How do I DL ESO to a new computer?
Been playing ESO since beta weekends. My old computer died. Bought new one. How do I get it to DL the game I already bought? When I try to access my account it gives me an Error 500 message.

✭✭✭Did you try a different browser and everything?
I use Chrome and never have a problem.
CS might be your only hope but then again they will just have you try those things from that page I linked so I dunno.Edited by ers101284b14_ESO on December 16, 2014 3:55AM5

Try some of those tips. Once you get into your account then download it from your account.0 -

✭✭Install it from the disk you purchased, it's much faster. Even so, you will still have to download about 30 GB of updates after installation. Have fun with that.....Edited by dharbert on December 16, 2014 3:23AM0 -

✭✭What died in your old PC?
The HDD, the mainboard, GPU...?
Because if your HDD is still intact then why not use it in your new PC? You can just copy the files over and let the patcher do the work for you.0 -
HDD is probably still good. Tech guy said it was probably the motherboard. But how do I turn on a computer that won't turn on?0

If only it were that easy. It doesn't work that way. The game still has to be installed and have an entry in the registry in Windows.0 -
I can access my ESO account on my smartphone, but not my new computer. If that narrows down what the problem might be.0

Misa✭✭✭find someone to give the install exe to you, then download and install it while you fix your account problem, this wouldn't be piracy since you'd need an account to play the game anyway

It was that easy for me. I have ESO ( and all my other games for just this reason) installed on a separate drive from my OS. I recently reinstalled my OS, didn't have to redownload ESO. Just ran the installer, pointed it at the previous ESO installation, it did it's little number of installing vc, dx, whatever then was good to go. Took less time than a file repair.Edited by Zorvan on December 16, 2014 6:57AMI've been muted since November 2017 because of the whiny crybabies on this forum and the liberal ZOS employees coddling them.0
