I just screwed up my firewall settings and CANNOT log in to ESO when the firewall is turned on.
There is no problem when the firewall is completely shut down. ESO then runs fine.

I get the error: "Error 201 Login failed Please try again"
---> Also the announcements fail to show with the message: "Could not retrieve announcements."

What are the programs I should be giving exception access permissions to in the firewall? (Other than the one called eso64.exe) I'm running ZoneAlarm.

Thank you.

    It sounds like one of those random error codes people get sometimes because the game decides it hates us. I get an error code after every patch now, only mine is a different code.

    Might want to post this in the technical support forum. Here's a link to the PC forum: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/categories/pc-technical-support

    Only run the launcher on update/maintenence days OP, use the shortcut for 64 bit exe any other time.

    Repair your game install and reset your router, I have the error code you mention too, with every maintenence or update.

    I use Norton however, but firewall exception should be ok with just eso64.exe, if not, then add other eso related exes to firewall exceptions then it has nothing to moan about hehe.

    But generally repairing game install/resetting the router works.

    Thanks for the replys everybody.

    I overlooked the fact I have two ESOs to give permission to. PTS had permission. That's what I was looking at. My exception list said that ESO had permission. Same program name but a different location for the LIVE ESO. Added the LIVE ESO location to the exceptions list. ...LOL... Two ESOs ... but ... two different locations.

    All works fine now.
