Game Consultant - Error 209?

Shanna

Just got home from work, so sorry if I've missed a discussion on it...but what is this "game consultant" I'm having to run after installing my update? My computer ran the game just fine before, but, after the patch, I got an error message saying that the launcher was "unable to detect the current version" and that I needed to either run the game consultant, AND (not "or") contact customer support. The game consultant ran and did nothing, it seems.

*UPDATE: I read the post here: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/79631/100-fixed-tested-zenimax-s-solution-to-patch-fix-gm-posted-error-209#latest (after being frustrated enough to make my own without reading through the existing threads.) I was all set to try these horribly complex directions, but then found that simply shutting my launcher once and reopening it FIXED THE PROBLEM for me.

Good luck to the rest of you!

Exact same problem here. Requested phone support. Wait time in excess of an hour apparently. We shall see.
