Elite Dangerous Update 14 and Beyond: Live and Legacy Modes - Elite Dangerous
Greetings Commanders. In our Access to 4.0 post from August, we mentioned that future content would only be available to players on the 4.0 framewo...
Yeah, your current legacy Horizons stuff won't transfer to Odyssey, only current Horizons V4xxx will be available, so what you have in the game won't be the same as legacy, as metathurgist says.
Just to clarify, I can still log into my regular Horizons game to team up with buddies that don't have Odyssey right? I mean, it's only if I go the Legacy Horizons route (is that it's formal name?) that I'd be on a separate account in effect? I only have Odyssey installed, it's the only version I've had in a while. However, a friend picked up the base game last year and he asked me to team up at some point... I did suggest he get Odyssey in the Steam sale (dunno if it's still cheap) but don't think he did - distracted by other games at the time.
Yes, you can log into Horizons 4.0 the current versions and play with friends who have purchased Horizons 4.0. The Legacy version is 3.8. You can't crossplay between Odyssey 4.0 and Horizons 4.0, so if you both want to land on atmospheric planets he will need to get Odyssey, but Horizons 4.0 will give him a good taste of what he will get.
Thanks for clarifying. I think I did know that once, but it's been a while since I thought about it. Horizons 4.0 has the "Odyssey" UI doesn't it? Last time I flipped between the two - both "live" at the time - Horizons was still on the older UI, so it took a moment to adjust.
Yep, Legacy has the, umm, legacy UI still, but both Horizons 4.0 and Odyssey 4.0 are identical except for the restrictions on accessing Odyssey stuff.
Just one more thing, I don't think they need to "purchase" Horizons 4.0. Everyone on PC who owns Elite has that.
Yes, this is right. A friend got ED last year but, at the time, the default install was the "Legacy" v3.8 version. Not knowing this he started to play. He then abandoned this, forcing the launcher to install the "right" version of the game, then we could play together if I selected the Horizons v4.0 version of the game. We never got round to it though. Things are coming back to me now lol.
I understand the launcher was changed to default to the "live" v4.0 version of Horizons, so any new players won't have the same issue.
Yeah that's right, I didn't mention that, all users of ED basic got a free upgrade to Horizons, basically Horizons is the lowest level game package you can buy now.
