Beta ended - so how do we remove beta from our computers ??
- Thread starter valbarr
- Start date
Yes go to your Elite dangerous folder and find products subfolder. There should be a folder named similar to public test server or smth like that if i am not mistaken. Remove that you remove the beta; BUT you might want to hold onto those files and overwrite your live build folder on patch day which may shorten your patching process significantly.
Be warned tho 'cos i had problems doing that on some of the previous builds, you still may have to dl the whole thing.

This is correct
When the live update comes the launcher will check the Beta files to see if any can be used
I always wait until after the live release to clear the beta files
the problem is, none of this data gets cleaned up once it's no longer needed.
You have to manually go in and delete stuff, which is not necessary since the update process should do that for you if it was coded to do so - which it isn't.

My ex used to tell me that not everyone could be as smart as me, and that my expectations of others in that regard were often too high.
(And I'm a cool cat, not some nerdly elitist or anything.)
So, it does go away after the live release?
Well I wouldn't.
In the past, the beta files have been auto-removed. I'm not sure of the timeframe, but I've never deleted them and the old beta files aren't on my drive anymore.
Luckily, I don't need to worry about such things anymore: I have 2 TB of SSDs and a 3 TB hard drive. Progress is great! My first PC only had 2 floppies (and I did real programming on it). My first hard drive was only 20 MB.

This, and the subsequent smaller download to the new live version seemed to be the case for me.
It's not broken, just leave it alone. Maybe it will 'fix' itself

I don't seem to have that icon.
Controls never reset for me since I am playing. But you are not the only one with that issue as far as I know. I also backupped my control files to better be safe than sorry.
For those that haven't, it might be worth taking a backup of your 2.4 control settings. They're in %localappdata%\Frontier Developments\Elite Dangerous\Options\Bindings if you're on PC and have a standard installation.
