    WTH! Seriously ZOS!

    I really hope you can hotfix this prior to day's end, or extend the event by a day for us so we can get our tickets. Or add 3 tix to our accounts, tho I'd still be missing an opal page.

    My third try to log-in the message came up "an internal error...", then on the fourth try it went back to the "must download patch..", but maybe they are making progress. Fingers crossed, they fix it soon.

    Unable to log in, says I need patch please download and install to access online features. Says I have patch number 1.22.2.0 for some weird reason. Looks like a possible Dead by Daylight weekend.

    Same error / patch message for me and my wife and her father on three different Xbox consoles. Wonder if someone mistakenly pushed something early while preparing for Monday's planned maintenance...

    Just a thought, but Is it possible zos have pushed out a patch before it’s ready?

    This is disappointing. I was so very excited to finally have some time for the undaunted event. I hope things are fixed shortly.

    Was trying to check a members status in roster. Got booted when I opened the enter text window to search for them. IMMEDIATELY CANCELLED the patch that began to run, since I knew what that would lead to.

    However, cancelling the patch was even worse because, NOW I'm having to completely re-install the game!!! Even just a few MBs running before the cancel, was enough to convince the system that ESO is no longer installed!!!!!

    So, 800+MB of a patch to break your game and prevent log in or, cancel it and have to completely re-install 77.29GB to likely have that game F'd up by the very same patch you tried to avoid.

    You never fail to set the bar lower, ZOS.

    If it's not fixed VERY soon, I'd say 3 tickets plus one of the Glorious Undaunted boxes.

    Same as all the others: "Patch required. Please download and install to access online features."

    Got this after installing the patch, and I uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game and still have the same error.

    Xbox Series X on NA server, if that helps...

    Seems like someone keeps releasing upcoming patches too early since microsoft took over. The last patch came out early and so did the steel dawn update for fallout 76 and now this. Strange.

    Console says patch version 1.22.2.0. Login says patch version 1.22.1.0. Looks like something was mistakenly pushed early...

    Same for me - asking for a patch AFTER patch is downloaded. :trollface:

    So glad I stopped subbing a while ago. Looking forward to Cyberpunk lol, ESO needs to be taken out back and shot as a mercy killing.

    What did they break this time...

    I am beginning to see a pattern, first the internal errors on one day, now this. What next...
    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.

    Game is already broken beyond all recognition, and you roll out an event in spite of it.

    Now we can't even play after a measly 900 MB update.

    Can we all just realize it's time to quit this game since it's obvious no one cares about the players who have invested our time and money into this, that we EASILY could have invested elsewhere?
    It's like they're trying to run us off.

    You won't. They never account for their mistakes.

    I had purchased an xbox gift card to buy some crowns tonight, but since I can't log in I used it to buy Empire of Sin. It just finished installing, so I'm off to play that instead. Cheers

    I wonder if this problem is impacting all Xbox players or just some. I suspect if it is everyone, they might be more likely to do something.

    The one time I want to sit down and try to play ESO for once I can't because yet again a patch completely breaks the game. At this point I'm really not surprised.
