Return to Elite on PC

You can ONLY transfer the wealth of your other Commander to another platform. You CAN'T transfer your ranks/items/etc.

Once transfer is completed, your original Commander on the XBOX will be DELETED. Also this is a ONE TIME move and can't be undone.

Hope this helps!

No worries!! :)

I did the transfer last week from PS4 to XBox so figured I could offer some insight (XBox to PC or PS4 to PC is the exact same).

My old PC was a quad core (i5) 2.4ghz with 8gb ram. The GFX card was the onboard Intel display (2gb). Elite ran on it but it was a real tear-jerker.

I gave Elite a go and it loads a blank black window that doesn't do anything. Any ideas on what's gone wrong?

Edit: I left it and got this message:

I uploaded your image to my imgur account (very handy and free):

There is probably a workaround for this (try disabling active scripting in internet options). I'm on win10 so I can't really offer much advice on how to solve this, it may be a recent change to the launcher.

There is another option you can do. Buy a secondary account. Best to wait for a sale. Then you can do exploration on one account while combat and trading on the other account.

try this has windows 10 doesn't need flash anymore.or windows 10 doesn't work with flash

f you get this error message it can be a bit of a puzzler – You return to your computer after half an hour and you get this as a warning box, even though everything was fine when you left it. What’s happened?
Well firstly you have probably just installed the latest Adobe Flash update, yes? Then your screensaver tried to kick in. The problem is your screensaver needs Flash. Of course it could happen if you have tried to use a Flash reliant programme. The reason is the Adobe update renames the Flash programme. Now if you Google this problem you’ve probably been taken to any number of sites telling you to uninstall stuff, down load special fixer programmes etc. These are all over complicated. Below is the easy method:

First you need to go to the folder with Flash in. On Windows XP (and I think earlier) it is usually
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
In Windows 7 it may be in
• C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash\
In there is a file called Flash[##].ocx where the ## are version number (e.g. it may be called Flash10g.ocx)
What ever it is called COPY and then paste into the same folder. This will be given a name with Copy in it.
Rename the copy to
Flash.ocx
Problem solved, as the computer now has both names it can find. That simple – Find ocx file, copy, paste, rename.

If you decide to upgrade the CPU and drop in a GPU (like a used GTX750 Ti or a GTX1050 Ti), you will have to also upgrade the power supply, which is rated at 300w. Even the bus-powered cards I just mentioned will push the 75w provided by the PCI bus. Add in a quad-core CPU and you'll Max out power draw easily - a C2Q 9550 pulls 95w at full load on its own.

That's a problem with upgrading older builds: unless you happen the have the parts lying around (I'm also a hoarder), the costs can creep up, to the extent that it's not really worth it on many occasions. For instance, I want to upgrade my boy's i5-3570K box, but the motherboard is on a business chipset (B77) which limits RAM speeds and voltages, making overclocking option very limited and capping RAM speeds. The only real upgrade option is a 3770K, which still sells for more than £100 here. No, I didn't build the original rig!

I played the combat demo - got 7 fps.

Well you know it works ;)

The training scenarios use an earlier version of the game I think, and it may be that their minimum requirements are lower. If you run the game in borderless window (instead of fullscreen) you should be able to use task manager and other apps like GPU-Z to establish how much of each resource (CPU, storage, RAM & GPU) is being used, and which is the current bottleneck.

So for example if you run the game (at 7fps) and your CPU is up near 100% but the GPU is idling you know you will see an improvement from a faster CPU (and/or one that can run more simultaneous threads).

I don't think you're ever going to get a smooth experience from that motherboard but it may be enough to persuade you to throw some money into a more capable PC. Or it may persuade you that console life is the way forward ;)

Thanks Riverside!

I've had another idea...

Install a Windows 10 Virtual Machine and play Xbox Elite from that. I guess it's worth a go.

tbh I like mucking about with old hardware and the idea of trying to work out how to get a modern game to work on an old PC has me intrigued ;)

But ultimately a socket 775 PC is always going to be a dead-end. It could run older titles just fine but ED needs fundamentally modern things like a 64bit OS and a fairly beefy graphics card & multi-thread processor. Unless you have that kind of PC already a console is probably always going to be the path of least resistance to easily accessible cheap gaming. Where a PC comes into it's own is in going above & beyond what a console can do.
