wont work for me either, just keeps saying whats above. one thing i havent done is download the dlc through steam which im doing now, i downloaded the first odyssey drop through the launcher but not through steam, its the only thing i can think of as theres no other options
 
Same for me, took the steps the launcher suggested over 2 hour ago. Restarted Steam about 6 times in that time ands still can't play...
 
same. steam doesn't update it and trying to start it manually from the files just lets me play the login/check gmail for code/"Please purchase the game" rubbish.

Edit:
Nope, I didn't say rubbish. I said BOOOOOOOOLSHYT
 
I always have elite on high priority. There was a download but it was 0 bytes big, and just asked for an eula confirmation.. (lol). same problem no game.

EDIT: Starting the launcher manually works. I use frontierstore accounts though.

Same thing here. I'm in the process of checking the integrity of game files after moving the Odyssey folder away.

Edit: it worked. after moving the directory containing Oddysey, the launcher got back to working, but now I have to download everything all over again... C'mon FDev...
 
I got my launcher working via the game folder and after logging in it is doing the update, the launcher might work from steam after, but I guess only time will tell, will report back after it patches.
Thanks, just worked for me. Jesus f Christ..
 
even with checking files is not letting me launch from launcher ok opening launcher from game folder worked on steam is burked was saying upgrade and sitting on working we will see

This worked for me.

For everyone:
Go to your Steam folder, Steam\steamapps\common\Elite Dangerous and start the EDlauncher.exe
Then you should have the Upgrade button to click.

This can't upgrade the game client files from within the launcher because it's being executed thru steam and so now demands that steam apply the update thing is really amateur crap.

It's almost like they dont know how their own launcher works. Hint : The account we have thru steam does not necessarily equal the account we have certain products on.

Launching this manually is failing for me (it worked the first time i had to do this yesterday). Now it just hangs and never upgrades when you press the upgrade button when launched external from steam.

edit: (using the manual launch in folder method) It appears the manifest / update servers are extremely slow to respond ....just left it there hung for like 10 min and it suddenly woke up and updated the game (at normal very fast speed).
