Because of reasons, I have ended up with two different commander accounts. My main one has the expansion pass, and thereby Horizons and the other one doesn't.
When I first logged in with my main commander, I got a blue Install button and was able to download Horizons [64-bit], which also made Elite Dangerous [64-Bit] available.
Now the button says Play and I can play the game ok with either option selected.
When I first logged in with my other commander, I got an orange Play button (not install) and when clicking on it, the button disappears for a couple of seconds, and then re-appears without the game starting.
I tried the "Validate Game files" option, which then did it's stuff for a while, and I was subsequently able to play the game.
However, looking in the folder :- C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\elite-dangerous-64, I see that a the program file has been changed from EliteDangerous64.exe to EliteDangerous32.exe, a new Win32 folder has been added with the game files, and all files have been deleted from the Win64 folder.
Can anyone offer an explanation as to what is going on here?
