You're kidding right?

This launcher is complete trash, error after error every single time a patch is released. Guess what, Patch Manifest Error yet again.

You might want to remove this article https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/6486/kw/patch manifest following those instructions deleted my file and now it's making me redownload the whole game. Yet again. Saying the files are no longer there and the Launcher had removed all my ESO files.

I love it when I have to reinstall this game 5 times and run a repair and get patch manifest errors every single week when there is a new patch.

Launcher needs some serious overhaul and work

All works fine for me.

Maybe you have a virus in your CMOS and its overheating the DVD drive making the network card reformat.

Not trying to be condescending or anything, but I know quite a few people playing eso and none of them have this issue. I know from reading the forums that others besides you have the issue. Most likely it is something with your system, modem, router or even isp corrupting data.

My money is sadly on the ISP. Who're you with?

I know that every time we push out an update at my work, certain ISPs just continuously corrupt the downloads. We have to offer several hosts and several ways of downloading it (through our own downloader, over the web as a zipfile, and so forth) to work with everyone.

"But I don't ever get problems in other software!" the players insist. "So the problem is on your end!"

No, our testing there's a problem with specific types of data transfer, on specific ISPs, who for no reason I can tell, corrupt their users' data streams.

So yeah, if you're with Rodgers in Canada, I would not be at all surprised.

Nah, I'm just going to remove every single ESO file from my PC and fresh reinstall it and hope for the best

Got it continually after patch 1.6. Run two short cuts for this game on my desktop. One from the exe file & the other from the launcher. The exe. shortcut would give me the manifest error. Swap to the shortcut from the launcher, no error, game launches.
Next time logging on. Start game from launcher shortcut, manifest error. Try starting game from exe. shortcut, successfully log in.
The manifest error kept swapping between the two shortcuts.
Did not bother using the help listed in the link above. either run a repair on whichever launcher is problematic at the time or swap to the other launcher.
