Elite Dangerous | Update 13 Notes

4th reload of the launcher, this is probably the cause... ostensibly the update was launched before the launcher was updated 🤷‍♀️

Though for future reference, how do I validate files through the launcher? I don't use steam for Elite.
I don't use steam either. I downloaded & installed the latest launcher but that was after upgrading Odd.

There is an option to validate files in the launcher menus, I have active scripting disabled in internet explorer settings so the menus don't work on my PC but right-clicking on my email address at the top of the launcher gives me a menu that includes the validate files option. It will check the files for the version you have highlighted in the bottom list.

Validating files fixes any issues with the game install, including partial upgrades.
 
If anyone missed the cutscene or simply wants to rewatch it you can now enjoy it on our YouTube channel!
Obvious spoilers if you watch it here.
Is there no way to trigger it again ingame?
I watched it in vr, which I enjoyed but would of liked the option to watch it again @4k on a large screen.

Edit - nevermind ;)
It makes no difference ingame or on youtube :)
 
- When will a change to the demonstrably superior quality DX12 or Vulkan renderers be made? Is such a change at least being investigated? The jaggies are killing me, man.

While Vulkan support for Elite would be awesome (speaking as a Linux user, it would mean I don't need to use a compatibility layer that translates DirectX to Vulkan 😂), it's not a magic bullet that makes games look better, including anti-aliasing. That work needs to be addressed by the devs separately, Vulkan or not ^^ I think I'd much rather see them put effort into implementing proper anti-aliasing rather than move the game's renderer to Vulkan, since changing the graphics API is a much bigger and more time consuming task.
 
Hello @sallymorganmoore


My Horizons-Account (on Epic) is after update 13 on Version 3.8.
There is no way to change to 4.0.

I restarted Epic and ED-Launcher, but it didn't help.

Have you an answer? Or does V4.0 for Horizons coming Later?

Well this is awkward.

Hello! o7
As we outline in the recent post about 4.0 moving forward, the option is estimated to come in the weeks following Update 13 with more details to be shared closer to the time.
Hope this helps!
 
This. Somehow I survived the attack (unarmed and, frankly, unwilling to fight these beings) but I didn't even know I was under attack until my hull was like, less than 75 and then the scout(?) finally swooped into view.
;) similar here, explorer Phantom unarmed, no weapons, flew to look at the planet, unknown frameshift anomoly, then im under attack, shutdown and slowly dead.
All good.
 
I was already in the concourse when I logged out last night. I loaded in a broken red lights flashing crippled tangled mess, fires and sparks going off everywhere. Couldn't move, crouch jump ...Nothing. Cool though. Then after 5 mins my air ran out, then died, at the rebuy screen my Vulture was costing zero to redeploy. Then I found myself on a pad. launched and got the hell out of there as a huge energy burst appeared and the goids (well one biggie) came in for lunch. Got killed on my escape, and reappeared after the rebuy back at Wyrd. Very cool.
That sounds awesome - apart from the not being able to move so you couldn't even try to escape...
 
just to confirm: there is no update regarding anti aliasing, right? is it being worked on? i once again started up odyssey after the update but no matter what i do, the aa (not sure it deserves that name) hurts my brain and does it's best to try and fry my gpu (no matter what settings i use). i'm no graphics snob, but jittery edges that move all over the place are something that just ruins all immersion. and yes, i tried a lot of work arounds for some time now. nothing really does the job.
 
Did you have any Guardian tech? I had an FSD booster and it definitely didn't fly away peacefully...
Yes! I too had an FSD booster (only) BUT it was rendered inoperable as soon as I logged in, like I got a slew of COVAS alerts as soon as I got in the game - you know how when you stack 20 missions and get a message alert about each of them in... rapid succession - like that but with damage announcements. then it took a good 45 seconds to a minute for the Thargoid to appear as I'm wondering what's going on. I also never got the initial cutscene, so 🤷‍♀️
