it's not about the download, its about the installation process. I got the update on steam as well, but it wasn't installed. Thats the issue.I got the update after reloading steam earlier but this orange sidewinder issue seems specific to how steam and epic system route the traffic. Sally said they working on it, let process run its course, i'm merely pointing it out to them. In no rush to login.
Thanks a lot... now it is doin something... lets see for the outcomeFor those stuck on "Preparing for Update", go to the launchers options dropdown and uncheck "Enable cache check", then restart the launcher (force quitting if necessary) and retry the validation process from the launcher.
Launcher, top right are a bunch of pull-down menus. It's there in one of them.How do I validate game files? I'd like to try it but I dont know how.
Thanks
Isolated incident in terms of my experience. I have the update, it installed perfectly. I just can't get in game after clicking to start an open play session.it's not about the download, its about the installation process. I got the update on steam as well, but it wasn't installed. Thats the issue.
this is Yamiks material
This fits here![]()
I won't be able to play until after 7pm.Ooofft if you've got some! Wouldn't say no!!
Geforce now is using steam behind the scenes.... welcome to the steam users problemStill Orange Sidewinder since this morning with GeforceNow![]()
I think I had this problem before in EDH. You sure you go to Conflict Zones and you pick a side with whom you will fight for ? You know killing Wanted Pirates doesn't count as Combat Bonds, right ?Hi Sally,
Once you get on top of the more important stuff (like snakes), I'd really appreciate it if you kick the EDH combat bonds issue to the devs. It's been weeks now and it prevents me from unlocking the last engineers in the bubble and to part for Colonia. Though I still have to advance from master (81%) to dangerous for Jameson, but this still feels a little bit meh if combat bonds aren't counted. But as the born optimist I am, I'm hoping to go from one combat bond in the Codex to the hundreds that I've earned the last few weeks.
I asked about it last week Friday and had really hoped it got looked into. I posted links to the issue tracker last time (here is one: https://issues.frontierstore.net/issue-detail/35176), but if you search for combat bonds there are several pages. Not all the same issue, but we seem to be many Horizon players that are affected and waiting with our hats in our hands!![]()
not for me... still asksDont know if thats important, but since the patch I dont get asked "Do you want to Start Elite or Steam VR" anymore. It directly started the launcher, no questions asked![]()
Interesting......not for me... still asks

Thank you for the constant communication and for the support team to handling all the issues, from a fellow IT professional, its hard to deal with either a launch day or day of change. Love the list of UI changes! (cannot yet get in game - Orange Sidewinder so apologies if these are addressed)
Few issues/queries:
- ED launcher is displaying "Update 3 is now live!"
- Are we expecting any more changes to the ship outfitting UI, especially when it comes to equipping stored modules and their ratings for example?
- Are we going to see an improvement to the UI lighting within the ship, at the moment I am getting a headache trying to read the text because its so much darker than Horizons.
Thank you for the hard work.
