Bought Odyssey - game logs into ED: Beyond

[profestus]

A friend of mine bought Odyssey, but when logging in they are in ED: Beyond.
They bought everything on Steam - the base game and Odyssey too. What can they do to log into Odyssey?

[Zen]

they just need to do the new player mission it will take them to the main game after it

[Nubvia]

Beyond is Odyssey though? They regularly change the name as they progress through different story arcs, but leave the actual DLC as the original name

In the launcher, change the version to Odyssey.

Beyond is Legacy (and on EGS it's defaulting to that one for the Amazon Prime deal)

What to do if they don't see the Odyssey option in versions in the launcher?

Either restart steam, un-check/check Odyssey in the dlc (restart steam), or log in to the elite dangerous webpage and re-link with steam after making sure the dlc is enabled. (restart steam)

The reason for restarting steam has to do with how the authentication servers work.
(applies to some other games too, not just elite)
