    Ok guys, we need some additional information from all of you so we can delve deeper.

    First, we need four files

    @ZOS_GinaBruno:
    • host.developer log file
    • Launcher.Settings file (located in the \Zenimax Online\Launcher directory) -> Do I send them to you by PM or should I attach them here?
    • A screenshot of your \Zenimax Online folder or a listing of any subfolders in your \Zenimax Online folder -> 2 folders, Launcher and The Elder Scrolls Online EU
    • a screenshot of a right click + properties of the The Elder Scrolls Online or The Elder Scrolls Online EU folder to determine the size of the data you currently have. -> 30.8 GB

    Plus answers to these following questions:
    • Which environment were you patching when this happened? NA, EU, PTS? -> EU
    • What region are you actually in geographically? -> Spain
    • What environment(s) are you showing in the patcher? NA, EU, PTS -> EU
    • Is this a brand new install or is it being patched up from a previous version? -> brand new after last beta ended, patched since then

    Restarting the launcher made a difference for me. After the patches downloaded and my launcher went into repair mode I went through the repair cycle once before I decided to restart the launcher. Doing this appeared to kick me out of the loop and I ended up with a "Play" button.

    I did the same, but after awhile it started patching/repairing again.

    I am currently backing up all 61 gigs of my live and PTS client before opening that launcher again.

    Attached. Hopefully. If not, they're posted here http://files.enjin.com/265553/ESO Art/Bug Report.zip.

    Patching NA environment, living in NA (California), patcher still showing NA.
    I was attempting to patch up from a previous version (the one I was using to play before the servers were brought down). The launcher downloaded two small patches of around 40-50MB. Then said Repair instead of Play. I closed and reopened the launcher and it said Install instead of Play. Tried again a few more times and finally clicked Install. The launcher began downloading 22GB of files, so I checked my directory and saw that the entire The Elder Scrolls Online folder was gone. After a few minutes the folder reappeared with size of 22.4 GB but only around 2GB on disk.

    In short, it started as a patch from a previous version, but the launcher deleted my client folder, so now it is a brand new install.

    Here you go ZOS_GinaBruno

    For your questions:


    Which environment were you patching when this happened? NA, EU, PTS?
    Europe Server, It did try to patch something. Closed of. Suddenly told me to install something, pressed the install button. It went to install the complete map, but I closed it immediately when I saw that. Now it only says Install when I open the launcher.

    What region are you actually in geographically?
    Europe - The Netherlands,

    What environment(s) are you showing in the patcher? NA, EU, PTS
    I guess Europe

    Is this a brand new install or is it being patched up from a previous version?
    Should be a patch I guess. but it somehow believes it has to install the client again?

    Not really a reinstall problem in my case, "just" a seemingly endless loop of small patches downloads and checking files.

    But in case it helps, here is what you wanted.
    Patching for EU server, localized in french, patching from France. Installed for the first beta of march, launcher says EU.
