seanmccann · December 2014

installed DISKS DOWNLOADED THE MEGA SIZE PATCH. Once to 100% and the play button comes up, I double click and nothing happens. Its trying to load but just black screen and then pop up box appears stating ''ESO not responding''
I've tried turning off firewall and antivirus and also tried starting from administrator still can get on. Any thoughts?

I have this same problem on my system.
The install and the game do not create my UserSettings.txt file.
I had the black screen attempting to launch the system as well.
I'm running Windows xp -64 bit on that system.
I would be curious what OS you are running and if this fixes your problem as well.

This is what I did to fix my issue.

The new UserSettings.txt file post patch contains several new instruction lines that are not in the pre-patch file.

I believe editing your UserSettings.txt file will actually get the game to successfully launch for you.

INDIVIDUAL CONFIGURATION LINES/COMMANDS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED:

Command: "SET RequestedNumThreads "0" been REPLACED with two different command lines added.
SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "0"

The following 4 command lines could be added to your UserSettings.txt file with no deletions.

SET MULTI_GPU_CHECK "1"
SET DisableFXPrecaching "1"
SET PreferExclusiveFullscreen "0"
SET MonsterTellsEnabled "1"

Best of luck.
