[2022] My friend gifted me the game on Steam but it won’t let me play and gives me this message instead, I’ve previously played it on Epic Games tho idk why it’s doing that

Hello CMDR, this error is shown when trying to access Elite from an account that doesn't have direct access. From the looks of it you're trying to log in 'manually', but if your game access is through Steam you'll need to use the Steam Log In button from the launcher. Any further issues, contact us at shorturl.at/jDG78
