Been playing since early access and had no problems up till now. Update 4 for was due for EU server and as normal I started it off downloading and went to work.
Got back from work and install had completed and now the problems start.
Each time I tried to start the game it would crash giving me a 'fatal error' message. Came out of the launcher, re-launched and tried again... same thing.
Tried a repair, and it decided to do a re-install (if I remember it was something like 24Gb).
Screw downloading that. Anyway I un-installed the game and removed all files I could find connected to ESO. I have the Imp edition so I re-installed using the disks to save some time.
All went well until I get to where the launcher is downloading the various patches and now the launcher keeps crashing. (last 2 times were at 11% and 18%)
Its not at the same point and all I get is a message saying the launcher has stopped working.
Anybody got any ideas cause this is getting past funny now? !

ZOS_GaryA✭✭✭✭✭Hey there @Phantax,
A large majority of the time, this issue can be resolved by running the launcher as an administrator. To do this, head to the launcher folder, which is located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher. Right click on the Bethesda.net Launcher application file and choose "Run as Administrator" and let us know if that helps.0 -
