Launcher "news" section not updating

Mix · June 2015

This is not a big problem like many people on here report with their launchers (mine updates the game and launches it just fine), but I figured I'd put it out there in case anyone knows why it is doing this.

My launcher randomly just decided not to update the news section, it still has the news about the panther mount, crown store sale. Any idea what I could do to make it update the news?

I have the same problem. The launcher 'news' seemed to disappear one day, and came back shortly after with crown store info from May. It hasn't updated since. Anyone got a fix for this? Thank you.

Yup, me too. I had the reset thingie you are describing as well.

Glad to see I'm not the only one with this issue. I tried repairing the client as well, did not fix the issue.

Same exact here.

I ave the same problem, and it seems not to be a launcher update issue. The news is even older than some I saw before the last update. It's irritating. Perhaps all hands are on deck for the console launch and we are just outa luck.

Add one more to the list. My news is currently announcing the 5/21 crown store sale. It been that way for a week or more. I waited to see if an update would fix it. But the latest (~6/15) didn't.

As mentioned, it's not really a big deal, but I used to glance at it every time I fired up the launcher to see if there was something going on that I might want to know about.

It would be nice if it got fixed...

I emailed tech support (Incident: 150617-002108) and they said it's not actually an issue, that the May 21-26 Crown Store Sale news is the latest news item: "Your Launcher seems to be updating correctly as the latest news displayed there is from 21/5 for everyone." I would've swore I had later news items that at one point disappeared and 'rolled back' to the May messages, but I guess I wrong...

^ No, you're not wrong. Until recently, the launcher always displayed the most recent news from the website. For whatever reason, ZOS decided to make the launcher news set to Crown Store only.

Since you actually took the time to ask ZOS rather than wait for someone to post in this thread, it's now confirmed that the launcher will only display Crown Store news from now on.

Hopefully since the store was updated today (6/18), we can get a new Crown Store update on the launcher.

Well support told me to delete launcher folder for 209 error and download the launcher/install file from my account screen and yes it is now updated, but didn't fix 209 error!

Only takes couple of minutes, no will not download entire game.
