NOTE THIS IS AN OLD THREAD, THESE EDITS ARE ALSO OLD!
EDIT2: I just got in, seems to be working now!
EDIT: How do I get a password for my Steam eso account? How do I login to the website? I can't choose to create an account because then I need to specify an account name to create; but I already have an account name. Im confused here. Did I create an account back when I bought it, (that was several years ago, I think, cant remember specifically when) and just forgot about it? What do I do then?
I have two accounts, my own and one for my kids. The one for my kids is a Steam account and it can't login it gets a "Server connection timed out please try again later" every time. So I thought I would try to contact support but then when I go to login in on the website it occurred to me that I don't have an account there because it was bought through Steam. Anyone know what I can do from here to get support? Or perhaps just an idea on how to solve the error?

✭It appears to be an issue when launching through Steam. Launching the game via the eso64.exe works.2 -
sentientomega✭✭✭I'm getting this as well, for Steam. For non-steam, I seem to be logging in just fine.
I hope they'll fix the Steam issue soon...1 -

No4h✭✭Same for me.
I can't login on the EU server but I can login on the American server using steam.0 -
Hum I managed to login through steam as soon as the servers came back up, but I had to restart my computer before resuming playing, so I exited, restarted and after that I can't login anymore.dayum0 -

I can use the eso64.bit exe, doesn't give me an error. But of course it wants a password because it is not done through Steam, so I will try to create an account now on the website to see if I can use the password I select there to login with.
Ah man, that wont work because it want's me to create a eso ID. But I already got one?? So how do I get a password for my Steam eso account????Edited by Jayman1000 on April 12, 2018 3:33PM0 -
TheCyberDruid✭✭✭✭✭And there was me thinking that the longer maintenance means that they'd do a proper job this time...2 -
Pennylong✭✭✭The ese64 only works for people that joined before a specific date, think it was like early 2016 or something.0 -

Greifenherz✭✭✭I got the same problem, I can login if I start the game through its executable directly, but not if I start it through Steam.1 -

I.e. for people who rebuyed game on Steam so they had to create ESO account before that.The ese64 only works for people that joined before a specific date, think it was like early 2016 or something.
Yes, you need to have create ESO account and then link with Steam one.Jayman1000 wrote: »
That's what I did - I played for free on Steam, bought it after free period was over and then later created ESO account (and linked with Steam) so I could register and access forum here.
EDIT
I tried it and it doesn't work when I enter my ESO account credentials. It says to start via Steam.
Edited by exiars10 on April 12, 2018 3:46PMI don't play ESO since 15.06. because Cyrodiil is broken since Summerset (PvE isn't much better, too)...
