Am I using the least version?

I wasn't able to really participate in the Beyond 3.0 Open Beta, but I did download and install it. A few days after the beta closed, I cranked ED up again and saw that the beta install version was no longer on the list of games in the launcher (as expected), but the launcher didn't try to download a new release version of Horizons either - at least not that I saw, and I was watching for it, and expecting it to take a good while, being new and all.

How do I know what version I'm running, and whether it's the latest release? The menu screens show a single line of server info in the bottom left, but nothing that looks (to me) like version info.

I have a Lifetime Expansion Pass.

Game will tell you if you are out of date. 3.0 isn't out yet, except for CMDR Thrust of Bradford, and he's mainly playing the Beta for release 5.1.

You cant run an old version. If there is a new one available, it will force you to download it.

This.
If you are actively playing the game you have the latest version.

Thanks everyone - much appreciated!

As for the version number you can find it I believe in the lower left hand corner of your splash screen.

Mine is still in wireframe graphics. Am I running the latest version?

It's all you can handle, Oss.
