A Fatal error 8 - after update dated 17th of July 2018

Hey!

I have updated the game today (with issues as always) and now I receive a "fatal error 8" message just after pressing PLAY.

When I try to verify and repair the installation - it gets stuck at 53%.
Downloading and installing a new launcher - not working.
Moving addons outside of the inventory - not working.

Any ideas what to do (apart from reinstalling the game)?

thanks

    One more step you can try for Fatal Error 8 is deleting the launcher folder. You can find this by default at C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher. If deleting this folder and repairing doesn't help with the error, please go ahead and open a ticket with customer support.

    Hey BillE!

    Thank you for an advice - I have my game up and running right now :)

    Cheers!
