Patch Error 104 - Not enough space, but I have enough space.

Cathexis · October 2020

Trying to figure this problem out.
The launcher is telling me I don't have enough space but I have 30g+ and the download is 250~mb.

Any tips would be good.
Thanks!

Frequently, Error 104 is due to an anti-virus program blocking the patch. In some circumstances, the exception will need to be removed and re-added back as an exception to your antivirus program.

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
ESO64.exe: C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso64.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 players 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\

There are some additional troubleshooting steps for Error 104 in the thread below.

Why is this information not put on the official website that is linked in the launcher for the issue. Had I seen this when I clicked on the link provided on the launcher about the error, I wouldn't have uninstalled my game like it tells you to do!! It's the only option listed there.

This Antivirus information MUST be added to the website article.
