    While the launcher is trying to download the 22 gig file:

    Hit pause.

    Use the game settings icon IN THE NEWS SECTION, choose cancel,

    Using same icon choose repair.

    Play after "repair".

    Same problem here. This is horrendous. After hours and hours of downtime twice, we now have to download the game, which is already on my drive, for another amount of hours.
    Unacceptable

    DO THIS!

    I just did the same and was coming to post. I now have the Play option in my launcher (although I was playing in game as it was downloading the 22gb "patch").

    Hopefully this works for you as it did me.

    I was able to go straight into the directory and start the game, but after seeing everyone fixing it by repairing, I had to try it myself so that I don't have to install the whole game all over again. It seemed to have worked as I get the PLAY button instead of the UPDATE button.WOOT WOOT

    I just did this and there was no repair button. Deleted the entire folder again.

    Would that I could but my SSD does not have 60GB free space so I can't start the install process at all.

    My client initially did the same thing, however, switching briefly to the European client and back seems to have worked around the issue.

    DO NOT TRY THIS WITHOUT ACCEPTING THE RISK. MY GAME WAS REMOVED ENTIRELY AND NOW I HAVE TO REINSTALL IT AGAIN!

    So the servers are back up and now I got the PatchManifestError again. I just went through 2 straight days of fixing this myself without help from support. I was able to get back on and play and now I'm back at square one and the launcher wont even start on the patch and the repair doesn't work.

    Many people can't get this far if their SSD doesn't have 60GB free. This is the situation I am in as well. However I am in and playing using the .exe so all is good for now. I never did get my 5Gb download file though and the horse dismount seems to be even worse. 4 times in 15 seconds was the worst.

    Ditto.

    I want to make this known that I literally copied the entire contents of my wife's launcher and game settings to my files and it still is giving me the "Install" error.

    tried the cancel, but never got a repair option, so....now installing from the start, again, see you all tomorrow
  • george.smithb16_ESO
    Fix for those of you stuck downloading the whole client again or seeing the Repair/Install icon in your launcher:

    1) Open your launcher and hit your repair or install button, then hit PAUSE (if you had already started repairing or downloading the 23Gb file, just hit PAUSE)

    2) In the area under NEWS is a GAME OPTIONS drop down menu. Click the down arrow and select CANCEL

    3) Click the same down arrow and select REPAIR

    4) Now if that worked properly you should get the ACTUAL PATCH which is 4 Gb, followed by a smaller patch... and then be ready to PLAY.

    Can't do that if you are on a SSD and don't have 60GB free....
