might encounter. See also [Troubleshooting](Troubleshooting.md).

## You need to have logged into the game at least once
|
||||
The very first thing you should so is ensure you have logged into the
|
||||
game fully, including having chosen Commander name, at least once.
|
||||
|
||||
If you're a completely new player this will entail playing through the
|
||||
initial tutorial until you've jumped to another system and docked. It
|
||||
is at this point that you're awarded your Pilot's License and are
|
||||
prompted to choose a Commander name (and a few other things).
|
||||
|
||||
Until you have fully logged into the game, including having chosen a
|
||||
name for your Commander, you will not be able to access all of the
|
||||
settings for this application. This notably includes:

@ -17,21 +25,31 @@ NB: Moving/Deleting all your Journal files will make this application
|
||||
think you've never logged in. It uses the *latest* Journal file to
|
||||
determine the Commander name to use.
|
||||
|
||||
## First time Commander
|
||||
If it is your very first time playing Elite Dangerous then need to
|
||||
have completed the initial tutorial to the point where you dock
|
||||
your ship in a different star system and get awarded your pilots
|
||||
license. This will trigger you having to choose your Commander name, as
|
||||
well as a few other things.
|
||||
So, if in doubt, run Elite Dangerous (with or without Horizons or any
|
||||
other expansion) and log all the way in (i.e. select 'Open Play',
|
||||
'Private Group', or 'Solo' mode and end up in space, docked at a
|
||||
station, or on a planet/moon surface).
|
||||
|
||||
At this stage this application knows enough to ask your to authorize it
|
||||
to utilise the Frontier CAPI service, necessary for several functions of
|
||||
this application.
|
||||
|
||||
## Some Frontier Authentication Quirks
|
||||
Once this application knows your Commander name it will prompt you to
|
||||
authorize it to use the Frontier CAPI service by opening a web browser
|
||||
window/tab.
|
||||
|
||||
*There is a known bug where the browser tab/window for this might open
|
||||
twice. Just ignore the first tab/window and use the second.*
|
||||
See [Issue #583](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/583).
|
||||
|
||||
We have also had reports of the application acting weirdly during the
|
||||
Frontier Authorization flow. Please [report an issue](https://github.com/EDCD/EDMarketConnector/issues/new/choose)
|
||||
if you experience any weirdness with this! In particularly we'll need
|
||||
to know your default web browser, any anti-virus of software firewalls
|
||||
installed and active on your system and the contents of your
|
||||
`%TEMP%\EDMarketConnector.log` immediately after you experience the
|
||||
problem.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## After you have Authorized the Application
|
||||
Once you've entered your Frontier Account credentials and approved this
|
||||
application's request for access with the 'Approve' button the browser
|
||||
tab will not change, just close it once you've confirmed it worked as
