Play Button Missing on Launcher

As titled, the play button will not appear sometimes, just had to re-launch half a dozen times to get it to load

i already created a thread about this here: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/602230/anyone-getting-a-very-slow-delayed-play-button-to-appear-on-launcher-lately ..... Although, since then, it seems to have gotten better. (at least, from my end .... /shrug )

Hadn't seen that one, when I searched it popped an old 2014 post but thanks

Being unable to hit the "Play" button in the launcher may be a permissions issue. Check your anti-virus settings and make sure the correct exceptions have been setup.

The application files that may require exceptions are:

• Bethesda.net_launcher: C:\Program Files (x86)\ZenimaxOnline\Launcher
• ESO.exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\ZenimaxOnline\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso.exe
• Steam.exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe

Some antivirus programs require entire folders to be selected instead of a single file.When this is the case, the file paths below are what you should use. If required by the anti-virus program, include all subfolders since every file is critical to run the game.

• C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\
• C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\
