Cannot Update Odyssey from Epic Games Launcher

Hi all - I joined Elite Dangerous last October when it was free on the EGS. Loved it and haven't stopped since.

When Odyssey was announced, I purchased the Alpha-access pre purchase directly from Frontier and linked it to my account. I was able to start the Frontier Launcher from Epic Games, select the Alpha, and play, no issue.

Yesterday, on launch, I was able to update directly from Epic Games and on the Frontier Launcher - Odyssey updated and I was able to play for several hours.

Today, when I start Epic Games Launcher and select Elite Dangerous, the Frontier Launcher informs me I need to update the game through Epic Games. When I back out and "Verify" the game, nothing changes. Did this at least 5 times.

I then navigated to my drive and directly started the EDLauncher.exe from my installation folder. This prompted me to log in to my Frontier account - which I did, and verified with a code - which then told me I needed to Purchase Elite Dangerous/Horizons - I note the wording there as it was the Horizons Launcher when I launched from my install folder.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Again, I purchased ED:Horizons on EGS, and Odyssey directly from Frontier.

This did work for me last evening , full reinstall of base game from EGS forced the launcher to update to the newest version.

But it looks like they released another patch this morning, and again, I am locked out of updating. I will not reinstall both games every time a patch comes out.

Frontier, what's the point of releasing the game on Epic Games Store if you don't even acknowledge the issues it has on your website? You have a whole support article for issues starting the game from Steam or Frontier, but not EGS? This is ridiculous.

Yeah. Same again. Blah.
