Can't launch game. "Patch required, please download and install" error - but no patch is available?

JayKwellen

So here's a new one.

Just turned on my Xbox and tried to start eso and got that error message.

I noticed it patching when my Xbox first started but then it was done after a few seconds, except now the game won't start and I keep getting that error message. Xbox is telling me there's nothing that needs updating and no updates available.

So uh, anyone have any idea what's going on?

Edit: Xbox series X, NA server

Least it's not just me! Comforting, in a sad sort of way.

Same, crashed in vCoS and game prompted an 860mb update upon restarting. Now I can’t even play. Zos is unbelievable.

ANGEL_BtVS

same issue...

MurderMostFoul

Well, hopefully this doesn't ruin my opportunity to play ESO on Friday night.

OP, can you change the title of your post to add "can't play" or something like that so the core of the issue is more obvious.

Holy Crud, I was thinking cool ZOS is fixing the game. Nope broke it more.

XBox NA cant log in patch required error message. My patch is complete and I restarted the Xbox, still a no go.

Same for my Alt account and my man - also on Xbox NA

Dalsinthus

Same here. Unable to get into the game.

Mik195

Me too. And I tried a full restart of the console, checked for updates and then tried the game. Still not working.

Also tried deleting saved data...no joy.

ImGentner

Game crashed, game updated, now cant play. Whatever that 800mb update is the problem. Was playing fine all day

lightsidejedi

Same here

shalalaA7X

Mine required update and had a 835 mb update. Idk Xbox na

shalalaA7X

Then after downloaded that 835 mb have the patch required please download

You should really be trying this kind of bs at 3am, not prime time Friday. At least come in here and say some junk @ZOS_GinaBruno

They better be compensating heavily in the near future for this abysmal performance which has now progressively worsened since Markarth dropped.

This literally just broke, at least there is now a banner acknowledging it on the forums.

alcoraptor

Same here, xbox EU.
Crashed in a dungeon, tried to restart the game and it required a 860mb patch.
After the patch finished, game starts to initial screen but then won't go to the login screen with "Patch Required"

Well done, ZOS
@ZOS_GinaBruno please get this sorted!

No, this broke after Morrowind, you’re just getting used to constant broken game.

JayKwellen

Seems I'm not alone lol. My partner also just turned on his Xbox and immediately got the same error message.

Dalsinthus

They’ve acknowledged the issue on Twitter:

Lmao

Sandman929

They were just 835 Mb away from breaking it completely

Rynd33

Just finished downloading the patch and am getting the patch required error. What really infuriates me is the loss of time and opportunity. I have three kids and rarely have more than an hour or two to play. My family is doing an online event tonight and for the first time all year I have the whole night to myself to play eso and this happens. How do they compensate me for that? This is time I can't get back.

Growlspirit

Same here, what is going on...

Thanks everyone, we're actively investigating now and will let you know when we have some information.

Gigglez

Must be some crazy Golden Vendor sch1t to crash the game

Funhammy

Probably just busted a circuit on a server.
