Why is it impossible to log onto the game this evening?

Yet again the server status shows as 'ok' but there's an 'orange sidewinder' error message at the end of a long wait. Plenty of people are moaning on Steam about this, but it doesn't seem to be getting a mention here. Have you all given up expecting the game to work?
 
 
My orange sidewinder is different from that one ;-)

But seriously, I've only been getting it for the last 2 hours, so it's not a case of 'still' getting it for me...
 
I am getting this since yesterday afternoon. It's evening here now.
I guess I won't get to spend my weekend in space...
 
My hotfix update failed twice with a crash in the launcher - so I reinstalled the game clean - then I just got the Orange sidewider - but only in Odyssey, when I loaded Horizons ( and fixed all the keybinding that got screwed again from coping back my backup ) then I was able to dock at a station - after that I was then able to load into Odyssey.
Unforutunately I had no time to play.
Now I have time to play - and there is a new update - oh crap - here we go again, the launch just hung for 10mins or so saying 'preparing update' - so killed it and now I'm updating via Steam. I have no confidence in Fdev any more to actually provide a game that's even slightly playable.
 
weird, my steam EDO had no issues with the launcher or the hotfixes

I have yet to try the Epic EDO... i might hold it for a while...
