Hello
I have over 2200 hours in ED (with Horizons). A few weeks ago I reinstalled Win 7 x64, installed all (latest) drivers, Steam, all my games - everything.
After not having played ED for several weeks, I fire it up only to find that 1) the launcher now takes absolute ages to open, and 2) I can can play only 'vanilla' ED. When I try to launch ED Horizons, it starts to launch, opens the 1st splash-screen - and then exits without any warnings or error messages.
I have tried the following:
a) Verified all Steam game files
b) Checked that both Steam and the Frontier store show that yes - I do indeed own the Horizons expansion.
c) Checked through the first 20 or so pages on the Frontier forums, trying to find posts about my or similar problems, and trying any suggested solutions. None have worked so far.
d) Checked my login details in the launcher - it's the same account as I ever had
e) Closed all other apps (including antivirus) while I try to launch the game
While in the 'vanilla' version, I have turned down all graphics settings to 'med' so that they will be in effect when to launch Horizons. Still won't launch successfully.
The only hardware changes are new hard drives (this is why I reinstalled everything). All other hardware is exactly the same as it was. Same OS. Same accounts.
I haven't noticed any unusual behavior in any other games / apps.
Any suggestions?
