Odyssey Launcher for 19th May

[apolloz]

I've noticed that the Odyssey Launcher is not showing up in the Elite launcher when run from Steam.

Does anyone else see the Option?

You know it's not the 19th yet, right?

Yes of course, but frontier in their live stream last week were telling us to ignore the odyssey launcher as they added it early in preparation so was wondering if others had it.

I'd imagine that the launcher was uodated to make it able to cope with Odyssey, but the actual choice of what to display in the pick list is transferred from the game servers/steam each time you open the launcher.
It'll pop up at the appropriate moment...

From what I understand, it only appeared briefly for a limited time, by afternoon GMT that same day it had gone, or something along those lines.

There was a forum thread regarding it, in the stream they were stating to ignore it as the topic had come up.

At least that's my take on it, as a pre-purchaser of Odyssey I've not seen it myself, but then I don't actively take notice of these things when I go to play the game (usually just go straight to Horizons via Steam) and I didn't log in until the evening that day.

It was removed a couple hours later.

OK its tomorrow now. Any sign?

It's almost like there's no point in fdev putting out a schedule at all

It's the one time that Brits have control over a release rather than all those US souls with weird release times.

I think you are way too early to ask. It's 1930 hours 18.MAY Eastern time. The allotted time for servers to come back up is 1200 hours, 19.MAY Eastern time.

Which has nothing to do with anything.

Frontier is a UK company and is +5 on you - which made it 12:30 on the 19th in proper time

And I was up until well past midnight ...​

Must've encountered technical issues.
