This will help people from having to go through 11 pages of posts and also remember to always backup files before trying anything.

Ok guys. Here is a partial fix for problem. This all happened because launcher deleted this files:

ESO\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\depot\depot.version
ESO\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\game_player.version
ESO\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\vo_en\vo_en.version

So assuming you have the correct version of game you just need to copy them back. Its for eng version. If you need for other version ask people with other lang versions.

Here it is:

US files download here

If you don't want to use the EU files then you can use the US files that I supplied maybe they are the same that he has but anyway if you have another language that's not listed here please contact me and i'll add that on the list.

if this files copy fix isn't working you only have 2 options

1. Wait for Zenimax to give you a fix and god knows when this will be.
2. Uninstall and remove all of ESO from the system then do a fresh install of the launcher and re-download the entire 28-30GB. ( option 2 is what I took and it's working like a charm due to this fix wasn't implemented at the time )

From the looks of the file names, this is for the PC version right? As I'm on the Mac client and the folders look different. Think it'd mess it up for me.

Thanks Punamu for posting the "US download here" zip file. Used those files, placed them in the appropriate spot, and now my launcher is working!

You're right, this should be a sticky. Thanks Aldarund and Punamu!

Still nothing in the patch notes nor an official fix from Zenimax if the problem still exists due to this I won't be activating my 30 days of game time till this place is full of real support, This really is a nightmare for players and it's just not good enough.
