Can't open ESO - crash all the time

Scaletho · September 2022

Well, that summarize the problem. Can't open Steam, when I'm able to open it, ESO crash all the time. And I can't verify the integrity of files...

Idk what is going on.

Thanks, I'll try it. I'm desperate here. Nothing works and 3-4 hours ago the game was perfect. Super weird

Check that it's not a problem with the drive. I've been having problems with one of my hard drives recently and that's exactly what happens. Certain programs (often, but not always, ESO) simply won't run, they crash to desktop as soon as I try to start them.

I'm worried the drive might have been physically damaged a while ago, but for now letting Windows repair it seems to work.

Fix the problem. The game had a corrupted Steam Launcher file. I found it and reinstalled the launcher. Now it's ok. Lost 24 hours in this problem.
