    From time to time you will need to run the official launcher to link you account but in general minimal ED launcher is faster. And you can configure it to run additional scripts with the game too.

    I use default Proton (8.0-2 as of writing) with Ferral GameMode and the min-ed-launcher. Works just fine for me, sometimes less tweaking gets more results. Maybe try undoing some of your tweaks, because it was pretty plug-and-play for me.

    You can follow this guide (a one time thing) under the Users that don't own the Odyssey DLC section to tell it to install the live version of horizons.

    If you are not using Steam, I think Lutris and min-ed-launcher are worth looking into.

    I heared about " min-ed-launcher " and i followed the instructions but i dont know what to edit or change to switch from H3.8 to H4.0... the start option on steam is " cmd /c "MinEdLauncher.exe %command% /autorun /autoquit /EDH" " but when i try to add the 4 at EDH it just wont boot.
  • Point of Horizons?

    FYI, Odyssey players only lack the Loader entry required to access Horizons 4.0. You do still have access, but need to use an alternative loader such as the Minimal Elite Dangerous Launcher.
