    Workaround for those currently not yet afflicted:
    If you want to relaunch (or launch to begin with) the game, use the eso.exe directly and not the regular launcher. This is precisely why it did not affect me but my spouse, since I am launching the game with SweetFX enabled through another launcher that directly accesses the eso.exe itself.

    Hope this will at least reach some of the possibly-inflicted.

    I think this only works if you have not already encountered the bug as it would bypass the patching.

    That suggests that the older client is what the server is looking for not our newer, patched version.

    @Harleyquinceyeb17_ESO - what version client do you have using your work around?

    After not being able to get into keep for whole bloody minute, being Emperor, trying to save it, wandering around with 20 more fellow EP players and being pushed to purge myself 5-6 times to get my heal debug removed, bcs or hordes of archers - no, thanks, it gets too much.

    Doesn't matter. Did not work.
    Please state the path to the ESO.exe. Perhaps I did a mistake...

    This, as I stated, only works for those who have not been inflicted :)
    Once you caught the disease (patch), you can't un-catch it. So let's see what the solution shall be. They could either have a downtime on a Sunday to quickly patch the server as well (tears galore if it's for more than an hour of downtime) or de-patch clients.. but I'm not sure if the patcher's design allows this.

    The path to the eso.exe is
    ZeniMax Online/The Elder Scrolls Online EU/game/client/

    For EU players that is, of course.

    I'd say we gift ZOS a few cans of coffee for the poor sod that has, probably sleep-deprived, set this patch to publish. I don't want to be in his hide today, nope.

    I raised a CS ticket via the web site FWIW. Would suggest others waiting to play do the same and refer to this thread or forum so they don't waste too much time with their 'Good morrow fellow adventurer' nonsense.

    A decent volume of tickets might encourage them to wake someone up in the US :)

    I am quoting myself now

    Workaround for those currently ----> not yet afflicted <

    This was what I stated in my original post and it seems that people just didn't read it thooughly. The "solution" I posted is, explicitly, meant only for those who have ->NOT<- patched their client yet.

    I hope this clarifies it even more than it originally was :smiley:

    Kinda feel sorry for them, Sunday morning, having to come in with a massive hangover, breath like an ashtray, headache, and then they find out someone has broken the client overnight, bet they wish they has stayed in bed.

    Same here both myself and my girlfriend were playing fine this morning, both got crashed out and now can not connect. It keeps say wrong version and the repair just does nothing apart from re DL the the patch. Bloody stupid to release a patch on a Sunday and only the client side without updating the servers, if that's the case.

    What I find particularly disappointing is whoever released the patch did not, as a final check, verify a client still works, just went home with fingers crossed.
