Constantly repairing my install on PC

So since I finally decided to start playing again a couple of days ago this is the THIRD time I've had to run Repair on my PC install. I keep getting some idiotic "manifest error" and it can't figure out what version I'm running. It takes a lo-o-o-ong time to run the repair so I have to sit and twiddle my thumbs waiting. Has anyone else run into this or am just "lucky" to have yet another bozo coding surprise from Zenimax?

    That has been an ongoing thing for the last number of patches, most people only open the lanker for patch day and short cut the exe to their desktop, don't need the launcher open to run the game just to patch.

    Think they need to fix launcher really or make a new one

    That would be much faster than repairing the damn install. What a bunch of rookie devs they've got working there. Bugs from 6 months ago are still here. And they've managed to add some new ones. I especially like Raz telling me he can't stand the smell of the forge in another zone. :smile: Seriously, if they're going to patch the content they should put out some audio that matches. smh.

    Sometimes it even helps already when you close and re-open the launcher. If it doesn't work the first time, try again, it WILL work at least after a few times trying. You definitely do NOT have to repair.

    This is what I do. Annoying, but not the worst bug in the game. I never do the repair process because it doesn't actually need repaired.

    I get this error constantly every time there's a patch and it usually goes away by the next day. Though this last patch has caused it come up constantly for nearly two weeks now. As others have said, repairing will do nothing. Same with port triggering or messing with your firewall (though the latter has lowered the chances of it happening slightly though).

    I just close the launcher and wait 15 seconds and reopen. Fixes it every time.

    Yeah that works, you don't even need to wait 15 seconds. Just do it a few times, close launcher, reopen launcher... until it shows play.
