[Music] hello and welcome commanders it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous big news as
announced in the recent frame shift live we're getting a new launcher which as quoted was was to
help people manage the versions of elite they had well it's launcher day today and the new launcher
has indeed been released here we have the one we've all grown to be accustomed to that we've
had in the past and we can see the different menu items that are knocking around in here log out log
out of machine check for updates all that sort of stuff let's take a look at the new interface
it's a big 07 Commander so we are gonna get a brand new menu and here it is this is the
brand new Elite dangerous menu screen or game launcher as you could possibly say
um the one we had I thought was very clunky uh the one we've got now seems more streamlined it's nice
round curved buttons play manage and then versions let's take a little look through it scroll down
for more well there's nothing actually there at the moment clicking on play manage manage has
given you the option to validate files check for updates or indeed uninstall the game should you
want to and then versions gives you a graphical representation as opposed to where we had text
before of all the different versions of elite dangerous you possibly have now here's the thing
I get it I get this but not quite what I was expecting and I'm not being salty about it if you
click on connected as you get the settings option where you've got access to support Frontier links
options language and back clicking on options gives you a multi-threaded download good a cash
check a virtual cache and check for X input all fascinating stuff so I thought well okay let's
log out of that and get back in there because to be fair I thought this was going to make things
perhaps a bit easier for people with multiple accounts here's the frontier account sign in login
aspect of things where you're prompted to enter in your account details your Frontier Account Details
so you type these in and the sections provided click on remember me now if you've forgotten this
and you've accessed the frontier store before and you can't remember what your password is
you can go into the password manager usually connected with your browsers whether that's
with Google Chrome or with Edge to Assa access those passwords it's just in settings and type
in I think Frontier in the search bar and it'll pop up the fact that hey you've got passwords
related to this and then entering a small code attached to your computer will then give you
um the password that you need now with that done Frontier is then going to ask you for your
multi-factor authentication we'll send you a code to your email that you've been designated as your
account in Frontier and it will send you I think a five or six digit code which you enter in here
so remember to check your spam or junk folders as well once you've got that it will authorize you
then it's a case of pressing play and then hoping your game is going to start and here it is there's
Odyssey what I noticed is that the menu did not disappear on that occasion I had
to close it down myself and the rest kind of is history I was kind of expecting however
something that would have helped manage multiple accounts even if you register
another account with it as well you still have to go through the same verification process
um and you know you can't just use the drop down button at the top to select the different accounts
to log into which I thought was a bit of an oversight to be fair I mean I've got a steam
account in Epic Games account as you can see I'm connected with a different account here my drunken
Badger account which is an ALT account I'm not given the option with the drop down to select my
main account I've got a log out and then log back in with the same old rigmarole remember me then
it's gonna ask me for multi-factor authentication I thought oh that's a bit of a pain in the bottom
isn't it to be fair I thought it was going to make things easier all we can do is really look at the
different variations of the game bit of a shame that bit of an oversight there if I'm to be fair
Frontier I mean there's no denying the menu looks better um but just to have a pictorial version of
the games hmm well I was kind of hoping so there's something around the account management side of
things so I could select different accounts select my steam account select my main account without
having to log on and log off and all the rest of it it could have retained those credentials
oh well never mind perhaps we'll come a little bit later what do you think of the new frontier
Elite dangerous and Elite dangerous Odyssey menu screen let me know in the comments what you think
it's okay it's all right I was hoping for a little bit more but then again doesn't everybody
I've been Ricardo thanks for watching see you soon
