Try "SETTINGS ==> DOWNLOADS ===> STEAM LIBRARY FOLDER ==>ADD FOLDER to enable STEAM to "know" to download to your external drive?

Hello Commanders,

It is with great sadness that we must announce the upcoming end of Elite Dangerous on Mac.

Firstly, we want to reassure you that this decision did not come lightly and is something that we have been investigating for some time. As many of you will know, despite our best efforts, we have been unable to bring Elite Dangerous Horizons to Mac since launch due to technical barriers. With the planned improvements coming in our Chapter Four update of the Beyond season we have felt it necessary to make this difficult decision in order to allow us to bring in content and features in the way that we felt was best for the overall Elite Dangerous experience. It is for this reason that we wanted to give you as much notice as possible. With the release of the Q4 update, coming towards the end of the year, you will no longer be able to play Elite Dangerous on Mac. As soon as we have a date of the update to share, we will do so here.

At the point of the Q4 update, you will no longer be able to access Elite Dangerous products through the Mac OS. However, you will still be able to log into your account on PC (or via Bootcamp.)

We hope you will understand why we have taken this course of action and would encourage those of you who have questions or concerns, to please contact our Support Team HERE who are on hand and ready to help!

Thanks again,

Ed and the Elite Dangerous team

En gros, tu l'as dans l'os, car ces bouff**s (Frontier hein, pas Valve) ne supportent plus ta plateforme depuis le 11 de ce mois ci et la maj 3.3

Personellement je me rapprocherais de steam, jugeant cela inaceptable de vendre un produit pour une plateforme donnee, encaisser l'argent pour finalement ne plus supporter du tout la plateforme.

J'exigerais un remboursement integral sans condition sous peine de poursuites.
