I'm not dowloading the patch yet. Is somethng broken on my end or yours.

Mawgusta

Just asking.

CowNRB

don't think the patch is out yet.

RedTalon

Not out yet

Does "the patch hasn't been release yet" count as something being broken?

Actually, you're right, it totally could... Something could be broken and they're trying to fix it, which has prevented them from releasing the patch. So much for my smart-ass one-liner! *hangs head in shame*

Going to have a lot of angry people tonight. They get home from work and school and have to download a patch that may take hours. So much for playing today I guess.

Hmm, you might be on to something.

Should I run it as administrator?

Well you should always run it as administrator anyway, but it's not going to make any difference right now, because the patch isn't available yet!

Mawgusta

I can't log in either if this helps.

It doesn't help.

NO ONE is downloading the patch because it isn't available for download.
NO ONE can log in because the server is still offline.

Patience young padewan!

So you're saying that while the server is down for maintenance and to apply the server-side part of the patch you can't log in? Um...

Alright now we're talking. Is that it? How do I apply the server side part? Sorry I'm a noob to computer stuff.

Just open the game and the download will begin when they release the patch for download that is.

Epona222

OK now I get it, I think OP is deliberately trying to be comedic

You should not need to do anything special but have the launcher running / start it at the time when the patch is available. According to the moderators from ESO team they think it should be out around 10am PDT according tot he last post they made.

So just hold in there, the servers are down and no patch is out right now.

I really hope this is the case, because otherwise this is just sad.

CowNRB

Nothing you can do will make it work (unless you work at ZOS) sorry. lol

It usually takes about six hours for a major patch. It has been three and a half hours. The last time, it was about eight hours, but that was the largest patch ever.

There was a time, when every half-way computer literate knew that the first step in having a safe&sound system was to create a user with severe access restrictions and use that over an administrator account for day to day work.

Now we even think it is a good idea to not only log on as admin, but also give completely irrelevant applications, with open connections to the web, administrator rights.

Something, somewhere inside me, just died over this epiphany.

For anyone who hasn't experienced a major update like this before, there are two phases.
1. ZoS updates their servers, which they expected to take at least 5 hours.
2. Once the game servers are fully updated and confirmed stable, they release the patch on the update servers, for us to start downloading. 10GB worth or so. Once that has downloaded and installed (and there are usually a few incremental updates after the initial main patch), you can then login and play.

PS: After any patch, it is very common to see error 109 "Patch manifest error/ version mismatch" errors on the launcher. Your launcher is checking the current installed version against some echo of an old version somewhere else on the internet, and finding discrepancies. Just close the launcher and re-open until you see a "Play" option instead. If you Don't see a "Play" option after at least three tries, try doing the "Repair" ONCE. This is a lot faster than doing a reinstall, even though it LOOKS like it is about to reinstall the same 10GB.

PPS: after you finally login to the new version, all your character skill and attribute points will have been reset. You will need to reassign them (on each character, if you have multiples).

PPPS: Oh yes, if you have Addons, they will probably be broken. Make sure to initially turn OFF addons, then go out and download all the latest versions and try those instead. Or check your favorite addons again every day until a new compatible version is available.

Because there is nothing that you CAN do right now.

Everything that is being done is being done by the game developers right now. Once there is something that you CAN do, it will start automatically if you have the launcher up.

So I shouldn't run as administrator?

Edit: I'll try that.

CowNRB
