Downloading the client, I can log in to the current version happily but it wont even start installing the 2.0 beta.

i used the launcher from https://twitter.com/Frontier_Help

It added my Beta 2.0 access.

I can see the beta access, it just wont kick off the download.

I think it is just swamped. My download is the slowest ever and I have work in an hour bah

If you see the 32-bit client in your launcher you can breathe a sigh of relief. This is the normal version of Elite Dangerous as the game has always been 32-bit.

We will be upgrading Elite Dangerous to take advantage of 64-bit architecture with the forthcoming release of Elite Dangerous: Horizons. The base game will remain 32-bit should you not wish to upgrade to Horizons.

Once Horizons is released all Commanders purchasing Horizons will be able to make use of the 64-bit version of the game.

You have to buy the expansion to get a 64-bit client. Well that's a bit ****.

All downloaded and we are "can't connect to frontier servers"

You need to buy a vehicle bay in Outfitting and then you can buy Scarabs to put in it. However there 's an issue with the build deployment that might mean you're playing the wrong version - we're looking into it now.

I've just got Elite Dangerous in the past few days, are there any recommended videos I should watch to help out? After the tutorials they just dump you in a space station and leave you to fend for yourself

The game works perfectly happily as a 32bit executable, I suspect that until they switch fully over to 64bit there will be little to no gains.

So I bought my planetary kit, the vehicle bay, and the srv...now how do I find which planets to land on.

Trial and error I guess

EDIT: there are indications on the system map

You can't land on all of them?

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

Not just yet nah, only non atmospheric ones

 

[Jamdude]

That's a shame, glad to see the game is still well supported though. Is there anything to do on the planets? Or is it just exploration?

Good to see some can connect. It would have been nice to have a play before work but no biggie.

Just Landed

We need more screen shots when you're out on the surface!

 

[dirtybeatfreak]

I would, if I could work out how to get into my srv lol

 

[Jamdude]

It's just the Scarab SRV out currently isn't it? Any word on what the others will be like? I'd love to have a multi-person SRV.

 

[Surfer]

Well looks like i will be getting a thrustmaster t flight hotas x again as my x52 pro just decided to **** my pc. It was partially functional in Elite when i tested it but didnt have full functionality (some throttle functions, the MFD, and the mousestick) so made the mistake of installing saitek software......wow...pc freeze had to hard reset it and then it refuses to startup lol...had to do a system restore.

 

[darkgen]

Wow; I think they nailed the mechanics with orbital cruise / glide. Well done FD. Roll on atmospherics!
