Uhhh, it's asking me to re-install the game...

after doing what i said above...im at character select and going into game /flex0 -
Kaspar✭✭✭Good news is you can launch the game from the ESO.exe bypassing the launcher so it seems to be something broken with the launcher only.0 -
NYR12690✭My launcher started to download and install the game, but didn't delete my files for some reason. I just closed it and opened the game through the client folder in the Program files folder. I'm not sure what I'm going to do about the launcher when I need a patch for future reference lol1

Najarati✭✭✭As a heads-up, the servers do appear to be back up for North America. I'm logged in as one of my characters as of this writing.0 -

NA
Patch applied to a fresh install. Original installation was in November.

Was able to get into Character selection screen during downloadEdited by Zagaki_ESO on April 3, 2014 10:11PM0 -
I am able to log into game through the game file directly even though my launcher is redownloading 22gigs0 -
NeroVitus✭✭Add me to the list here. Outage followed by a multi-hour download is ridiculous. Don't do this without letting us know.0 -
Haxnschwammer✭✭✭✭dammit! Patch, 40 MB ,,, get ready to play ... wtf repair? Ok, wait that 2 minutes ... oh crash ... Ok... start launcher again ... wtf? INSTALL?? My folder has been completely wiped! No files in there at all! Only launcher folder remained...
OK, some info for you:
Last Server was EU
I played in beta on NA, changed to EU for early access.
Played until now without problems. Loaded some patches (around 40 MB),
when it finished it went into repair mode and crashed when finished.
After starting the launcher again it went to install. I checked my folder a few seconds later and it was empty. The folders TESO and TESO EU had been gone.
Now I'm downloading again the whole thing. I can't provide any log as there is none.Once I was a healer. Then I took a Wrobel to the knee.

The problem is quite simple actually, the launcher only has a completely awful check for fine integrity, i.e. it only checks for the files: game.version, depot.version and vo_en.version.
The patch managed to delete/not create at least one of those files, i.e. the first two missing will require a reinstall (not really, just get those files) - the third will have you redownload the voiceover.0 -
Just found all of the old files in my recycling bin. At least I can restore that <_<0

Yeah. Not sure who's bright idea it was to have the launcher be able to simply delete more than 20GB worth of data without checking it first or asking for some sort of user confirmation.Edited by Natai on April 3, 2014 10:14PM0 -
Limited✭Well I had already clicked the Install button and got about 10% into install, I canceled the Install from Game Options under Loader and then clicked Repair. It repaired downloaded the smaller patch repaired and I have a Play button. If you clicked Install do what I did. Good Luck! See you online!

Hit pause. Use the game settings icon IN THE NEWS SECTION, choose cancel, using same icon choose repair. Play after "repair".1 -
After reading the replies in this thread I paused the 2nd full install (after the small patch update) and quit the launcher. I too can just start the game from the executable in the game dir.
Now I'm hoping Zenimax will come with a launcher update, since the launcher will want to resume the 2nd full install everytime...0 -
Drachdhar✭✭✭So much for "early access"... Spent more time having "maintenance" and downtime than actually playing... And now re-installing... Far to slowly.0 -
Etchesketch✭✭✭✭Nice job guys. Unbelievable. I try to stick up for you, but this is pretty lame, even considering you obviously are new to this online gaming thing and sort of obviously out of your depth..... this is really terrible pre testing of your patch.

I noticed i had all 30gb of data in my game files. I had started the "re-install" that shouldn't have come up. I decided to cancel it and load the game from the .exe bybassing the launcher. When i went to find the .exe again the whole folder was removed. It isn't anywhere. Apparently when i cancelled the install it deleted the complete folder which i had a running beta client inside of. I am now stuck downloading the complete game again.
This is utterly ridiculous. Especially after the bank debacle. Completely not happy with the data bugs in this game so far. I have no confidence the issues are even fixed anymore.0
