BlueberryPancakes333

neither I nor my sister can log in either. we were just in earlier this morning.

Seems to be on Steam's end though. Other games are also having the same error.
And the Steam Forums are also not loading.

Yeah I just saw that, tried to check the steam forums and cant reach the server

valenwood_vegan

Yeah seems to be steam. I can log in fine with my non-steam account, having the same problem with the steam one.

Steam is working fine for me forums load, Fallout 76 launches fine, just this game errors

vsrs_au

Same here, on PC/Steam/EU. I played about 1 hour ago, and now it's not working.

[edit] Rebooted my PC, which previously has sometimes fixed Steam problems, but I got the same Steam sync and ESO unexpected error after the reboot.

arctangent

not working for me either

Interesting.
It's all still busted on my side. I'm getting cloud errors on all games.
Elders Scrolls Online/Oblivion/Skyrim, Divinity 2, Dragonball FighterZ, Red Dead Redemption 2, all my Final Fantasys, etc. All of it, and the Forums are still not loading.

ESO_player123

Cannot log in either (Steam PC NA). Says "contact elderscrollsonline..."

Marronsuisse

Also can't login, PC NA through Steam. Says an unexpected internal error has occurred, and to please contact customer service.

Can't connect to other online games or lobbies either.

dmvab

Not working for me too.
Since I have both version, I can access the game from the official folder using ID and password but I can't from Steam

Penguinfan

I cannot log in either. Error note comes up and tells me to contact costumer support. I login using steam too.

BlindingBright

This just ruined my core run for the weekend, several people could not login and so we just canceled. Further adding to my relief that I canceled my ESO+ sub.

Cravencat

I cannot log in either. PC NA Steam

Edit: I just got in after closing and re-opening Steam.

Same here,, PC NA. It appears to be a problem with Steam and ESO not validating the account properly, as my non-Steam install works fine.

This is how I work around it:
You need to know your ESO account name (without the @) and your ESO account password (not your steam PW) and you'll need access to the email you used to set up your ESO website account.
Open Stream, in the Steam menu (top left) choose settings
Choose Account, then in the lower part of the box check "Don't save account credentials"
NOTE: this will disable "Play Offline" for your other Steam apps, so you'll want to remember how to put this back
Click okay and exit. You've now disabled Steam Auto-Login for ESO.

Now you want to bypass the ESO launcher. You'll need to find your "eso64.exe" file. If you didn't customize, Steam puts it in the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client" folder. Make a shortcut to this on your desktop in case you want to use it in the future.

Run eso64.exe

When the login screen appears, put in your ESO username (without the @) and your password for the ESO website.
If you haven't done this before, it'll block the login waiting for you to put in a code it just emailed you. Do this, and you should get to character select.

While this is ongoing, ESO+ is disabled (assuming it's paid for through Steam).

Yes, works now for me also. I'd still like to know what caused it, though. My guess is something to do with the Steam server ?

Marronsuisse

Yup, working again.

Silaf

PC eu can't login. Eso+ member here.

Call me crazy, but I started getting kicked out of bg then cant login, when I encountered the new class in bg, which will not be named, coz I dont wanna be called a meanie.
But seriously, I started getting like this when I encountered them in bg. Got kicked out to main screen then logging in and not being able to login coz of error whatever.

Grizzbeorn

On a somewhat related note, are we going to be able to play Starfield on PC without Steam?

I don't [and won't] use Steam, partially because stuff like this keeps happening.
