Your internet is not the problem, once you put the request in it is all on frontiers end and they have a big queue to go through it seems.

Imagine like you made a online takeaway order and you get the progress page on the delivery, thats what the copy in progress page is pretty much.
 
@jayfury069 your internet speed has little to do with it. The wait time depends on how large the queue is. When this first started it only took like seconds to complete. Now, there's a lot more people entering into it.

I’m glad that the console profile copy process is live. Would I be able to access my save if I purchase this game on Steam? I plan on playing this on a Steam Deck in the future.
 
I set up another account with a different email address that I want the console copy to go to. Just wondered if I could sign into my existing copy of EDH with the new email and password
Copy the launcher in the same folder and rename it to something meaningful. Run the copy, it will ask for credentials. Use the new ones. No need to log off from the original.

I don't think your internet connection will matter too much. I am guessing the variation in queue time has something to do with the amount of data our profiles have. I started the transfer process before some that have now completed the process, but I do have a lot of in game time and done a lot in game with that time so maybe it's just that????

Apologies if I am being incredible dumb, where in the FAQ does it cover if you already have a PC commander to be wiped?

I am still waiting for the fleet carrier to decommission on the PS5, so not actually logged into the transfer page yet but, the links to further FAQs just repeat what we have seen before?

Anyone who has an existing PC account can you post the lowdown?

Is it just a case of at step 2 using the existing Frontier account? Will I be able to use my existing PC commander name if I delete it?

Yours in grateful anticipation confused
 
Greetings Commanders,

We’re glad to confirm that the console profile copying process to PC is now available for all console players! Anyone who would like to copy their profile over can check out the following links:
We would like to remind anyone interested in copying their profile that the following elements will not be copied over:
  • ARX Balance. Please ensure that you purchase desired customisations before you complete the transfer. Any unspent Arx will remain on your original console profile
  • Fleet Carriers and their contents. Please decommission these ahead of going through the process so that your resulting Credit balance will be included.
  • Your Commander name if it is already in use by another PC player. You will be given the chance to choose a new name as part of the process
  • Squadron membership
  • Friends lists, Block lists and Private Groups
  • Current mission progress
Thanks as always for your patience and support. Please encourage any friends you know who play on console to consider copying their profile to PC! This option comes at no additional cost, includes a PC copy of Elite Dangerous, and your original console profile will remain available for play.

If you have any issues or need support during the process please contact our Support Team.

Quick question - will carrier decommissioning be sped up from the usual timeframe for console friends?
 
Okay, so it was a bit slower than originally expected / hoped but ... seemless! Probably shouldn't be this excited to be able to get out and walk-around my Corvette but dammit, I've waited this long ... :D

Everything looking good - even my CG-specific weapons and modules have turned up with the expected double-engineered fun on them. So now I just need to repeat the tour of local systems to pick up pre-engineered Odyssey suits/weapons again.

Top work to all involved from my perspective! 👍
