Yuna SakashiroFYI, I played Odyssey in Horizons 4.0 mode last night, and even in base game mode!

It's really simple to make this work. All you need is the app "Process Explorer" from the Sysinternals Suite (free download from the Microsoft Store), launch Odyssey as usual, and then look up the properties of the EliteDangerous64.exe process. The app will show you the current directory and the full command line that the Frontier launcher uses to launch Odyssey.

Next you open a command prompt, use "cd" to set the same current directory, then paste the entire command line and append the parameter "SeasonTwo" (or "SeasonOne" if you want base game mode). Now exit Odyssey and press enter in the command prompt window to launch the game again with the modified command line.

The first change you will notice is the intro cinematic: it's the old one from Horizons. In the game's main menu you will see either the Horizons logo or the original base game logo, depending on the mode you chose. Everything works as expected: Horizons will hide the Disembark button, base game mode will prevent you from landing on planets, etc.

Instancing with other players is possible if they use the same game mode. Last night I tried open mode in Horizons 4.0 and actually saw another player in Shinrarta Dezhra.

Bottom line: If you need base game mode only occasionally to get your SRV unstuck, this little hack does the trick. You can uninstall client 3.8 and use those 20 GB for something else.

EpisparhHalf baked development and poor strategy decisions. Frontier excels in both.

NightAngel151Can anyone point me to the Inara Discord server? I've looked everywhere but I'm just not seeing it in the new site layout. lol

EpisparhHalf baked development and poor strategy decisions. Frontier excels in both.

Obviously the key difference between Frontier and Hello Games or CD Projekt Red is that the latter two had the mental capacity to realize when they had screwed up and did everything they could to restore goodwill. Frontier on the other hand is utterly tone deaf and detached from reality. It seems they really thought they could generate more sales by giving their most troubled product away as a "courtesy gift" while locking their most loyal customers out of it!

Now of course the exact opposite is happening. EDO and LEP owners are pissed off because of how they get treated, and Horizons owners now get first-hand experience of how bad Odyssey still is after more than a year of patching.

This company is so full of fail, I'm surprised they still have shareholders. Must be those shills we see in the forums.

AvengerduttonWould you like some cheese with your whine?

No one forces you to stick around and support* a games company you clearly have had issues with for months.

*Before you come back with saying you're not supporting FDev you're playing their game

AvengerduttonGood luck with the trolling of the forums I know it makes you really happy.

You don't support FDev by playing their current game. You support them by buying the next one. In the meantime you're not a supporter but a liability.

Insisting on features that were promised at the time of sale now qualifies as trolling? Do you enjoy your invertebrate life style?

People like you are the reason why we can't have nice things.

AvengerduttonI wasn't aware there is another Elite title on the way that you're refusing to buy.

Congratulations! Not only did you get my point, now you're even pretending it was yours all along. I feel flattered.
