If you have issues launching Odyssey in Update 4 still, you may be like me. DISABLE/EXIT MSI AFTERBURNER.

Game fails to launch after the Startup Intro Video. No error code is given. This only started after Update 4. I have validated game files thrice in the launcher, and thrice in Steam. I have only just now tried reinstalling the game completely to no avail. Please help. I really just want to walk on planets.

*****Mystery Solved****

After digging through some of the log files I noticed a log file specific to Odyssey. After reading it it said WATCH DOG. I know exactly what the issue is. I run MSI Afterburner on my computer to keep track of my temps, system specs on the run. AS soon as I disabled it, the game launched with no issue. granted, it should be made known that MSI afterburner isn't the one that has changed something to cause elite to fail to launch. This was on FDev's end.

Please send me a Braben Bobblehead that I had on Xbox version as payment. /s
