Play Horizons and ED V1 at same time

Postby Orochimaru » Wed Aug 23, 2017 6:17 am

CMDRs

I have been playing ED 2.3, for a while on my desktop. Due some technical issues with my laptop, I can only play 2.2 on that machine.

Is there a problem to use the same login with 2.2 and 2.3? Apart from the fact that 2.2 does not have engineers, holo-me and multicrew, what else would I be missing?

Are the CG shared between 2.2 and 2.3?

Thank you CMDRs

If you start the launcher on your laptop with 2.2, it should not allow you to play, but only present the update button.

You should be able to play the non-Horizons 1.7 (or is it 1.8?). My laptop has the spec for the base game but not Horizons, so I did that once or twice at Christmas while travelling.

Any side effects?
I mean, your ships must have an SRV module that you can not use in pre-Horizons game. Any problems with that?

Thanks CMDR

You are right. I got my facts straight with the naming and versioning of E:D.
I can run the pre-Horizons version x64 bits.

Any problems that you know, running Horizons and pre-Horizons, with the same login?

Not that I recall. If you log out of Horizons on planet and then log in back on non-Horizons it puts you in orbit. I can't recall what it does about the SRV bay etc.
