    Can't log in for two hours now via Steam, tried everything and anything suggested here, Reddit, and Steam -
    map shows massive outages on the Steam network. I don't mind so much that services go down every now and then, that happens. What I do mind however is that I am losing my writs for today and won't be compensated by either company.

    It is possible to transfer the account from Steam to ZoS/Bethesda if it were not for the lucrative contract both companies have with one another - so it is legally not possible...

    I regret having bought the game first on Steam and then on disk but what can you do?

    Not the first time I have had these delays due to Steam purchase. How can I move my characters over to ZoS directly?

    Time to swap back to the native launcher. :wink: These issues are inevitable when you're dealing with two separate companies handling the functions to the security of your accounts

    I don't think that's possible? I think once you connect through steam you cant go back. Maybe I'm wrong. But 215 hours of playtime since I moved my ESO account to go through steam and this is the first time I've run into this so I'm not to mad. Just hope it dose not become a common thing like it was a while back.

    You're right. I just wasted the past 2 hours reinstalling both launchers. Apparently unlinking your account and linking it back up will solve the problem, or at least it did for me.

    Can they really be so extreme? Steam is the biggest gaming platform on PC, and this actually happens 1-2 times a year.
    It shows that we are locked up at home in a pandemic, Surely now you are not playing. XD

    As an update, there were some login issues for a short period on the PC-NA servers earlier that should be resolved now. If you are still having any errors when logging in please let us know.

    With my first attempt it said "6 seconds" and I waited 10min nothing happened. Left queue, tried again.. now it says 5 seconds.
    I don't mind if there's queue, but atleast give us some real life estimates of the waiting times.
