I think you have to buy it through FD's store, not Steam to get that discount.
That little green box implies the FD store and Steam store both apply. I think.

They've been saying a few weeks after beta launch until release, so most likely a tad before Christmas I'd wager.
I paid for that shit, I better get what I actually paid for. Don't throw that "Entitled gamer" shit at me. At the very least it needs to be fixed within minutes, not hours.

Edit : I see plenty of people getting the update of my facebook feed, just be patient guys.

You'd have to buy the beta version, normal version of Horizons doesn't include the beta that's releasing today.
Nah fuck that. Time is money!

Yeah expansion is $45 if you already own the base game. Beta today, release in a few weeks.
For steam users, you still get the discount towards the beta/preorder when you buy it from their store. Once the expansion actually releases you'll get a steam key attached to your account that you can add to your steam account. If you want to play the beta now however, you have to buy the beta version which is like 10 dollars extra. You'll then get an option on your account page to download their launcher instead of using steam.

If you have a Steam installation, you should see the horizon beta if you launch the launcher directly from the file system, not from Steam. (obviously, that only applies to those who have beta access with their account for Horizon)
That's a good news, I'll download it from Steam then. Frontier server are getting hammered xD
Apologies, CMDR's - servers went boom when word broke. We're holding back until things stabilise.

Lol!
I didn't get the beta... so I'll be jealous of you guys until I just succomb to pay for it hahaha
The launcher you receive from Steam should probably do.
Yes. But there is a temporary discount for people who already own the game.
Not like you actually get it anyway unless you're just RNGesus and happened to get in.

Downloading very very slowly right now.

Yep me too, I only have the Mercenary Edition of the game and I only bought the normal Horizons version for $45, so no beta for me. I'm fine with that though, I've got mining and exploring to do while we wait for launch.
Cool. I don't really care about the beta.

Quoting myself in case people missed it.
Where in the file system? I originally bought on Frontier's store, and redeemed the Steam key, so where should mine be?
Edit: Got it! Just go to Steam/steamapps/common/Elite Dangerous and launch EDLaunch.exe and it should be there if you have access. Installing right now.
That doesn't make any sense. Launching it from the steam directory is no different from launching via steam.

Easiest way is to right click the game in steam, click properties. Then click the Local Files tab and then click browse local files... button. Run EdLaunch.exe

Launch from Steam client, no option. Launch from file system, it's there. That was my experience and was what I witnessed on the stream I was watching that made me give it a try.
If you should have access to the Horizons beta and are unable to see the option in your list. Please try downloading from this link.
Let us know if it works.
Thanks,

If you don't have the launcher from their store downloaded, then you have to start the launcher from the file system like other people have stated because the beta isn't tied to steam at all. You can have both the launcher from FD and steam downloaded and just launch the FD one for betas like most people do.

This guy is streaming, just launched Horizons: http://www.twitch.tv/blackmazetv
EDIT: Very cool--system view now gives more details on planets you can land on, metal content, as well as a little 3D basic model of the planet and points of interest.

EDIT: Seem to be texture streaming/pop-in issues at some points. REALLY hope they can remove that pause when you transition out of orbital cruise :-|
Also, can't wait to see the screenshots of some of these weird planets. BRING THEM ON

Bought the game on the sale. Doing the training so far.
I beat the Cobra in the training. Is that sort of in line with what I'll encounter in the game or is it super easy just to introduce me to the game?
Still undecided if I'll use keyboard and mouse or X360 controller. What are you guys using? And if you are using keyboard and mouse, any recommended bindings out there?

So my client has play, play 1.5 ships beta (32bit), play 1.5 ships beta (64bit)
This is Horizon, right? Despite the name.
That said, I am downloading it. Slowly that is

Ships will have a combat rating (from Harmless to Elite), ships with higher ratings are significantly tougher, though the combat is never really overly hard unless you try to bite off more then you can chew.
Game of the forever.
damn, on the sunny side of a distant planet, still dark
