If anyone has had this problem and fixed it, please help! I have been able to play this game before but now it just crashes. I've went to the "known technical issues" and followed everything there, but no luck!

    Repair the game client

    1. Click here for instructions on how to repair the game client.
    2. Restart the computer after running the "repair."
    3. Try to run the the client.

    Deleting the program data

    1. Navigate to the patch installation folder (by Default located at C:\Program Files (x86)ZenimaxOnline\Launcher).
    2. Locate and delete the ProgramData folder.
    3. Restart the Launcher.
    4. The Launcher should now display "Creating Download." This is normal as the launcher begins the regeneration process. It can take anywhere between 21-30% before the launcher switches to "Downloading Game Files."
