I may have made a mistake, but I just purchased ED Commander's pack a 2nd time through Steam with the intent of setting up a 2nd commander. But, I only see 1 set of CD keys. Not sure what I should do. I know how to setup a 2nd commander without having to install the game twice, so I was hoping this wouldn't be a problem through Steam. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.
2 ED Account through Steam
- Thread starter Rekrapt
- Start date
There isn't a CD-Key with purchases through steam any more - it changed in April. If you already play through your steam account then you need to get / make a new steam account and get them to transfer the new purchase to that steam login. Pain innit?
Pls bear with me as I'm a bit confused (been that way since 1949! LOL). For the second account, do I log on to Frontier from the secondary Steam account or my primary Steam account?; Can I copy the secondary activated ED.exe to the primary. I have 2500 hrs on the primary and often go on looooong exploration journeys of 500 random jumps from Jameson Memorial. I'd like to use the second account to do community activities. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. ( Why Frontier cannot just get Steam to allow multiple purchases for its fans is beyond me.)
You need to be logged-in to the Steam account for the edition of E D that you want to play.
(There is an option with a version bought on Steam before April this year to run the game directly from the "EDLaunch.exe" file without even being logged-in to Steam but I don't want to chance confusing you and that cannot be done with versions bought on Steam after 25th April.)
