Can't get past login screen - "ESO has stopped working" EVERYTIME. Anyone else having this?

Before the most recent patch I was having no issue getting logged in. When I tried to login the first time after the patch was installed, I got an infinite load screen. As I always have to do after a patch, I ran a repair.

Now every time I log in, ESO freezes about 2-3 seconds later and I get the "ESO has stopped working" notification. I've tried closing the launcher and opening it back up, I've run two repairs now, but nothing is working. Is anyone else having this issue, and if so, have you managed to get it taken care of?

Why is it patches seem to break more than they fix? =/

EDIT: Well, as soon as I posted this, I managed to make it past the point I was crashing at before. Sadly, I'm now back to having infinite load screens. Can't win for losing, bah.

    @phairdon I've repaired the client if that's what you mean; I'm not sure if there's a way to repair the Launcher itself. Either way it's working now, but I'd still like to know if anyone else keeps having these issues after every patch.

    Did have issues with the game crashing after 1.6 (ESO has stopped working). Not sure what exactly happened as my game went from playable for 4 days to unplayable, as in CTD after launching. Ran a repair & the game downloaded more files. Somehow my game had rolled back.
    The launcher is the shortcut, if you look under game options on it, you can repair (which you probably know).

    After updates I often had my video settings reset on my old video card, which set the settings to a too high level, which always causes me loooooong loading screen times.

    To fix that on the login screen, I always checked to see if my video settings had been reset and changed them back to an optimal level before i log in.
    That might be your problem.
    As a casual player I was satisfied that at one point I had a char max level and near max crafting with almost all motifs and I pretty much lost interest. Then ESO discovered DLC's and now my main is just a wanabe and I am happily pulled back into the game.

    Shouldn't have to delete addons but you should probably deactivate them. Whenever I have login or issues with crashing it's almost always an addon that is the culprit.

    Deactivate addons then reactivate a few at a time to determine the bad apple. Then keep that one deactivated until there is an update for it.

    Additionally, if you are not already, use a program like Minion as a mod manager. It will make your life and ESO experience so much better because it takes care of keeping the mods updated.
