Applying patch - 30,000 MB!?

Jade1986

Um, am I the only one seeing this?! What, is it just re-installing the entire game or something?! O.O

GFBStarWars

is the download speed 20 mb/s? or is really downloading the game?

@laced, sounds like your client has flipped to a different server, someone else reported all their characters had been deleted and it seemed possible they too suffered from this and were on a different one: eg. if you were on the EU server then you may now be on the NA one.,

Check the server your client thinks it's connecting to. The patch is around 5GB at most, mine was somewhat less, 30GB is almost certainly an entire client install.

It says "Applying Patch 30,000 MB Remaining" Its going at around 35mB/s for me

Nope, still says The Elder Scrolls Online (EU).

That's the thing, it is not downloading, the download was 2,000 MB or something like that, its applying the patch now, and it is currently at 190000 MB left now -_-

any new patch that introduce allot of new graphical stuff are huge. But remember that mush of the new data you download replace old data... so its not going to take up allot more on your HDD or SSD

But, isn't 30GB just under the size of the -entire- game?

fromtesonlineb16_ESO

It's not far short of that.

Hard to square the 2GB download with this 'patching' process, but I'd just leave it and see what happens.

GFBStarWars

the current patch is not 30 gig, @laced if that is the speed, the game is just checking the game files

Morvoldo

game on my system is just under 40g and patch has been going for almost 2 hours getting to 100% then going over that at about 132% and counting, seems to be trying to download entire game twice, i have stopped it and this still continues...... tho this seems to happen every Big patch update, they really need to sort this bloody client out.

restarted and now have 15763.24MB left and still going WTF

Arsenic_Touch

It did the 30,000 mb thing for me as well, took like 4 hours to download and install.

Morvoldo

they really Need to re-work this client because even when you re-install from disk it still wants to Re-download whole game (even tho you did that from disk/s) its this stupid client soo damn annoying having to do this Every time there's a large patch or Update.

reaching almost 160% completed now and still no sign of finishing, getting onto 3 hours.

this is a joke

tho what does not Help with this game is that Files get put into different places on your computer, game installs where you put it then addons are somewhere else, launcher is in another place ie User/name = addons folder .c or D drive is where main game is also theres a folder in your Program files.

one place is where game should be not 3/4, strange

The patch itself is approximately 3gb download.
The 30GB applying patch you have mentioned is just a rework of the entire previous installation, replacement or editing of important files which the game is composed of.
20mb/s---your computer applying the patch, not the download itself which should be much slower.
There is no need to worry.
Your HDD will only be filled by 3 more GB and not 30GB as far as I know.

Im not worried, I am just annoyed that I wont be able to play before work .

Morvoldo

not worried as i know how it works but its just annoying to go through this every time there's a patch/update, and would be alot easier if all files were in same place 1 place.
FYI my ESO Game Folder is 36gb, (addons are in a different place ie User/name folder)

Tashira

My whole TESO directory was 25 GB now mine is 36 GB. Asking TESO here for a reply... Is the game going to grow 10 GB every time you guys do an update?

Mirrike

My ESO client is doing the same thing and it has not changed to another server, how do I set the client back to the US server if it has???

IM also getting this if I try to run as administrator:

Mirrike

okay Ive found the client setting to set to North America but it is still crashing on start up, its not prompting me to download the patch anymore, just crashing.

Mirrike

Tryed a repair, it verified the entire download, then tried to download 26752MB.
I thought the patch was only 5 gig ?

Mirrike

Bethesda / Zenimax whoever the vendor is, should not sell software that has a client this unstable. And especially charge patrons a monthly fee for all this hassle.

UPrime

Point of clarification, the patcher has 2 stages:
Download Stage: which is where it actually downloads a package
Patch Stage: This is where it applies the patch. No downloading at this stage. In OP's case, a 2gb download being sprinkled through out your 30gb of files. It goes through them and applies the patch where needed.

WyndStryke

Yes, as the above posts have correctly identified, 'Applying patch' is when the downloaded 2gb patch is being applied to your existing game files. The speed shown is the speed of the code-merge, and the size shown is the size of your pre-existing game executables which are being merged.

Lol, yeah, because this totally isn't the Customer Service forum, for people who have problems. Obviously I am not the only one with this problem, you should probably read replies -before- posting.

I recommend you wipe your machine, reinstall windows, install ESO and nothing else.

Don't customize, don't modify, don't even install antivirus. Just use the machine to play ESO, and get a different computer for everything else.

Your problems should be fixed after that.

Bahahahahaha, that made me literally LOL. Mine is working gloriously now. Came back after 3 months and its working fantastic. No lag, hardly any lag spikes, frame rate issues = non existent for me. Guild stores have been optimized. Game is going in a good direction imo.

Pure luck. Just wait until the next major content update.

Guild stores have been optimized.

But we haven't been able to even use them yet. LOL

I also had this problem.

I restarted the launcher tried to replair. Same thing again. Killed the ESO proces. Restarted the launcher. Then it started to download a 3.3 GB patch.

It is not done yet but I hope it will work.

Nonono, I mean before this patch they were optimized. At launch I could search for crafting materials and the store would show everything except crafting materials. Now we can user filters and actually find thngs.
