I have this funny problem with my launcher and I thought maybe some of you had it too so you can help me. Basically when I run the launcher the only button I have is "Repair" and if I click on it launcher crashes. I am on windows 8.1 at the moment. Did any of you had the same problem? Is there a solution for it. I tried all solutions I found in google and nothing worked so far :(

    what I do to play at the moment is I found eso.exe file and click on it. that brings me straight to the ingame login page... but it doesn't download any patches so it's a pain in the neck in the situations like now when we have a new patch and I need to run the launcher to download this patch... but flipping launcher doesn't want to work properly and I'm in trouble. I may end up uninstalling the game and installing it back after the patch is live. just frustrating, that's all.

    I think I am going to do full unistall and start downloading it all again :( I think this is the only option for me to get this new patch to be downloaded since the launcher doesn't seem to want to work with me. Maybe fresh install will fix the problem? Let's see.

    you probably tried Bethesda.net_Launcher.exe if you were asked to repair. What I ment was eso.exe which doesn't open the launcher at all - it goes straight to the game. I won't download anything though so if your game files are incomplete or you want to download the patch - it won't work... and here comes my problem because I want to download this patch and I can't since launcher doesn't work :(

    Ok... so after reinstall and repair launcher still doesn't work - now it shows me pop up informing that the eso servers are under maintenanceo4ixd3x.jpg
    I checked online - servers are not down :(
    I don't really know what to do with it. I guess I will keep using eso.exe to play the game :(

    Maybe try using the FAQ:

    https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25964/kw/launcher%20maintenance

    Make sure to run the launcher as admin. Also, are you trying to install from the DVD? Use the launcher version from the website instead.
    I have approximate knowledge of many things.

    I did exactly as in this support article and the problem remains :( I play ESO for some time now and I wouldn't complain at all really because I keep using eso.exe and it's all fine as long as there's no new patch. I need to download a patch via launcher and here comes back the problem because it doesn't work :(

    Oh I forgot to add if I close that pop up for about 2 seconds it shows "updating" after that all buttons disappear
