Hello,

Today I have not been able to get the game to launch when I press play. I am using the Steam Launcher.

When I load the launcher and click Play the button goes grey for several seconds and then nothing happens. I do not get any error messages and I do not see the ESO client appear in Task Manager.

I have tried repairing multiple times, uninstalling and reinstalling, clearing the Steam Download Cache, and Removing the Elder Scroll Online folder from Documents. I am out of ideas.

    There are a few extra steps you can try here, but if the issue ends up persisting then you can open a ticket with our support team for further troubleshooting.

    It looks like it is an issue with Microsoft's Insider Canary Build. I have reported the issue to Microsoft. In the interum I will use a different PC to play.
