Forced Reinstall?

PureEnvelope35 · October 2016

Even though I had both EU and NA downloaded, it seems that I have to reinstall the entire game, this is quite the problem I don't have enough storage after installing both EU, PTS and NA on my hard drive, all of which kept their files but are not in use. Anyone else have this? Or is this just an exclusive thing to me and my shoddy luck?

i have totally fresh computer, and nada i did was working, game crashes the moment i click the play button, same when i click the exe, reinstall didnt help and i downloaded the game from my better halfs computer to try it, but didnt help either. now redownloading game, hopefully it will work.

ps> after first reinstall did heavy cleaning on my ssd in hopes that it will sort it out.

It is happening to alot of people. My game is currently also redownloading the entire thing....

I believe it has something to do with renaming of the folder where the game is in. Have considered renaming, but too scared i will mess up things even more...

EDIT;

Checked. Game is already there in folder on C/Programs(x86)/Zenimax Online/The Elder Scrolls Online ... But it is downloading full game to same place, but new folder called "The Elder Scrolls Online EU".. At least that is what it looks like to me...

Can anyone confirm if full reintall can be avoided by doing some renaming on folders?

This DLC completely ruined my game files. Had to do a completely fresh install of everything last night. By the time it was all finished I had to go to sleep. Hopefully it worked out and I'll be able to post terrible things on these forums tonight about all of the broken bits of the game.

Ok good to see I'm not alone in being forsaken.

Allright, this is the fix @PureEnvelope35

Go to folder, as i explain. Delete the "new" folder (WARNING check which folder is empty). Rename the other one.

Boom. Now you can launch at it will work as intended.

It is all related to the game defaulting to NA server services. Same reason as why people are getting no characters etc.

Yeah, I tried to update the game earlier. Next thing I know it forces my pc to restart and I had to reinstall the entire game. I'm a returning player and it took ages for the updates to download, never mind the entire game =(.
