A commander on the Elite Dangerous subreddit reported being unable to create a new EDSM account because their old account remains linked to their commander profile, and they no longer have access to the original email address. This prevents linking a new EDSM account, effectively locking the player out of EDSM services that track exploration and gameplay data. The issue highlights potential challenges in account management and support for commanders needing to update or recover linked accounts. Players relying on EDSM for data continuity should be aware of this limitation and seek official support if they encounter similar problems.
- Old EDSM account linked to commander profile blocks new account creation.
- Loss of access to old email prevents account recovery or unlinking.
