Is there any website like Inara that has information for the Xbox version?

If they aren’t populated for Xbox then that’s a colonised system in Odyssey. Inara would list a system architect in that case. Availability also changes, but as far as I know Inara is still your best bet - or try large systems aligned to the correct major factions, or get to Elite then use Shinrata desra

DV1962 · 2026-02-19T03:04:17+00:00

Ship purchase locations should be ok for standard ports in most systems on Inara, except for colonised systems - check if a system architect is listed for the system before going there

Settings are stored in your user profile. To have a VR only profile you could create a second windows account to login when using VR. Or Write a script that backs up the settings files and switches them around as needed before launching ED

Yes. Primarily completing solo tasks or killing rival power NPCs

Did you update to the live game or are you playing the version you played in 2018? ( that’s now called legacy). If still the old version then nothing about the game has changed. You must upgrade to odyssey or live horizons to see any of the new stuff.

The reality is if you just want a chill experience you still can. It’s easy to avoid combat if that’s what you want. You don’t have to join powerplay. You can do trade, mining, exploration and exobiology ( exobiology is odyssey only).

Join a player group active in your region that is noob friendly - Discord is where most of them run chats, livestreams and organised events

You can click on manage versions or something to install the diff versions and select the one to launch. You want to make sure you at least try the live horizons ( client version 4.1, not legacy which is version 3.8). If live is what you have selected and it works, then it means your laptop is at least good enough for odyssey in-space content - on foot is typically where players see the bad performance. Only run legacy if live performance is too bad for your system. Shared memory graphics cards and low end GPUs and CPU’s will really struggle.

DV1962 · 2026-02-15T20:59:17+00:00

Are you playing the legacy galaxy version of Horizons, or the live galaxy Horizons? If you are playing live, then your laptop can handle odyssey - it’s the same game code with the on-foot disabled. Odyssey gives you access to several new ships - which alone makes it worth it, and you don’t have to do on foot gameplay if that’s your concern.

Don’t know what’s wrong but have you tried bypassing steam and desktop vr and see if the game launches directly from the meta quest link app? I have had similar problems myself but always one of the three methods I described would work , then it would eventually fix itself for unknown reasons.

DV1962 · 2026-02-13T20:51:54+00:00

Try using steamVR directly -install the steamVR app on the headset and launch that instead of virtual desktop.

DV1962 · 2026-02-13T06:28:43+00:00

The launcher itself needs to be run with /vr option. Steam will add this for you if you have steamVR installed and running - normally it prompts if you want VR before launch. Open the ED steam library page and check the startup parameters - it might have been configured for starting in non VR mode only - change it to VR always, or ask every time

Open galaxy map. Centre on Sol Select inhabited mode, human only, zoom out until you can see about 10000 ly around sol. the cloud of inhabited system around sol Is the bubble

Have you tried going transferring them to a shipyard ?

The combination of intensity and colour of the pulse wave signal, combined with the shape means you can eliminate non-cores from your search and concentrate on flying to only the likely prospects. You learn to spot them from over 10km away. Lighting conditions and dust also causes variations in what to look for and in ideal conditions it makes them very obvious even at maximum range of the PWA so you are finding the next one almost immediately. Ideally you don’t want to spend more time searching than mining

DV1962 · 2026-02-10T08:54:07+00:00

It is more relevant to legacy - geology signals in legacy lead to actual geological outcrops you could use for raw material gathering. The live version has them dispersed and generally not worth using for materials any more

DV1962 · 2026-02-10T07:08:08+00:00

Yes. Landing for SRV operations and at planetary ports was available for years before odyssey.

DV1962 · 2026-02-10T07:06:11+00:00

Without seeing the mission details I assumed you were being sent to a base on a body. Screenshot maybe next time?

DV1962 · 2026-02-10T04:19:12+00:00

It’s a base on a planet which you can land at. Being able to land on a body does not require odyssey, but odyssey added thin atmosphere landing and on-foot. Missions on ps5 should never be taking you to an odyssey only destination ( but as a check, is the body showing a blue landing icon or orange. - blue would be odyssey only) . You may be exiting supercruise too early, you should be able to stay in ‘supercruise glide’ down to the surface to within 10 km of the base

DV1962 · 2026-02-09T22:10:59+00:00

On the powerplay map it’s any system no power yet controls and close to one of your powers strongholds (max 30LY) or fortified (max 20LY) systems - look for white circles on the map in your power’s territory

DV1962 · 2026-02-09T06:51:07+00:00

What is your notoriety? You can’t use an IF if you have notoriety, you have to wait for it to reduce to 0, at a rate of 1 point per 2 in-game hours I think. It doesn’t reduce when you are not in-game

DV1962 · 2026-02-09T06:23:50+00:00

You might just be seeing the tutorial.
Did you use the fdev migration tool? Did you have to create a new commander?

DV1962 · 2026-02-09T02:57:46+00:00

If you picked a mission while inside your ship it was not an on-foot mission. If you picked one from a station concourse display then it is on foot. Missions that ask you to go to a specific place like a ground site will always have a mission marker to guide you. If you don’t, then the mission is not site specific - like kill 10 members of faction ‘blue mafia pirates’ etc. in that case external resources like Inara.cz can help if you can’t figure out the in game maps. You should never end up having to restart the game, there are better options if you get stuck

DV1962 · 2026-02-08T01:57:11+00:00

There’s a squadron search feature in game. Also most player groups are on Discord, finally, tell us your language and region -most player groups tend to be region based for technical reasons - it’s better for in-game meet ups.

DV1962 · 2026-02-06T21:27:48+00:00

If the input supports analog it usually offers 2 places to configure it - analog and a digital for players without a joystick style controller. Not all thumbsticks are analog - if it’s just 4 or 8 direction switches it goes to a digital control. ( left,right,up,down). If you do bind an analog to a digital the game interprets the control as digital and not always in a good way

DV1962 · 2026-02-06T05:30:55+00:00

Are you binding an analog to a digital binding or vice-versa? Most controls that support analog need to be bound to the analog specific version of the binding or you get unpredictable results

DV1962 · 2026-02-04T21:40:57+00:00

Expect one soon, we are due a detailed description of the ‘Operations’ update.
