REPAIR is now on second repair and unable to play?

zittylolb14_ESO · April 2015

Already unable to login-into game as REPAIR is stuck in a loop of never ending REPAIRING....this will be confirmed on my third REPAIR MODE....and if I do not edit that means I got passed the second repairing looping again and again?

Really a repair that downloads, then repairs after confirming what?....Maybe this would be better done while being allowed to play as that is all this addict you have created with this great game can or wants to do......HURRY_UP?
All joking aside I do realize you all are doing a great job at creating the best MMO...KEEP UP THE GREAT JOB...tyvm zenimax.

restart launcher multiple times until "play" button becomes available. I do that every day. Sometimes I need to restart 5 or 6 times. I've never pressed "repair"..

DO NOT REPAIR

Just close the launcher and reopen it a few times, its a bug with the launcher. Or run ESO.exe directly. If its patched, ESO can be run without the launcher fine.

If the launcher times out trying to check with the ESO server, it reports a error and says you have to repair when 99% of the time there is no issue, just close the launcher and reopen it.

Thanks again Zenimax for putting up with this lame-old-man who loves this game.
And hates the bad parts I do not like....do not getting me going on that line of trolling?

yeah something broke with the launcher me thinks because i went to go play pillars of eternity then came back to play ESO once i was done and then it needed to "repair" used a different icon then the desktop and work perfectly fine so i dunno o.O

This happens after every patch. The error message is wrong, and you don't need a repair. The server is just slow to respond with that "patch manifest" to tell the launcher that everything is OK, and instead of saying "the server is taking too long to respond, retrying" the launcher goes bananas and says "OMG I don't know what's happening, better suggest a full repair, that can't hurt, can it?"

It's just bad programming. Don't hit that "repair" button. Just restart the launcher and hope for the best, or start the game by double clicking the file "eso.exe".
