Error 303 during installation

djdado16

here

edit: i tried to delete all,again downloading, i even try your metod to cancel updating click repair and i got this message...

Turelus

Same error message for me as well.
The launcher downloads about 2x%, I get a 303 error message. If I try to repair at any point I get the error shown above, otherwise it starts the entire installation process over again.

Right now I have a clean system for the game, I have removed all previous files, addons, settings etc.

Everytime it breaks up after downloading the ~5,2 gb and says, click repair,
It trys to download 0,46mb and the same error as shown before appears.

Hope it will be fixed soon. Bought the game 5 hours ago and i just wanna play

What i tried until now:
- deinstalled it and installed it on an different partition /failed
- started the launcher as an administrator /failed
- tried the "trick" posted above, endet in the repair-fail-message

You're obviously incompetent. In 20 years of playing MMOs I've never seen a company releasing a patch that breaks not only the ability to play the game but also the possibility of any potential customers installing their game. Keep in mind that the patience of your customers has a limit and you are reaching that limit pretty fast. If you continue to show that level of incompetence the financial results won't be late.

i tried to open Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe to see if there is maybe somewhere mistake or somethin' but of course its password protected .... So we are waiting 10101210 days to fix this

It's a problem with the Zip file in Depot, there's nothing we personally can do about this.

Yep, it's completely ridiculous.. This is literally more than a full day of paying washed away. >.>

Still not as bad as when CCP Games released an update for EVE Online which deleted everyone's boot.ini files. :disagree:

This is still frustrating however, been checking the forums all day and trying multiple downloads in hopes it works.

It's not exactly a good first impression if your new customers can't even install their newly bought game, or already-customers can't patch it and get on there. One day's worth of sub washed down the drain

It's so annoying that not a single thing works, it's really up to the devs to fix this..

Turelus

Oh I fully agree @Wolfess and please don't think I am trying to defend how terrible this is. I would hope they offer some kind of compensation for it, although I am not sure how they would track who had legitimate issues and who didn't.

Wolfess

@Turelus‌ Oh no no, I didn't think that It'd be great if they'd be able to .. I don't know, give a free day, or 2, in subscription or some fun in game item but as you say, it's not really easy or doable to figure out who actually had problems..

Free days for everyone? :P

Turelus

They have been pretty good with giving some complimentary time in the past. We had some during early access / first month because of the downtimes suffered as well as a few people getting some from a PVP bug which was suffered. Once it's all fixed might be worth sending their support team a polite message asking about it.

AshySamurai

The worst thing is that CS is silent. So:
1. They don't know what to do and how to fix it.
2. They don't care.

svarteryttaren

I can not remember the last time I bought or downloaded a software that didnt install on a windows system. That fact leads me to believe that this should be realy simpel to controle?

Playing other games in the meentime. Devs plz post here when you have fixed your installer so we can do other things with our time instead of trying at our end.

Hope you find the problem soon, best regards, customer.

AshySamurai

CS answered to me - reinstall launcher (doesn't helped to me). Anyway, it's better than nothing.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
Reinstall launcher did nothing.

I've created a post with screenshoots in the french customer support :

I think we possibly could fix it if someone will share files from depot folder, but here is forbidden to share files. All is left to hope that ZOS will fix it before next maintenance.

Wolfess

I'm starting to wonder if the devs even -read- this thread?

There are TONS of players who can't install the game. You're making an absolutely bàd first impression on people, like myself, who bought the game yesterday afternoon and haven't been able to play it yet, just been stressed out over how it simply won't install.

Please stop answering with completely irrelevant fixes, I can assure you everyone here has tried re-installing or repairing..

djdado16

They answer reinstall launcher... OMG, are they ****ing stupid or what? so who f*ck us, thats their answer....we got a real deal here...

Reinstalling does nothing because the entire EU update branch is broken at the moment.

Instead of downloading the game (as a fresh install is supposed to do) it will only donwload the latest patch (5GB) and nothing else. This will then lead to the invalid memory size error being thrown in a loop.

It will not work because it's the EU update branch that's broken. Not even a fresh install will work.

Wolfess

I've posted a new thread here, I hope the title will make it clear to them that we're simply not able to even install the game right now..

Nimrael

I resubbed two days ago after 5 months.
Figured the game would be issue free to play 7 months after release.

And now I can't even install it lol...

I reckon this might be my shortest re-sub ever.

svarteryttaren

Well I was billed for 3 months to february, 1-2 days before sunday and the begining of this debacle. Unsubbing at this point doesnt give anything realy. Since I figure it wont take 3 months for Zenimax to fix this.

AshySamurai

I billed for 180 days. I'm here till april. The Eight help us.

Wolfess

"Luckily" I chose a monthly sub, still sucks

bt86bt

Same problem, EU-server (mac-client)
(tried all the, cancel update, repair etc suggestions by ZOS)

AshySamurai

@bt86bt, welcome to the club!
