log in timed out

Aenima_pt · April 2014

For those still having problems with the launcher, try re-download the launcher from you ESO account.

Logins timing out is normally due to not having the most up-to-date client. Try closing out of the client and launcher completely and then reopening the launcher.

Once you've done that, allow the launcher to patch completely. If the launcher does not automatically apply the patch, run the repair option. Instructions on repairing the launcher can be found here. If this doesn't solve this issue, please let us know!

Did the repair option and let it finished doing its thing, still timing out.

trying the last resort now...re-install

qwertyburnsb16_ESO · April 2014

Repair doesn't work either FFS!

jordwrightF45b16_ESO · April 2014

Don_X you'll be playing tomorrow then lol

I opened the launcher with "Run as Administrator" and it started the patch. Let me log in right away.

Remember, the key word here is...

"Run as Administrator"

It makes no difference to me. Still coming up as 'complete' when I know there's a patch to download.

I can log into EU no problem but when I log into NA which is where I usually play it appears to be working but then Times Out. There are no error codes. I have done the 'Delete Versions' fix but that didn't work. I have used other peoples version files, that made it worse so reverted to mine. Have completely deleted the Launcher and re-installed it (Takes about 5 minutes) that didn't work. I tried running as Admininstrator and that didn't work.

No error codes it just times out.

Thepal · April 2014

Repair just worked for me (the .version thing in another thread didn't)

Brittany_Joy · April 2014

I am getting log in timeouts too. It worked fine just yesterday but I know they did maintenance while I slept so I am guessing that is to blame for the problem. I am running the repair and hoping it fixes it.

Well I finished the repair twice, 'cause the first one had a manifest error but I just pressed the repair button until it worked. It repaired and now I am logged in after a long loading time. I hope the problem is fixed and stays fixed.

Kazarr · April 2014

Im spamming repair but nothing so far.

Fatalyis · April 2014

Yup....log in timed out....downloaded no patch....

Epona222 · April 2014

jordwrightF45b16_ESO · April 2014

Ok guy's so i'm currently trying this.. i ran the game as administrator and tried a repair. I then received the error code 209, following the instructions of this post

I'm currently re-patching and it's gonna take a while, hopefully this works.

Killswitche · April 2014

This is such *** I can never log into the game half the time. What a waste.

nicodiemus · April 2014

this thread is for people who can't get the launcher to update, your link is for another issue

Kevinmon · April 2014

My login is timing out. Zenimax please fix!

jordwrightF45b16_ESO · April 2014

Actually this thread is for people getting log in time outs. I was getting those and could not find a fix, doing this method has at least kick started something.

VileIntent · April 2014

i am getting these time outs as well. NA server. trying repair now.

UPDATE: ok, i did a repair. But some of the guildies are talking about my old beta shortcut i was still using was broken. So, i also went in and created a new shortcut and set its properties to run as administrator. I hope this helps any one else. I am in game now. Good Luck

esukf · April 2014

Ok, here how I got mine to work.

Note I from the UK but play on the NA servers. I recommend you backup your entire ESO game directory before you try this.

It appears some of zenimax's launcher.bethesda.net servers aren't working properly.

As per this reddit post http://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/234c5r/login_time_out/cgtavta, I pointed launcher.bethesda.net to a known working server in my windows hosts file.

What you need to do is open notepad as administrator and open the hosts file location at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Add the following line to the end of the file:

54.243.115.56 launcher.bethesda.net

Save the file and start the ESO launcher. It should start to patch.

Now when you login, you will get the following:

Error 103 (4:1:1278:0)
Your account permission do not currently entitle you to access this server.

To fix this problem first close the launcher.

Backup the following 4 .version files:

c:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher\Bethesda.net_Launcher.version
c:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\depot\depot.version
c:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\game_player.version
c:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\vo_en\vo_en.version

Delete the 4 files and start the ESO launcher.

The launcher should now show INSTALL instead of PLAY. DO NOT CLICK INSTALL.

Close the Launcher.

Copy back the 4 files to their original location.

Start the launcher, it should start downloading some stuff.

Click PLAY once complete and you should now be able to login.

Once you'll able to login, remember to remove the launcher.bethesda.net line from the windows hosts!!

I've heard from Customer Support about it, here's the reply:

I requested a phone call back 2 hours ago, now it's bedtime. I'm reinstalling the game and their customer support is absolute crap. Makes wonder why I'm bothering any more with this game.

Hookgrin · April 2014

I did Run as Administrator, had to close and reopen the launcher a few times but it eventually started downloading the patch and it worked.

SapperStew · April 2014

When re-installing the nearly 23 gigabyte game is a more timely solution than waiting on the developers to push out a fix to the patcher that they broke during a patch that ran 6 hours longer than scheduled due to something they broke while patching- you pretty much realize that you have very little faith in Zenimax to do anything correctly, or in a timely manner.
