How do lifetime pass owner claim ED: Odyssey

[trevvert]

How do lifetime pass owner actually claim ED: Odyssey deluxe preorder bonus? In the past they gave out steam keys. I've read that we'll be given this access, but we're less than two weeks out and I haven't seen or heard any instructions.

I expect it will just show up in the launcher when it's ready for download.

I expect it will just show up in the launcher when it's ready for download.

From previous experience with Horizons, that's what I expect too.

 

[Para Handy]

I too expect that it will just become available automatically.

 

[Zeeman]

Yup, as above. It'll magically be available when ready.

Z...

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

. It'll magically be available when ready.

can only hope we can say the same of the servers
I am actually filled with dread that amazon EC2 servers will cope with a true multi player game
as I heard a developer scraped a multi player shooter after testing on ec2 and finding it "unsuitable"

 

[GJ51]

Yes

Automagically

Well Elite, even with FPS, will still have instances that limit player numbers I assume.
So I guess comparisons on some other larger scale environment FPS games is not that good here, unless they are based on same kind of instances and game engine as Elite.

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

time will tell soon enough I suppose, I am hoping with fingers crossed it copes well

 

[wenkman]

but, as that happend to me, in the laucher it appears at the bottom of the list. so you only see it if you scroll....

dumb mistake, dont let it happen to you.

 

[Elderoy]

Hullo there Do we have any news about this ?

 

[Factabulous]

there Do we have any news about this ?

Yes, it's still fine

 

[ethelred]

Patience young LEPer.

We'll get the treats tomorrow.

You'll know when because there will be a pause in "LEP EDO when?" threads.

It will be a small window of opportunity until the "OMGWTFBBQ" threads appear.

 

[STRONTIUM DOG]

Whisky Tango Foxtrot now the waiting begins omg i forgot I got tandori chicken on the BBQ brb...…………….

As a fellow LEP person, Odyssey turns up in your launcher when it's ready to download.... Oooo, downloading now

Yep, just appeared for me... and downloading... might get an hour before bed tonight, if I get to log in.

 

[Elderoy]

It doesn't work through steam :/ Does anyone know if we'll have access to steam keys ? I'd rather have the installation ran by steam in the background in the future

 

[gghick]

looking for same info. Frontier Store purchased Lifetime Pass but using launcher via Steam. Horizons had a partner key, presuming Odyssey will, too?

 

[DarkFuneral]

I have the same problems. In Steam I was able to install the update which is a little over 1Gb. In the launcher, the item to install Odyssey is grayed out and I can't do anything. My friends who bought it on Steam were already able to install and play. I own a lifetime account and bought it from Frontier back in the day. Reinstalling Elite did not help anything. Logging into the launcher without Steam doesn't help either. My Frontier account is linked to Steam. And I also played the alpha a month ago.

Select Odyssey and press enter on the keyboard instead of Install button.
