@gard - I have tried this before, but since my account is linked to my Steam I get an error message. Something to the tune of "you need to launch Steam to play this".Running the game without logging in to steam:
Directly launch the launcher by running
Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\Launcher\Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe
Or directly launch the 64 bit client by running
Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso64.exe
Or the 32 bit client by running
Z:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso.exe
You do not need to use the launcher unless the client is out of date (it will warn you and exit if this is the case.)

Is there a way around that?

To my knowledge the Steam launcher must be used now. It was an update a few months back. Before that people could get away with launching with ESO game launcher but no more. I might be wrong because I have had no need to try it as I have the old version from before.
Why are you trying to get around the launcher people? What is the real issue?

When do you get the error message? After you launch eso64.exe and put in your credentials?
Although I can log in to eso directly from steam, I don't recall ever linking my steam and eso account. Maybe that's the difference.
