CMDRs if you know what trouble those can cause together, you can stop reading, just tell your experiences, otherwise a little story, any my questions:
I started my elite dangerous journey when i saw it is free in the Epic Games Store.(I just not learned fast enough to see the need to a 2nd account, to secure one more in time)
Today i watched a "random" twitch streamer, who ran a giveaway, and as lucky as i am, i won an Elite Dangerous Steam Key.
As i searched how it is possible to have both used, i found official guides ( https://customersupport.frontier.co...-AppConfig-Client-Log-Update-Log-Game-Folder- ) & ( https://customersupport.frontier.co.uk/hc/en-us/articles/360017685519?input_string=elite+dangerous:+multiple+account-+management+specifics), but i still have questions to be answered:
As the first source mentions, a lot of files and folders are going to a seperate location depending if we use Steam, or Epic. Those directories all that matter? (I know, seperate frontier accounts for seperate commanders + if these would be from one source [standalone or steam or epic], a simple account shift would be enough)
I found only one directory for the "player journail". I expecting both installation would use the same file.
If it happens in series (one client/intallation working at a time), can it cause any conflict in case of i having problems, and the problemsolving support request access to this file?
If i maybe one day would like to use both version at the same time, can i run into any kind of trouble (other than my PC not being able to run both versions/instlments at the same time, just because of lack of power), i mean mostly to the programs using same files somewhere, while running?
If the player journal is the only thing what can cause a conflict (beinng used by both instalmet, even in series), can i in some way redirect one or both instalment, to generate/use the journail from an other directory, or that path is hardcoded, and my best bet to use a seperate windows-user profile for the best overal results?
How these changing if is would like to be a good boy, and use EDMC-like third party tools, what read game data, and uploads to be used by the community?
Thank you for your patiente, and help!
PS.:
Any recommendation how to live with 2 accounts?
PS2.:
I mostly find out standalone multi account topics, or steam version, or combined... Steam+epic not yet met with my eyes...
PS3.: I would like to seperate the 2 journeys from the "must have" seperate commanders, up to all the thirdparty log-accounts, unless there is a ponint in the middle where it is -by experience- not worth the seperation (e.g. EDSM discoveries + pathing playback maps, etc)
