Oh god, this bug and fix is hilarious. Did they even test the new update before rolling it out?0 -

@ZOS_GinaBruno Can you check this and see if this is legit?

Because it brings up screens full of foreign language posts that make it extremely hard to actually find new posts, especially as they aren't dated.
Because apparently actually sorting stuff in date order and providing language specific dev tracking while being useful would cause the sky to fall.
Or something.

I went through all of these fixes, and the issue is still happening for me. At one point, the launcher 'magically' fixed itself.. But that was for one login.. Next time I logged out, closed, and tried to re-login, the problem started once again. I followed both ZOS's instructions as well as various player fixes to no success. I absolutely refuse to re-install, as I can see it has only helped some people and not others.
Also, I am able to bypass the launcher and play by clicking the .exe file instead. They need to get a fix up for this as soon as possible.. I'm generally very patient and understanding, but with the sheer amount of people this has happened to, it's almost like they didn't test the patch at all before rolling it out.0 -
ferzalrwb17_ESO✭✭✭✭✭This doesn't necessarily work. It might just appear to work. Next time you open up - it'll be screwed. ZOS are officially a joke. Give me the source code and I'll get my 5 year old niece to fix it. It's just a launcher. Jeeeeeez.0

Ahh, I remember this type of solution in EQ, having to delete files then put them back. NO THANK YOU, last time I ran a repair I downloaded 22gigs, sorry but this needs to be fixed on their end, I paid good money for a working game. in my mind ESO = Great Game but EPIC FAIL, released 1 - 2 months early in my opinion. Reminds me of Hellgate London fantastic game but they rushed it out the door to meet the publishers deadline.0

It was from this post.
Ah, thanks! That is legit, and you can go ahead and follow the steps given there.
Except that... it doesn't work. It only works the first time you do it, but when you log out and log back in, it doesn't work anymore.
So... are you people going to actually fix this or do you consider this 'solution' enough?
I need to know because if this is your 'solution', then I'm gonne go ahead and cancel the subscription, this is unacceptable Customer support.

So.. I encountered this issue as well. Except when I googled for a fix to this, I got the knowledge base portion of the fix that if repair should fail (which it did) to uninstall the game and reinstall it. Now I am stuck installing it again at 1mb a second instead of the work around above (for those of you who dont know math very well, its going to take well over 24 hours to download). ESO and ZeniMax, I love you both.. but I dont appreciate the last day of my vacation being ruined because you cant do a proper patch.
what school did u go to so i can never send my child there ... of the top of my head it would take approx 7 hours @1mbs i think my 18 month old daughter could tell u that 1 mbs for 24 hours is a hell of alot more than the 30+gb needed for gamer bro and if u took the time to read the post in full u would see .. open launcher .. cancel download restore files .. done dusted worked for me was a small we patch and in i went

Lies and slander... this did not work for me... if people have to do this for an update then Zneimax should fix it. -slow clap to zenimax- You have just proved that you are not up to par with most MMOs that have such things fixed in a matter of minutes or get it right the first time.
better a work around than never logging in until they fix bro ...

FizzerUK✭✭✭Tried all the fixes. EVEN a full download installs the wrong version.
ON PTS we never had all these issues. We had some but *** not this bad.
Pay to Play.. With a shi.... support and constant breaking of game.
Yep! They ain't getting my money. 30 days free and finish. F... pissed I can't get a refund to be honest.
Glad I have played it to death past few months. It's all new to a lot but 3 months down the road! see if you will still put up with this crap and see the cash coming out ya bank!

FizzerUK✭✭✭@greenleej11b14_ESO Fix works. Thanks mate!
It takes a external Reddit post to fix a game ESO support can't.
>>c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with this entry: 54.243.115.56 launcher.bethesda.net <<
Other IP's may work, if you can find them. These kind of fixes are VERY temporary.
I am deleting my host entry now I am in game.

VashnatirageSoul ShrivenWhy in the bloody hell should we have to take someone's obscure files to try to correct the mistake that Zenimax should've fixed? SERIOUSLY?! I will not risk my computer being plundered because of some files to fix up a game patch that should've been fixed. Shame on you, Zenimax. Sheesh, what are you all thinking? Im not surprised about the loss of subscribers. -_-;

Seras✭The fix works for me, until I restart the game and it breaks again. It seems to throw up the error randomly. It takes me 4 or 5 attempts to bypass the error.
I've been temporarily getting around this by bypassing the launcher entirely and loading the game directly from eso.exe. You can give that a go if you managed to get the game patched before the launcher broke.
Hopefully this will get fixed soon. Hopefully.0 -
This is NOT WORKING, at least for me.
Ive tried everything thats been suggested on the forums and nothing has worked.
i emailed support with the report and they replied a few hours later with "we will assume this issue has been resolved" WTF?! It will be resolved when you sort your friggin' code out Zeni
really getting annoyed now as i have not been able to play for the last 2 days not to mention all the downtime we have all already encountered0 -
permeusb16_ESOSoul Shrivenim starting to get miffed now ive tried all the things ive seen in this post, didn't work.
so i tried an uninstall reinstall, didn't work (and with a 60GB game this was long and painful).
and the thing that bothers me the most is their lack of communication not everyone comes to the forums just like not everyone use FB or twitter so they should put out messages on all three but the last thing on twitter was 15 hours ago saying how they love the fans creativity, there has been nothing about this whole mess.
now with there 8 hours maintenance and my need to sleep and now this it has been nearly 2 days since i have been able to play ESO so ye im starting to lose my cool, im disappointed.
Edit: ok i lied i didn't try everything till now and the lost thing works kind of (at least for now) bypassing the launcher and using the .ESO has let me get into the game, i don't know if this will keep working or if it will work for others.Edited by permeusb16_ESO on April 16, 2014 11:02AM0 -

This worked for my guildies and I. Technically savvy people only. If you aren't comfortable mucking around with windows files, then don't. Wait for Zeni to fix this nonsense. They are going to have to.

The problem I had was on opening the Launcher, the game wouldn't patch to the newest version. When I tried to login I would just get a timed out box. However, on following this thread, the game patched on launch and I was able to login. Many thanks to these players after a frustrating night of deleting files, running repairs, etc.0 -
Just add me to the people who have to redo the fix every time. The odd part is it is a day later and Zenimax still hasn't done anything or said anything.

Great. But once Zeni actually fixes things, make sure you remember to take that host change out. This should be a temporary fix only.
This deleting folders and crap never worked for me (tried it for two hours), but changing the host file did (three minutes, tops). So there you have it. Some tech savvy players managed to find the problem and solution long before Zeni engineers did, I guess.
