Hi.
I've been in the beta since back in February and in the pre-launch (5 days) and I have been playing the game just fine so far. But tonight, i started the launcher as usual and it auto-updated itself.
Once it completed the download (again, just for for the launcher, not the game patch or anything of that nature), it closed up to restart ,,, but then I waited, and waited, and waited and nothing would happen. I tried to start it again and got a message stating that only one instance of this process is allowed to run at anytime.
So I opened up the Task Manager (btw, i am running on Windows 8.1) and could see the "Zenimax Online Studios Launcher.exe" process in the Background Processes section. Its using about 3% of my CPU and about 110 MB of memory... which seems to be going up very slowly. Yep.. 2 min later and its now around 121 mb with no sign of stopping anytime soon.
Not sure what to do at this point.. I mean something definitely happened right after it auto-updated, so i doubt its because I am not running it as an admin, or my virus protection program is running (which I have stopped by the way just to be sure although it never was a problem before).
I hope you guys can help soon because with the amount of money I have shed on this game is pretty steep and I can't even use it the very day I entered my 30 days key in my account
Thanks in advance for your help.
