I kept getting an error message today while trying to get on NA. The error said it was Steam-related, in my game.

SeaGtGruff

I'm on NA and I'm using Steam. I was on EU about an hour ago.

Huyen

My game just insta-crashes whenever I try to load it - both normally and through steam.

Dusk_Coven

On PC(NA) and not Steam. Had a huge lag spike not too long ago but seems okay at the moment.

Megatto

I'm not using Steam when logging in to ESO

OMFG could someone PLEASE give me a detailed guide on how to fix this ***' Error 200 please?!

If ZOS ain't breaking something in the game, they're breaking the launcher. Get your *** together, ZOS!

Are you still getting Error 200 when logging in?

The troubleshooting below can help with this error if it continues:

• Ensure that any anti-virus/firewall protection has exception rules for The Elder Scrolls Online.
• Ensure the following ports are open on your modem / router:
  • TCP / UDP Ports 24100 through 24131
  • TCP / UDP Ports 24300 through 24331
  • TCP / UDP Ports 24500 through 24507
  • TCP Port 80

And what if I don't understand anything of router and ports and all that ***?

Then you'll have to google how to do these things.

Find your router, it will have the login information on a sticker on it most likely.

Go to your browser and type you routers address into the address bar. Usually the address is 192.168.0.1 or something similar.

Use the username and password (usually different than the Wifi password) to login. Start looking around for the settings given above and change them if necessary.

FWIW I have found those settings to almost never be the issue, especially if it the problem starts up all of a sudden.
