Quick advice please - how to start elite with my vive

So I just got my vive... I purchased ED as a kickstart backer and have it installed but when I go into the vive store, its telling me i have to purchase it...

Any ideas what I need to do?

I have done a quick search and found lots of posts but none the same as my problem.

Thanks
 
You can just run it and select HMD not via steam. You don't need it in steam but you can request a code via the FD site under your login.
Using steam requires re downloading into steam.

Have you steam installed and configured your Vive ?

If you have you should be able to launch the Elite launcher, start the game and go into graphics settings and select HMD from there.

Restart the game and you should be good to go :)
 
For the Rift you dont need a steam code, as you can launch the regular Elite launcher, while having the Rift Store app open. If Elite is set to the right HMD settings, it starts in VR.

You find the HMD settings in the options menu of Elite under 3D. I use "HMD with headphones" settings. I hope, this helps you, as i have no experience with the Vive.
 
Requesting a code from frontier is specifically if you require to run ED from within Steam.
Otherwise as others have stated just run it from launcher as normal.
