Error 206 - Patch manifest error_unzip failed (jan. 31, 2018)

emilyhyoyeon

I am on PC EU, but the problem is also with NA

I am receiving the error: "Error 206 - PatchManifestError_UnzipFailed" when I open the ESO launcher. I am unable to repair the client. When I click "repair," I get the same error.

I have already seen these solutions:

https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/8357/kw/206

Neither of these solutions work/apply. There are no "patchdata" at all.


I am not able to log in to submit a ticket.

Clicking the "log in" button after I type my ID and password, does not do anything. It seems like the "log in" button does not respond. "Account recovery" button does respond (but that isn't what I need).


Is this an authenticator issue?

Furcula

Same thing just happened to me. Game was working perfectly fine earlier today.

RogueJD

Same here. Have attempted the above fixes.

Worked yesterday. No known changes to configuration since.

Kalitas

Same here

CowNRB

Same problem here! @ZOS_GinaBruno any updates? It's clearly affecting multiple people

emilyhyoyeon

You can launch straight from the eso64.exe

Confirmed this works PCNA

Same issue here, cannot even repair the launcher. None of the above solutions work, the game files are on on the whitelist for the anti-virus as well....

worked for me too

emilyhyoyeon

As long as your game (before this issue happened) is on the current patch, then logging in through the eso64 method should work.

obviously this isn't a long term solution though

I tried launching from eso64.exe but didn't work.

SweetRoll

I am also getting the 206 error

Fentari

ESO is getting rid of the 32 version with Update 17, maybe that's the problem

got Error 206 as I logged out of ESO

went and checked all files for patch data as stated here

no patchfiles anywhere, so launched from 64 version in Admin mode and I am ok now

Candra_Soulbane

I'm having the same issue. I hope this is fixed soon because looking at the number of people having this problem it seems like it isn't a me issue.

gref

PCNA
eso64 worked turned off all addons
launcher still dont work

Harqun

same here, was actually on with no issues an hour ago. now logging back I get "error-206-patchmanifesterror-unzipfailed"

Rhoande

Five of my guildmates including me are having this issue. I was able to log in, so were others via the exe. But getting reports that if you log out, it is locking you out. So be mindful of this.

Hopefully ZOS will fix it quick, shouldn't be too big of an issue to revert the patcher.

Threemoons

Ditto, just got home. ESO, you have a major problem. I want to log in to get the new items, and, you know, play. Please get on this ASAP.

PaulD

Insofar as a short test can determine, there is no availability of the patch manifest file at the link given on the support page. I would therefore suspect that it's not there or the web service is blocking for some reason.

Gothic

Same. Worked yesterday - doesn't work today.

Omega_Cumulonimbus

ditto-206 error. Previous remedies of no help.

TrustedDentist

same. was working fine yesterday evening.

cameron90_ESO

Got booted from game and locked out because of this issue now.

WhiteScythe

Glad it's not just me I was starting to get really pissed off. Yes I launched from eso64.exe

What is going on?

Candra_Soulbane

I've tried using the eso64.exe but I can't login because I have a Steam version of the game and it says that I must log in using Steam. Logging in using Steam uses the launcher.
