ED on Epic Games

I also linked my epic game account but I already had elite dangerous arena. So when I launch it via epic game I only have access to arena ...

so, how do I run the normal version of elite dangerous?

regarding this login issue, I checked the network logs and the only error I see is this:
{00:07:56GMT 24.239s} Webserver request failed: code 419, details 'mhGpLre2nRj4C2gCP4tMAYAEr5Bw0LcyZLFx65sTVnuXgZBwv8GCzJ8DXfeWao2iv2EdASg='

Does that mean anything to anyone?
 
I see "LOGIN FAILURE" and "LOGIN LOST" after launching game....

Same issue here, I guess we can only hope that they have been working a fix today and soon it will be playable. I've been trying to troubleshoot all day and I haven't found anything useful. So I guess we can only hope that they (ED) has a fix for the game soon.
 
I did it!


How to play elite if you already have an established elite in Steam or from the frontier website.
1. Launch the launcher of the installed game. In the launcher, select - Exit on this computer
2. If you entered the browser on your computer under your account and remember the password, then log out on the site too
3. Now start the game at Epics. If you did everything correctly, you will be prompted to create an account and link the game.
There is one nuance here. If you bought a game on the incentive or on the frontier website to some e-mail, and the same e-mail is in the epic launcher, then there may be binding problems! Because the game is not linked to an account, but to an e-mail!
Try to have a different e-mail in the epic launcher
4. The game bought in Epic store - can only be launched from the Epic launcher. Otherwise, it will not work.
5. In order not to keep a bunch of installed games on your computer - you can enter your old account through the launcher launched through Epic. Just log out and log in with your old account.
The main thing is not to check the box to remember the password! Otherwise, you will not be able to enter the epics account later until you log out

Friend, I have the same problem. I wrote in support - they said they knew about the problem and were trying to solve it faster.

I've never seen another games with that much difficulties to just "link" an account... And btw, just link my Epic account was an horrible things to do because there is so many bug.
And now, can't connect to the server... What a great "free to play" launch for a game :')
 
Ik krijg dit bericht Failed to synchronise time with server. The application will now exit. This is most likely to be a temporary network or server issue. Please check your connection to the Internet. If you have not run the launcher for a long time you should also check for a newer version in case this one has been superseded

Managed to get into the game on the 3rd attempt, but the only thing I can do is spend my ARX. I can't communicate with the mission servers, and I can't undock, either.
 
I HAVE FOUND A WAY TO PLAY THE GAME
if you have installed the game, try to find the game files. these should be in your designated folder where all the games from the epic games launcher are. then go to /EliteDangerous/Products/elite-dangerous-64/ and open the application file EliteDangerous64 this should start the game. :)

Edit: this might not work and tell you to start the game via launcher/update the game.... i do not know how to fix this and if this happens to you you'll be better off just waiting for the devs to fix whatever is causing so many new players to be unable to play
