    EDIT: Use the eso.exe out of your installation folder, to bypass the launcher!

    I have been using the eso.exe from the beginning to start my game.
    The only times I use the launcher is when I update patches.

    This is the main reason I can laugh all the way in game :p as I dont have the same issues as most of you guys who start the game trough your launcher.

    Not much of a response, just that they are looking into it.
    Damn, you would think they would check a patch works before they roll it out.
    And if it doesn't work, you would think they would have some method of letting us undo the patch.

    It's not even that. It looks like the patch went live before the server updated. So the patch probably works fine, it's just the server that is calling BS on it.

    You know, I think that's even worse, getting a server to recognise a patch is even more basic than making sure the patch works.

    Not quite. The server and the client need to have the same version. They probably work together fine, the problem is they haven't updated the server along with the clients... which would mean taking it down for maintenance.

    Well call me stupid, but that sounds like the only solution then, because once some of us have the update, we can't un-update.

    Yeah, that is probably the only real solution.

    So how long do you think it will take for this to occur to them?

    Worst case? The 1.5.3 server build isn't actually ready for prime time, which could mean as much as 28 hours (since it was scheduled to be pushed live at 8am Monday)... best case? Two or three more hours.

    ok, oh well, I'll play another game for a few hours and see if it's fixed, thanks.

    I'm really wishing there was a "sympathy" button right now... I'm in NA, so this isn't actually affecting me. :\

    Thanks, I'll take sympathy.
    I'ld prefer a working game....., But I'll take sympathy.

    Has this patch been put on the NA launcher too or only on the EU one?

    Hey there, @brandon. The error some users were seeing today only affected those on the EU megaserver. The fix has been pushed to Live, and those players are now able to log into the game. Players on the NA megaserver were not affected.

    Maybe next time EU server players complain about NA getting updates first you'll remember this.

    As said above by Jason, the fix has been pushed to Live, and those players are now able to log into the game. Thank you for your understanding and patience!
