Some Elite Dangerous players have reported problems logging into the game through the launcher, which fails to recognize their Frontier accounts. A returning player with around 400 hours on Steam found the launcher stating their account does not own the game and is not linked to any third-party accounts. Previously, restarting Steam resolved the issue temporarily, but it has since returned. Attempts to redeem expired 25-digit codes also fail, suggesting ongoing account linking or authentication problems. This affects player access and may require Frontier intervention to restore normal login functionality.
