Have you tried launching the game manually from Steam? The error output mentions that you have to link your Frontier account with Steam, but I don't know if that's a real error or just the default that comes up on that page.

rfvgyhn commented 7 months ago

Are you still having this issue?

This response appears when the Frontier API isn't able to verify your Steam account owns the game which can happen when:

  1. You haven't linked your Steam account to your Frontier account yet.
  2. Steam and Frontier aren't working together properly. I don't know if this is an issue on Steam's or Frontier's end but it happens intermittently with both this launcher and the default launcher (though the error message doesn't show the HTML in the default launcher). You can usually try again in a few minutes (though sometimes it can take a while unfortunately).

Hello! the issue appear to have resolved itself overnight, had to link my steam account with the official launcher a couple of times before it realized i have already linked them.
