How to launch ESO with out steam (even if you bought through steam)

I have bought the game through steam however if I want I can play it through the stand alone launcher as well. This is why the game installs twice if you haven't noticed.
Go to where you have installed the game. Example : C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client
and launch either eso or eso64 from that folder.
No need for steam if you have issues with it.

Also I have linked my account but I know my account details to log through the stand alone launcher, normally you should know your log in details too...0 -

I did not know that..
I bought mine before 2016 I think 0 -
Swergdach✭✭✭Good job, Sherlock. But there is one little problem: this way is not working for people who bought the game after one specific date. Every time during these "Steam errors" there is a person who talks about the way to start through eso64.exe, but in most cases it does not work. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯0

Did you link it to Steam or did you actually buy it from the Steam store in 2017? I know from personal experience that anyone that bought if from the F2P weekend in November of 2016 going forward can't launch it properly outside of Steam. I myself spent several months back and forth between Steam and ZOS trying to get my account moved to a standard account and was denied.0 -

That's not it. I bought mine 2/11/17 on steam and I can launch it through the .exe just fine. I didn't link my two accounts until fall/winter of 2017, but I can't find an email to get the exact date. So there is something else that differentiates between the accounts who can login and can't using the .exeEdited by adeptusminor on June 18, 2018 12:14AM0 -

Bought it as a Steam code from Humble Bundle. IIRC I had to create an ESO account during installation after Steam downloaded the installer.0 -
