Last day of subscription, need to re-download the entire game.

darthritis

Was working fine yesterday. The day before that. The few weeks before that.

The patch downloads, tries to install, fails.

I try to log in with the launcher found in Program Files/Zenimax Online/Elder Scrolls Online/game/client and it tells me I'm using an out of date client.

Now I'm supposed to re-download another 23 GBs?

What a joke this game is.

Have happened to me several times, I always keep a backup of lastest version since.

darthritis

I'm supposed to keep a 23 GB backup of a game that came out in 2014?

Good thing I didn't pay for another month.

Did this happen after the maintenance downtime?

Out of curiosity, did you have to re-download the game, or just he latest patch/update/craglorn? http://dulfy.net/2014/05/22/eso-v1-1-2-craglorn-patch-notes/

Took me a long time, but it wasn't downloading the whole game.

Lol, it was an error on ZOS side and was fixed about 10 minutes after the patch was released.

Now this is a thread the mods should close. Quitting + false rumours.

Are you sure. The patch is about 5Gb split into 2 downloads. Half way through, after the first 2.8Gb, it says updating files and it will say 20 odd GB because its updating those file and not downloading. Trying reading it instead of jumping the gun.

Darlon

Same here... Have to redownload 23 GB of data.... 11 GB to go right now..

Yay.. Got one day off in 2 weeks. Yay I can play for 2 hours today! Yaaaay, a patch. Yaaay, they never bring patches out during the evening/night so I can play the next day WHEN I'm finally a day at home. Yaaaay, have to download the whole game again! Yaaay, I'm paying money for patches that don't fix my and other player's problems! Last time I played was like a week ago and I got crazy of all the bots in Coldharbour. I spent like 5 minutes on reporting and yaaay it ruins the whole experience = LOGOUT.

It's not a redownload. It's "Applying Patch".

woutervanjellob16_ESO

Are you his brother standing next to him while the patch is downloading? How can you even say it's not a redownload.

Fferdinand

It´s not a rumour: it´s true. I´ve to redownload 23GB again for this [snip] game.

Did not get a complete redownload here but

After the 2GB download and 20GB verifications there is indeed a 5GB download here because the file in

\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\vo_fr

are outdated

To me this was 2GB for base client and 5GB for localization files and I believe a complete re-download can occur, this launcher is not bug free

Fferdinand

This is enough for me. I can´t play a game so bugged from beginning to end. It has great potential but keeps me more time angry than happy

Aeradon

@woutervanjellob16_ESO‌ I'm not. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have made that remark.

woutervanjellob16_ESO

Haha

So it's the game's fault that you can't play more than once in two weeks or whatever and when you can that it happens to be the big patch update day? alrighty then.

Don't speak unless you know what you're talking about.

The patch downloaded fine.

The install of it failed and destroyed my entire installation.
