Just patched my client. It now shows version 1.53 and I cannot connect to the server! There is no possibility to rollback! Once you have installed the patch you are pretty much *** up.

EDIT: Use the eso.exe out of your installation folder, to bypass the launcher!

THANKS ZOS!

    2) DO NOT FEED PATCHER AFTER MIDNIGHT.

    3) DON'T GET WATER ON THE PATCHER.

    Thanks for the tip.

    It is not surprising that the forums are unmonitored at this hour.

    On the positive side, maybe now I have a chance to actually get stuff in the Dwemer ruins.

    Too late, not only for me, but most everyone else on the EU server.

    We really are second-class payment-making-sponges, I think.

    Why the EU? Because of the hour or it just didn't affect the NA client (I'm not going to check... I want to keep at least one server playable until they fix it. :()

    Damn, you would think they would check a patch works before they roll it out.
    And if it doesn't work, you would think they would have some method of letting us undo the patch.

    It's not even that. It looks like the patch went live before the server updated. So the patch probably works fine, it's just the server that is calling BS on it.

    You know, I think that's even worse, getting a server to recognise a patch is even more basic than making sure the patch works.

    Not quite. The server and the client need to have the same version. They probably work together fine, the problem is they haven't updated the server along with the clients... which would mean taking it down for maintenance.

    Well call me stupid, but that sounds like the only solution then, because once some of us have the update, we can't un-update.

    It should't take very long if they have the right people at work, which they probably don't because it is sunday and this patch was scheduled to tuesday for EU

    Worst case? The 1.5.3 server build isn't actually ready for prime time, which could mean as much as 28 hours (since it was scheduled to be pushed live at 8am Monday)... best case? Two or three more hours.
