Sam old same old, is there any game company out there that can actually do this stuff right?

I raise you 50 dollars and put EA's DICE handling of BF4 into the mix.

Incompetence with a capital I. At least Zenimax respond to issues within the same month.

I agree.

Lets talk about Diablo, Simcity and all other games that broke on launch and made many upset, some still not fixed now :P . People cry as soon as this game goes down for a couple hours. Yes we are in advance technology but things go wrong. When they do maybe do some housework you should have done since the last patch, maybe go outside and speak to people ... YES REAL PEOPLE!. maybe just maybe go on the forums and laugh @ all the people crying who dont know what to do this morning.

It will be fixed soon and we can all moan about the lag in Cyrodiil instead dw :P

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).

Can I have your stuff and money?

Hi there,

Thank you for your reports regarding this issue. Are team is looking into the problem and we will let you know as soon as we have more information.

Some thoughts thoughts:

When there is major problem that prevents game playing:
1. It should be indicated clearly on elderscrollsonline.com main page and on forum main page.
- This should happen always when expected downtime is 30 minutes or more
- Indicates that problem solving is ongoing and there is no need to file bug reports
- Probably limits number of threads concerning the problem (ZOS need to post answers to smaller number of threads)

2. Dowtime should be automatically compensated
- Even scheduled maintenance should be compensated (1:1 compensation in this case)
- When downtime is not scheduled the compensation should be more (for example 4h downtime is compensated by 1 day)

You don't need to download patches and install it. Just move all *.version files to another place, start launcher and don't install it, then close it and put *.version files back. After it game should work. I did this.[/quote]

I deleted those to fix the original manifest error, as per the sticky.

After doing that when I logged on, it said client was invalid/out of date.

Should I then be cancelling my current DL and closing it down, put the files back in?

Personally I wouldn't touch the client until we are given the all clear. Otherwise you may end up with a client in such a state that the "fix" won't be applicable to you ( = full client re-install).

I think this should cover it...

justinbarrett

so we still have no word of what is really happening, just he nonsense "we are looking into it" time buying BS. worst case the need to patch the servers...that can mean commenting out a lot of code, changing the build number whatever....I do not know what build environment they use or the size of the kernal any of that...I basically have no idea....I do know it should be done though
and more importantly, they should show us some respect and actually make a staff post that explains what is going on and what they are doing....a little respect goes a long way....without that post they are showing that we are not important enough to inform. Or our little minds could not comprehend it...either way...it feels like I am not playing, and they are kicking my dog.

Did people try just running eso.exe as they may well be a launcher issue? I forgot to do this before I hit reinstall . This error has been occurring randomly before this patch; some times restating the launcher would make the error go away but not in this case. I didn't try restarting my windows before reinstall. It would be good if there was more bandwidth available on the download as its only coming down at 6Mb/s

ludusb16_ESO

full client reinstall fails! Tried that before i noticed this thread.. After downloading 5 gb i got a patch error.

I mean what you need to do in case of error 209. Current problem is more complicated, because now we have patched client and old server. Thats why server told you that you have wrong client.
I expirienced 209 a month ago, and solution was like I said. Here is discussion on this matter:

DONT HIT THE UNINSTALL !!!! OUCH

AshTal

I am getting the same issue, annoying yes

However ESO has been one of the most stable MMO's I have played. We seem to get things fixed and moving quickly compared to some MMO's. Still would be nice to see a comment here.

I am currently re-installing that looks like it's going to take a few hours and by the looks of things wont work

A re-install wont work, it will reinstall but to the correct version as per the patcher.elderscrollsonline.com which is.. not the correct version.
you will reinstall all 30 odd gig, and still be at the wrong version

I've now added the Mod post to the first post.

Funny thing for me is, that my launcher patched to 1.5.3 but the launcher of my husband didn't.

Why people even do this? It seems this is not a big deal just to wait a little for ZOS to release hot fix patch.
Or this is now a really huge problem?

Resonation

my download stops around 30% and gives me this


Error 303 PatchError_UnZipFail

Failed to open patch, please click repair for your game. If the
issue persists please contact customer support

Mhmm it is...you have new patched client and the server has older versions ^^ The client has downloadet the upcoming patch.

I think, the best solution is to update the server to 1.5.3

Than you have good luck, because you can copy the files and put it over your files.

Thanks Mishanya.

Manifest errors I have resolved before with little issue

You know, in hind sight, I'm really glad my launcher crashed before I left for work. Now I might be able to play today after work.
