked on 'Options' near the top and then 'Log Out Machine'. After that it automatically kicked me to the linking screen so I could link to my Steam account, and then Odyssey showed up on my launcher.
Did that. It came up with a warning that they usually dont refund over 14 days, but I sent saying I bought the wrong one. 2 hours later, refunded, so I rebought...looks like a few minutes left till Sync is doneProbably just refund the pre-order and re-buy with Alpha access.
Seems to be running fine on my i3-4160, thats with 32 Gig Ram and my GTX 1060. Im sure the 1060 is the workhorse here, but so glad it's running. Looking forward to more.I was shocked when it ran MSFS. Takes a while to load but it does the trick. I've seen that i5 minimum before, when I first used my oculus rift, but it worked fine but obviously using low end settings. I'll reply with how it runs in case others have similar machines.
