How do you do that?
The biggest problem that I have at present is, I can't find any of the mission objectives.
I've arrived at two so far, and ran out of oxygen in my suit during both, roaming around these "bases" trying to figure out what I'm supposed to do, to complete the mission objective, because there are no mission markers telling you where to go or what to do.
Ah, okay. I had hoped to experience the new planetary tech - but okay, I can wait (if anything, this game has taught me that).
That was FD's initial stance. Thankfully they came back on it, and now the ship-based action will be available in VR and the on-foot based part in flat (though indeed projected to a screen while you are in VR, if you wish to play it that way). I had just missed the part about the alpha not supporting VR yet.

No worries. I should know better than to try to do anything on release day
Just tried again and there it is
could you please tell us your system specs hardware drivers and windows version a lot of us are have crash to desktop might helps find solutions
Release days are the WORST! The anxiety, the wants, the urge to have it and try it, and the frustration, which ends in full out rage over not getting it..AAAArhg. LOL. Anyway... still waiting for my ' "sync" to finish. Says only 1 hr left now. bhwaaaahNo worries. I should know better than to try to do anything on release day

I was thinking earlier that perhaps they need to have alpha testers sign an affidavit or some form of consent form, followed by a 20 questions that have to be answered correctly to 90% or you're out. One of the questions would be: "Is this a finished product without any bugs or features missing? Yes No." Wrong answer disqualifies you.1.Ask for refund
2. Go play something else
3. Happy life
Crashed twice? SpaceX would call that a successful test!!!
game runs like absolute no matter what settings i tinker with, 20fps max indoors on a 980ti
also been shot by every single player i've met so far, but that's not the frontier's fault

Thanks Alec and SystematicChaos - I had exactly the same problem. Main game installed on SSD on C: drive but want Alpha installed somewhere else.
To be SUPER explicit with how to set up the link ('cos sometimes you have to scratch your head a bit over the syntax
)- Main game is installed on C:\Users\sinhedgie\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\ (note I'm using the FDev launcher, will be different for steam i suspect)
- I want the alpha files to be installed on my D: drive
So I create a folder D:\EliteDangerousAlpha\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64
Then I opened an elevated CMD prompt (i.e. run as administrator)
Then I ran the following cmd.....
C:\WINDOWS\system32>mklink /J C:\Users\sinhedgie\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64 D:\EliteDangerousAlpha\PUBLIC_TEST_SERVER_64
Again - sure others have figured this out if they needed to, just wanted to give an explicit example
Then ran the installation and the alpha installed on the d: drive.
Then again, people pay extra to alpha test so I guess FD gets what they, err, get for.I was thinking earlier that perhaps they need to have alpha testers sign an affidavit or some form of consent form, followed by a 20 questions that have to be answered correctly to 90% or you're out.

True. They get paid in dollars and salt.
