Dude, you're new in this forum. And I'm playing since beta. If you don't create tonns of the same topics everywhere and to not start moan in every single one - devs will never fix it. (ZOS asume us that they read all topics, but where is the fix? It's more than 24h left.)

Summing up my feedback from the threads mentioned by @Wolfess.

TL;DR: Monday patch sent my EU ESO installation in a loop between the ABORT: Invalid Memory Size (0) and Eror 303 - PatchError_UnzipFail errors.

After further testing, I can conclude the following:
- the patch files are BROKEN since the launcher can't apply the patch to the already installed client
- the ENTIRE EU update branch seems BROKEN because you can no longer re-install the EU client

The long version after the 1.5.3 patch on the EU branch:
- I patched the game and all seemed well. Clicking "Play" results in the client crashing before I get the intro videos with the logos.
- Start the client manually (eso.exe) results in a crash as well.
- Use the repair option results in this error: ABORT: Invalid Memory Size (0 (..\..\..\..\shared\unzipper.c/823). Launcher closes at this point. Restarting the launcher does nothing since it doesn't need to update, but clicking Play results in the same crash as above.
- Deleting the patch files forces the launcher to update the client. The update then ends with the Error 303 - PatchError_UnzipFail - Failed to open patch, please click repair for your game.

The NA client works fine, it's just the EU client that's broken.

Went ahead and bit the bullet and did the following:
- removed the EU client
- installed the NA client
- everything works - installing the client / patching / logging into the game / char creation
- removed everything again (with the ESO uninstaller)
- trying to reinstall the EU client ONLY DOWNLOADS THE LAST 5GB PATCH not the full game client

bought the game yesterday, downloaded the 5,2gb ... 7 times with restarts, reinstallations, installation on other partitions, starting as administrator, deactivate antivir etc.
Yes it can only be fixed by the developers, and such a HUGE ERROR BUG isn't fixed even after 3 day. I've never seen something like this. I've played the Beta a little and now i wanted to give ESO a try. Thought month after the release, it should be a good product, and now,this bug is my first impression so far. Sad.

Just gonna tag @ZOS_GaryA‌ since he was involved in the other threads, with what I think is the root cause of the issue:

Ugh, SO ANNOYING. There's screenshots and full explanations -everywhere-. Are they flippin' blind or whàt?

I've yanked out my best French (which is still horrible) and replied to the French 303. I'm seriously just getting pissed off, I mean, the topic there had àll screenshots included, full explanation, and they basically just go "Have you tried turning it on and off again?".

Do we look stupid or something?

^ Exactly.. Ugh, I'm getting so beyond frustrated with this I've posted links to all 4(!) threads on this issue of the English forum onto the 303 error thread of the French forum. Hopefully it'll make a difference.. >.>

Ah sorry, @Nhayara, I didn't see that. (I'm not good at French so I skipped past some bits)

Exactly, there's nothing to repair, doesn't work :S

You can't repair what isn't even installed.

@Wolfess, let me know if you get any feedback from ZOS - really curious if they come up with something more useful than the standard replies.

@Quoriah Since I haven't even heard back to my 2 tickets I made yesterday noon, I doubt I'll actually hear back from -this-.. Bah :< I'll definitely let you all know if I hear something proper, though.

@AshySamurai Me too. Would be nice to get some free days or something to compensate for this complete wreck.

I got a reply yesterday and it read.
Please send us your dxdiag.txt and msinfo.txt file so we can look into it (not litteraly but that was the context basically) so by that time they hadnt figured out that it was a wide problem.
But its been over 24 hours since i got that reply, so I'm hoping that they have "conntected the dots by now".

Hey there everyone,

Just wanted to pop in and thank everyone for their reports, as well as your collective patience with the suggested troubleshooting in other threads. We're currently looking into this issue and we'll get back with you the moment we have more information.

Good to hear a response. Hoping it gets resolved soon.
