hello it's Ricardo and welcome back to Elite dangerous for those of you who have been doing
the commander copy from console to PC you would have seen this screen this is
the screen that tells you that your copy is currently in progress for some people
who jumped right in and started the copy progress that might have seemed a little
bit disconcerting but I'm here to tell you it took no longer than two hours for me even
though Frontier did give us a little bit of a fright of saying that some cues would take
about five hours anyway I thought we'd have a look at the process once this is completed
foreign
ERS console Commander is now embarking on your PC Journey so we all would have seen this email
sent out to everybody when the transfer had been started you are in the queue don't worry
about it it's happening then all of a sudden you get this one your account transfer has
been completed okay the language here is a little bit off but don't worry about that please do not
reply to this email address it's not monitored you think great fantastic what am I going to
do now where's my copy of elite how do I log on to my commander but don't worry I got you
back as I mentioned Frontier came on the social media yesterday and kind of worried that people
a little bit or give them some good information just to say that hey console copies could take
up to five hours but fortunately for me it took about 2 hours 10 minutes so that wasn't so bad
clicking on the original email that said that your commander was in the queue you can see you've got
a copy complete status okay and then it says download the elite launcher well you guessed
it folks that's what you do you click on this link from the original email that you got to download
the elite dangerous launcher when you've done that there's a little bit of messing about to do now
if you're a commander who is getting a second commander on their PC you'll have to log out
and then bog back in as a console Commander email address and password that you gave
Frontier when you started this process you'll also be prompted for a verification code this
verification code is emailed to you here's an example of when that was sent to me pop that
into that box and you'll verify yourself with Frontier no problem once that is done
it's a simple case logging in click it comes up with your commander and the commander name
and then you may well have to upgrade Elite dangerous Horizons don't actually bother with
Elite dangerous go on to Elite dangerous Horizon click on upgrade and be prepared to wait now this
will take some time so if you're planning on playing in the next 10 to 15 minutes and
you haven't been upgrading Elite dangerous and you're one of the commanders who are completely
new to PC while you're into about a 45 minute wait for all that to download from Frontier
it will it look like it's not working for a time being you think oh what have I done you
keep clicking that Mouse button click click click click click click but don't worry it is happening
um it just takes a little bit while to sort of like initiate your session with Frontier servers
so with that done then this is a case of pressing play and you're away you've got
your commander name that you chose in the console um transfer process at the
top knowing that you're on the right Commander click on play and then away you go now there'd
be a little delay as well where it sets up graphics cards and all the rest of it but all
this is perfectly normal and then you have three commanders to go and Blaze your own path on PC
now this is only about Horizons you'll have to go and buy a copy of Odyssey I'm afraid if you
want to get in on all of that and have a good look at the Odyssey statistics to see if your your rig
that you're using take it out hope this video's been useful I've been Ricardo thanks very much
