I bet they squeal like pigs when that Cobra hits them, bounce and land a few Kms away, will have to try it myself.
4.0 | Now Live

I'm not PR expert like some people here (with their glorious strategy "force all people to buy new dlc ASAP, oh, buy arx!"), but I never would say my friend, which bought HZN, tried 4.0 and liked it "ok, if you want to play with me, let's jump to old, worse (for my friend) version, or buy new dlc".
It is terrible strategy.
The easiest for FDev now is to add this hotdamn menu item to run Horizons 4.0 to Odyssey players. I would say it should happen before this thread reaches 50 pages if there is anyone clear thinking left at FDev.
Arguing in a public forum makes it everybody's business.
Maybe you could get away with that today - but in a month's time all new Horizons players will probably have only played 4.0 (why would they even install 3.8?). So you'd then both have to go back and play a game that maybe neither of you recognise if you want to team up. Very strange decision from fdev this one.
So then it would be relatively simple to set up a minimal launcher to launch Horizons 4.0 if owning Odyssey. Or even use the task manager trick to start it up. Strange that we don't get this option by default in the launchers, but there maybe some unknown reasons for this.
You want a refund for something you've been playing for a year??????
Maybe it's so they can show the shareholders that they still have a large number of downloads so they don't sell their shares and move on?
I would hesitate to suggest attempting it manually because the launcher retrieves a list of "authorized products" for the current login, and for Odyssey owners Horizons 4.0 isn't included (hence why it doesn't show up as a launch option).
Others apparently feel differently!I didnt get it from the first time. Bruce post got me to understand them
So initially i was a bit disappointed i dont get Horizons 4.0, but not to the point of throwing a tantrum on the forums
Naaah, i think your reading to much into itOthers apparently feel differently!
Some have tried it already a long time ago with no repercussions, but yes maybe it's not an advisable thing to do.
Personally I have no need at all to do it, just pointing out the possibility.
All good here, new launchers working. I can boot any account into Odyssey (OK, "Horizons 4.0" for the alts) with launchers in the main folder, and the old alt launchers still start Horizons 3.8. I just need to remember to ignore the option to install 4.0 on the old launchers.
I'm guessing that "Horizons 4.0" uses Odyssey bindings? My batch files will handle that, but it's likely to cause issues for some.

yeap, odyssey bindings and gfx options - one of the reasons i've upgraded my moved_from_xb commander to 4.0 (and since Odyssey is discounted on Frontier Store, i will get it too)
You completely missed my point. The issue here is not why FDEV isn't fitting Horizons players in Odyssey. It's the actual opposite.
Odyssey Players cannot access Horizons 4.0
Which is an issue because Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey cannot instance together, even in space where everything remains constant.
For you specifically, my earlier point from a couple pages back: The majority of the playerbase consists of adults. The ratings the game has (ESRB T, PEGI 7, etc) does somewhere between "jack" and "all." Anyone younger usually doesn't have the patience to learn this game.
Elite: Dangerous is the 4th game. The 3rd was almost 20 years ago, the first, nearly 40. Long-time players of the series are old folks now.

Trolling or just being obtuse?
The argument is that Horizons 4.0 is the future (3.8 not being updated) but EDO cannot actually launch Horizons 4.0 in order to instance with players who are running that. For some obscure reason FD have not provided EDO players with the EDH4.0 option in the launcher and whenever they have deigned to comment on this at all we just get told to get over it (I am being polite there).
