Launcher is not launching the game

Not a server issue. You clearly don't understand that text.

Same as others. Launcher client not working.
Its quite possibly a server issue, something that is affecting the launchers verification checks with the server. I have it on good authority that the mini-ed launcher has no issues launching the game.
 
I wonder what the launcher communicates with? I wonder how all our launchers broke last night while powered off?
Not last night, about a couple hours ago. I've been playing for six hours without an issue. Kicked me off about two hours ago, I did some e-mails and grabbed some food, then couldn't play.
 
I was getting orange sidewinder error on loading in with the spinning ship.
I uninstalled from my steamdeck , reinstalled and now am getting the same. on menu press play it waits a few seconds then nothing.

I checked the files and it came back with "incorrect manifest checksum"

Where's that, then?

Edit: too bloody complicated:

##### Windows

Either configure the Epic client and use the provided Bootstrap exe or use [legendary] to launch the game



* Epic Client

1. Delete or rename EDLaunch.exe (e.g. EDLaunch.exe.bak)

2. Copy and rename MinEdLauncher.Bootstrap.exe to EDLaunch.exe. This step is required because

Epic doesn't allow changing the game's startup application. If someone knows how to modify the

game's manifest file (EliteDangerous/.egstore/*.manifest), this could be avoided. Please open

a [new issue] if you can help with this. This also means any time the game updates or you verify

your game files, you'll have to replace EDLaunch.exe with MinEdLauncher.Bootstrap.exe.

3. Update your launch options to auto start your preferred product

1. Click Settings in the Epic Games Launcher

2. Scroll down to the Manage Games section and click Elite Dangerous

3. Check Additional Command Line Arguments

4. Set the value to /autorun /autoquit /edo

4. Launch your game as you normally would in Epic

* Legendary



Use legendary's override-exe argument via windows terminal



legendary.exe launch 9c203b6ed35846e8a4a9ff1e314f6593 --override-exe MinEdLauncher.exe /autorun /edo /autoquit
