Yo!
After a few years and lots of frustration with other space games, I decided to give Elite another shot.
I played it some years ago, don't remember when it was.
Back then I purchased a key and activated that in Steam. Now, as I loved the ground battles on Star Citizen, I purchased Odyssey on Steam directly.
I downloaded the game, started it and the Frontier launcher opened. I created a new account as I didnt have one and linked my steam account. I restarted the launcher and was connected through Frontier with Steam linked. First thing I noticed: it said Elite Dangerous Horizons, not Odyssey right next to the big play button. I ignored it and started the game. After the hardware check then finally it said "Login error" and it threw me out of the game. Now I browsed through 20 old forum threads with links that do no longer exist but in the majority all with the same core message:
The Game itself should not have a key on steam, which is why you need to link it and that should be the trick. WELL, I got a key and I am linked, but the webpage interface says I do not own Elite Dangerous.
I'm not trying to deactivate Odyssey and re-try everything with only the base game, but it seems like Frontier does not accept my Key-based Steam game. Also when trying to activate the key on their end it says the key is already in use.
Any other suggestions?
