Where can I find the .exe file?

Syrani · December 2015

Hey all,
I am trying to find the eso.exe file, but can't find it anywhere. I went to Zenimax Online > Elder Scrolls Online EU > Game > Client and it isn't there. (this path was suggested in an old post)

I was wanting to try something suggested in this other post, but need the .exe file for it:

Any idea as to where else it could be?

I apologize if this is a dumb question, but I am very computer illiterate.

I appreciate any help you can give.

For PC, the eso.exe file is going to be where the game is installed. Find the drive you installed the game on and look for the following:

Zenimax Online > The Elder Scrolls Online > game > client. Here you will find eso.exe. The eso.exe isn't a file it executes the game. Just double click the icon and the game will open to the login screen.

You can also right click on it and choose "Send To" and choose "Desktop" and you will now have an icon on your desktop. Just double click the icon on your desktop to start the game. Hope this helps.

Edit * This is for the PC client.

Depending on if you let the game install to it's default location or selected another, it will be something like
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso.exe"
so add -USEALLAVAILABLECORES at the end of that line. If you run on the EU server it would be \The Elder Scrolls Online EU\ rather. If you have a shortcut to the launcher on your desktop, right click that shortcut, select open file location and in the file path window click on "Zenimax Online" to open the folder containing the ESO client "root" folders.
