Greetings Commanders.

And so, Salvation is nigh…Update 13 and the conclusion of the Azimuth Saga are only a short number of hours away and we’re on the edge of our cockpit seats.
Before we get down to the business of update notes ahead of downtime and deployment, let’s recap today’s release deployment schedule.

We are still very much on track and working to the following, remaining itinerary:

Time Approximations (BST)
09:00
  • Server downtime begins for all Elite Dangerous Odyssey and Horizons players, on all platforms.
[NEW] 13:30
  • Elite Dangerous servers will be back online across all platforms.
  • Update 13 will be available.

The update notes will be delivered here in two sections within the same post.
  • The first section will be specific to Odyssey only, with the second specific to Horizons only.
Great! So without further ado, please head on over to the fancy new format of notes for your perusal. You'll find them published here: https://www.elitedangerous.com/news/elite-dangerous-update-13-notes

As usual we'll be about if you need us

Here we go! o7

Well downloaded the new launcher, logged in and shows upgrade for Odyssey, horizons etc. The problem is after selecting 'upgrade' the launcher locks up and nothing happens.
Another brilliant update ( well if the launcher is ever fixed I will find out)

Also, since mentioning spaceport names, "why the hell are those names right side up underneath the slot where you can't see them very much, and upside down above the slot where it's always visible when approaching the station?"
If this might get fixed some day?

How long did you wait ? Sometimes it takes a minute or two, but today we have some general server troubles anyway.

I left the launcher running in the background while I browsed the forums and replied above. It was still there until I started answering you. I stopped it with task manager, and restarted. Been waiting 5 minutes now. Absolutely no change in the status of the launcher in this time. Going to press return on this reply now. Giving up on logging in for this pm, might see later on tonight.

Sorry but this is the where the split starts to happen!

All console and 3.8 Horizons players are going to get are galnet articles, applicable CGs and updates which will still allow them to connect to the existing game mechanics. Anything new will only be available in Odyssey or the 4.0 Horizons client (Although it would have helped for Horizons 4.0 to be in place for this update)

That is what appears to be happening. However I could have visited several nhss sites on Monday night, but not since. So Horizons can/should be able to do what it did previously, but Fdev won't say if working as intended or not (a bug). And since I use Steam, until 4.0 is available there, no dice. I guess I have no choice but to ignore the Azimuth saga for now even though I participated previously.

You're saying that "Elite is a game to be completed, like a quest", not anyone else. Projection, again.

It wasn't projection in the first instance. If you can't be honest in discussion then there's no point in responding, unless you are just trolling? I will only answer that point as it stands by asking; is it wrong to say there isn't a quest to complete in Elite? And by that I mean, completing the game to a 'congratulations, you win' screen or somesuch.

Outlining the main event in update notes 5 hours before players find out for themselves after all of the excitement build up would be a bit of a strange play on our part, Amiga.

It seems y'all have learned from The Gnosis event. :)

Note: the event was amazing - launching from a megaship into actual danger, flying around it as it was surrounded by Thargoids, etc, etc. That was a memory. Having the event "going wrong" spoiled ahead of time was a huge crush, though.

Update 13, finally broke the game!
Link for launcher didn't work only downloading 45 Kb not the 144 Kb from frontier online store download, which caused launcher to 'lock up' when trying to upgrade.
Finally accessed upgraded Odyssey only to find my usual smooth game-play replaced by terrible lag, so much so that I could hear the narrative on the Thargoid opening scene at least 30 secs before the written text appeared.
Went back to the launcher to upgrade Horizons, clicked on button, Horizon bar turned grey, no download. Tried the suggested 'press enter' with no difference. Then tried to close launcher down to find it had ''locked up''. After accessing Task manager to end task noticed that even after closing the launcher was still running in 'Background Process' which meant I couldn't re-run the launcher until that was closed also. (something that never happened before).
So I can access Odyssey (If I don''t mind the stuttering graphics and bad lip-sync).
Cannot run Horizons or Dangerous or Arena as they ''lock' the launcher when trying to upgrade.
All drivers are up to date (in case anyone asks) and, before trying to install update 13, game ran perfectly well.
Looks to be a launcher coding issue to actually run the game then update 13 seems to have reversed all the lag issues right back to where they were months ago.

Tried to "upgrade" again. Launcher locks up still.
Tried what Jason did, downloaded fresh launcher install. Same result as before. Launcher is completely unresponsive and does not start upgrade or download fresh files.
