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?

crevaini

Same problem here.. EU server.. I this a EU server only issue or is the NA server also having the same issue?

Well, 2 days of my subscription left. This time, for real I'll say goodbye.
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.
Where is fix for alchemy writ? Got it again and again.
Not to speak my empress has war paint all over the body and armor and it does not go away, no matter what I do(reported it twice - before it fixes by relogging, now it doesnt).

@PE_Bagatur‌
Bagatur, i have never forgotten about you my friend, that made me purple food when you were still in my guild.

I cannot login either atm but will be sad to see you go.

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.

... Or we fire the trainee, who takes the responsibility for this sunday morning crash.

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

Cinbri

<-- just another one dude with same problem.

SoupDragon

Same here. And I was going to stay in all day. Now what should I do?
I really hope Zeni fix this soon!

Kaiyanwan

We are in the future. Unfortunately, the servers are still in the here and now.

This is the price you have to pay for time travelling!

Stickleback

Same problem here, also tried the eso.exe file without any luck.

darmok2eb17_ESO

Client repairing...

Starwhite

Doesn´t help ...

Ilmarthethief

Same here. Zenimax, where you got this lousy code monkeys from?

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

Pappa

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.
Time to hit the Red Bull and Coffees...

necrodarklingb16_ESO

Same Problem Gameconsultant didnt help at all really hope Zos brings a fix for that

Kaiyanwan

Is there a way to donate more coffee for the Sunday morning shift at ZOS?

T@rty

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.

Ashurek20

Same here

craniumguy

Same problem here "Invalid Client" - EU server.

global_gbb16_ESO

Rule of thumb - a bit like Don't Drink and Drive:

Don't Party and Code.

AbraXuSeXile

Same!

GG!

phineasf

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.

RoburRoy

I can understand the rush of error correction in the game .. But was it worth it to start repairs on the weekend ? Thank you , Zenimax, for a wonderful holiday...

jupiter126

full reinstall fails too - PatchError_unzipfail \o/
... installer also broken : GG!

mdegarispreeb18_ESO

Same problem here, can't login 'invalid and out-dated client'. I suspect this patch was released in error - as I can't seen any posted patch notes for 1.5.3.

sebban

Same problem here.

jupiter126

I wish they switched coders with their billing system - didn't seem to be any issues on that side so far!

T@rty

if is is a unscheduled release, those of us who are affected could stuffed until tuesday's server update :-(

RensDG

Here i am. Thought to watch some WoW website stuff. As i quit the game months ago but im still curious for the new expansion and it's looks.

In doubt if i should make the 10 year round trip... but nahhh, ill log into eso...
