SquidLiquorok, so i need to download the latest launcher.. where do i install it to? last time i ended up with multiple versions, none of which worked..
im not playing horizons and use steam..
Originally, I purchased on Steam as well, back at 1.3. When the updated 1.4 launcher came I got it from Frontier direct and just let it install to its desired path. When it was done and worked, I removed the Steam launcher (1.3). Since moving off Steam to FD direct I haven't had some of the issues that were associated with Steam's layer of control.
On another note...
I'm on Horizons and want to know if anyone experienced any issues removing all previous versions of ED. I have the original 32-bit, 1.5 64-bit, and 64-bit 2.0 (Horizons). I can't see any reason to keep the old versions.

I installed it to the location where the current one is placed, i.e. the folder where the "EDLaunch.exe" is located. To verify the right spot the launcher should NOT need to install the game again, but show the Upgrade/Play Button instead.
(that was at least what I had to do...)

Now just imagine that inara becomes a Faction on its own. With all of its 8000+ players wings etc
that should be someting to behold.

Funny thing, not once but twice in one day I got dropped out of SC practically on top of a station. Had I not been at min-throttle both times, I would have gotten mauled for sure.
This had never happened to me before. Maybe it's a function of a recent update?

Uninstalled my old ED 1.5 with no issues. Now running Horizons only.

On one hand, I'm given to understand that, if your machine & OS can handle 64-bit, then you "should" be running the 64-bit Elite..
On the other hand, if the system's not really that powerful, is it better to stick to 32-bit?
I've so far played in the 32-bit, without too much trouble -- my first day, i had a couple CRASH-outs, and one black-screen hang (music played on) all around Hyperspace.. but since then, no more issues (and I submitted Feedback / Crash Report each time).
Win 8.1, 64-bit; AMD A8 (quad-core) w/ 6Gb RAM, sufficient SSD HD-space..
Internet over home wi-fi (looking at alternative wired options to improve situations like extra long jumps (load screen!)..)
SHOULD I go up to the 64-bit version?
Has anyone used 32 and gone up to 64 (on the same machine, no other major changes like added RAM), and seen a NOTICEABLE improvement??
Thankies! :D o7

Maybe I misunderstood FD with the release of Horizons being 64-bit only? Probably get a lot of flack here but I would suggest, for gaming stability especially, a wired connection is preferable to WiFi. Yes, I realize many play over WiFi without issue but if stability is an issue, wired is the way to go especially since Elite is rather unforgiving when it comes to disconnections as far as potential for failing missions or gaining fines when it was not the pilot doing something nefarious rather a dropped connection. Yes, you can submit a bug report to recover SOME losses but currently, they cannot reset missions much less put you back to a specific point in a chain mission.

I have heard stories that they are for Capital Ships to dock, but that may well just be stories.
