Fatal Error 6

LunarMedic

This pops up when I click Play on the Launcher, I'm not quite sure what to do about it.

I have the same problem, tried the Game Consultant.exe and reloading the whole game. As soon as it patches I have the problem.

Yeah, same problem here.
My rig is:
Athlon X4 640
8GB RAM
Gigabyte 970A-UD3
GTX560ti
Asus Xonar D1
Win7 64bit

All drivers are up to date, I tried repairing it several times, yesterday I installed my Windows completely new, no need to say I had no success.
Please, if anybody got a solution for this problem, i would REALLY like to play the game, i spent money for..

Hi there, folks. Thank you for posting this information. If you haven't already, please try running a repair on your launcher. You can find the repair option by clicking on the "Game Options" gear under the News section of the launcher.

Please let us know if this does or does not resolve the issue. Thanks!

Or try and run the game directly from the eso.exe. If the launcher is somehow broken this might allow you to play

I tried repairing it several times. Each time, it d ownloaded hours and hours.
Running the game directly from the eso.exe doesn't work too, starting it as an admin has the same effect: Fatal Error 6
3 days of my 30 free days are now gone, and I was just trying to start it..thats just ridiculous...
Edit: Ok, I tried the repair function once more (what else should I do? I formatted my whole PC because of this crap), and watched what happens:
First it checks the Download, and it runs until 100% in a few minutes, after that it starts downloading...something(?), with the size of 16.7 GB. Does this maybe (PLEASE) give a hint, what the problem could be??

what file that you delete?

Srontgorrth90

Yes foudogueeb, which one?
I downloaded two more times, first I got Error 302, than 1032. So today in the early morning I started again (it's the only option after the error), now I came home for lunch, the Play Button just said "Install", no Error message, nothing, as I hit install it began downloading the 23 GB again..
I canceled it, closed the launcher, opened it again and hit repair. Now it downloads the god damn 23 GB AGAIN!
And the files in the folder are not anymore in the "depot", they are in a subfolder called "patchdata.depot", the size is the same, about 23 GB.
WTF is this guys?? A game I pay monthly, and the first week I can't even start the game. Instead I have to run the same huge download 24/7, because it *** itself up every time... o.O?

Srontgorrth90

So, the download was done, but the Play button said "Repair". I did NOT hit the repair button, instead I closed the launcher, and opened it again, then it started downloading about 6 GB. After that, it installed it, and there were "948,42 MB remaining", at 97% when it paused a few seconds, then about 1300 MB remaining going down to 948,42 MB again, and a third time. After the third time, there popped a error message up, saying: Unknown Data Error.

As I opened the Launcher again, it started downloading the 5,6 GB again...let's see what happens, when it's finished..

foudogueeb17_ESO

folder patchdate contains files .zip. And after the launcher unzip files to give a files type eso0001.dat up to eso0215.dat in folder depot

My friend have a file type eso0001.dat up to eso0089.dat therefore he missed 126 files.

Try delete or unistall the launcher and install but in other folder
