Thank you again for the great information, this is helping our research while finding a solution. Some players are reporting that manually editing the hosts file is allowing them to connect to the launcher and patch servers as it forces your connection to find a new path.
Our support team is working hard to get in touch with everyone to gather the necessary information, but in the mean time if you would like to give it a try, it's worth a shot!
To do so, please try the following:
1. Open the Run menu by pressing the Windows key and R
2. Type in the following command to the runbox: notepad c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
3. Once Notepad has opened the file, search for the line that contains the following information:
##.##.##.## launcher.bethesda.net
Please note that the # represents the numbers of the direct IP Address
4. Delete that entire line from the Hosts file
5. Save the changes but do NOT use "Save As" because this will change the Hosts file's extension
Thank you again, and please let us know if it helps resolve your issue!
