Download failed

mmcgibbo

Couldn't download the update. Had an issue where I needed to repair the download. Did this happen to anyone else?

E-Zekiel

Yes. I got the big one done, but then it keeps downloading a 24mb patch and when it goes to apply it, it fails as it gets to the end.

mmcgibbo

Same. I'm in the process of repairing it now. Ill update again if it succeeds or fails.

Wow

Happened to someone in discord, eso corrupted and is forcing him to download 44gigs again

Smasherx74

happens to me often as well.

phatdfreem

this happens to me after they do any major update...its getting to be quite annoying...

Starting the launcher as admin fixed it for me.

E-Zekiel

Can we fix the patcher or something? I am so *** sick of this happening once a month. My internet ping is decent, but my download speed is absolute ass (0.14 mb/s) because it's the only thing available to me in the middle of the woods.

It takes me so *** long to download this game. Seriously, do something about this horrible, horrible patcher. This *** is making me want to quit despite the fact I really like the game a lot. I just don't like sitting on my damn ass for so long every time the patcher corrupts the game.

E-Zekiel

To provide some perspective - 44 gig to me generally means 3-5 days of downloading, depending on how much I want to use my internet while the game re-downloads.

Kill everything with ESO in it in your task manager, possibly reboot your computer, re-run the launcher again. That's what fixes it for me, hope it works for you as well.

E-Zekiel

Yeah, did that and rebooted, nada. Ended up just letting it "fail" again, then launching eso64.exe manually. No problems so far, but I wish I didn't have to feel weird using a workaround like that.
