Login Timeout

Ozziefly
Ozziefly
As many others are having this issue, and I read and followed the steps provided to them, I am still not having ANY luck in logging into the game...


I so far have deleted the version file and restored..

Repaired the Launcher....


what else can i possibly do to get this game to log in. is there a manual patch download somewhere that I may be able to get....



Really starting to *** me off ZOS....

    Was having the same issue. Tried to repair, and at the end of the repair, I got the "unable to determine current version" error. When I re-opened, it started patching. Now I'm getting the current version error again.

    Edit: Closed and opened a few times and now it's finally working, and I'm in the game. Not sure what's going on here...

    Same issue here as I posted in another forum post regarding this same problem. I can't login without it saying "Login timeout" or "Error 301 etc" It was working perfectly fine for me before the patch and now it isn't.

    Finally finished with that repair nonsense. But now the login timeout.


    I fixed it. Just deleted the version in the game folder and redownloaded that part.

    All is good.

    Finally in game.

    That is the version from before the patch, you are having the problem which leads to the login timeout/error 301 messages, which is because of an error with the launcher and or their network that handles the launcher. This is THEIR problem and they are staying very quiet about it.

    Yep, that's the current version I am on and apparently people are finding it as easy as just reloading their launcher, for me this is not the case I have relaunched my launcher multiple times and still no luck, if someone could get back to me on this I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
  • nom-db16_ESO
    I have tried every fix that has been posted and even gone as far as re-installing the game. Nothing works, this surely cannot be on my side otherwise something would have worked. I don't even get an error message until after the 1st time out and then I get 301. I can log into EU fine so my client obviously is ok but I am a Guild Leader on the NA server and I want to get back to my people.

    Yup, confirmed this worked for me. Close and reopen the launcher until it patches. Good to go. Sorry yours isn't working but thanks for the tip.

    *EDIT* I had to do this about 10 times before it finally started patching.

    The real dilemma is that; Powdered doughnuts are overpowdered, the chocolate doughnuts are too chocolaty, and the coconut crunch doughnuts have more coconut than all other doughnuts. This is OUTRAGEOUSLY unfair to other doughnuts!

    So from now on, all you special snowflakes get is nasty plain doughnuts...enjoy!

    After several different combinations of deleting, patching, restoring and yelling at files I made it in the game.

    Currently getting the "Login timeout"

    Anyone had any luck?

    Rather than running a repair or deleting any files, I first tried to run the launcher as administrator. That caused it to download a patch it didn't otherwise find, and once that applied, I was able to get in just fine.

    Doubt that will solve everybody's issues, but it might do the trick for somebody out there!

    After patching I got the manifest error. Closed launcher. Re-opened and got the could not determine version error about 5 times while closed and reopened the launcher until it finally gave me the play button.

    Currently in game and working so far. *knock on wood*

    I've also been getting logon timeout since after the server downtime. Tried deleting the version files and repatching, no change. Tried deleting the launch folder programdata folder. still no change - getting login timeouts.

    I was version 1.0.0.964485 - started the launcher, it didn't do any auto update or anything, tried to login.

    Got the time out, tried to login a couple times, then chose "quit" which took me back to the launcher, which it then did an update.

    Now version eso.live.1.0.0.968197 - logged in with no problem and now playing.

    So, wasn't hard to fix.

    After attempting to log in several times and getting the "time out" error followed by a couple of "301 contact customer support" errors, I went back to the launcher and selected 'Check for updates" to which there were none that appeared and then ran a repair on my game that verified all files and returned nothing also.

    Returned back to my desk with the launcher up still reading as completed, I thought I would try to log in a few more times, still only receiving "time out" and "301 your mother runs like a girl" errors again.

    I closed out of the game, closed off the launcher and renamed my 'AddOns' folder to 'AddOns 2' and then made a new folder in its place named 'AddOns' that is completely empty. As soon as I did this, I found that my launcher changed to "Downloading". It sat dormant for nearly 10 minutes after repair and flagged nothing for downloading until that folder change.

    Be it that the downloading is really slow at 179kB/s and only a tiny size of about 50MB. I look forward to seeing if this helps.
