Constant Timeout on Login

karlowpat_ESO
Hello,

So, when I log in there's a long wait then I get a time out message (no error code, just says timeout). If I use the incorrect password it tells me as much, but the correct password just has it going and going to an eventual timeout. Server status says it's all green and I'm just wandering about wondering what's happening. Any input on this? Appreciated.

    Try restarting the launcher and letting it update. For some reason if the launcher is already running it won't do an update. Once the update is finished, you'll be able to login.

    Yea, I saw that in the forums and tried it already. Nada. Just stuck after many restarts.

    same issue. would've been nice if there would have been some news informing us that we had to update the launcher instead of just saying the servers were back up. Really crappy. I've been trying to log in for 3 hours. now it will take the rest of the evening to update - guess I'll just have to drink beer and fap. :pensive:

    Same here, launcher says it doesn't need to update, then I get stuck in 'requesting login' followed by 'Error-login timeout' :( Please fix soon.

    Same

    Having the same thing. Have tried restarting the launcher a few times and no updates have happened. Confirmed in the settings it checks for updates always. Ran the "Game consultant" from the options menu and found no issues.

    I'm having the SAME problem...Log in times out. I have tried to start the client over 6 times.NOTHING helps. I was playing with the 5 day head start...now nothing works.

    I was having the same issue. Ran a repair and it resolved my issue.
  • fox8kvb16_ESO
    where is repair option?
  • fox8kvb16_ESO
    nvm found it
  • fox8kvb16_ESO
    fixed it for me too
  • Targanwolf
    I solved my log in problem by commanding my client to repair and then it updated and I could log in. THE PROBLEM..is some clients are NOT updating and you must force them to by repairing(their is a small button on the client that opens a tab with this option.)
  • karlowpat_ESO
    Did it before reading all the replies, but yea, two launcher restarts with two repairs solved my problem. Merci all!

    In the left window of the launcher it says something like

    Elder Scrolls Online

    Just to the right of that are one or two click able button like things, The repair option is in those somewhere

    Apologies for the bad description, might only be one button there but I'm not at my PC as I type this

    It's under the News section, lil gear next to GAME OPTIONS. Click it and you'll see a drop down menu, one of the items is repair.
