Hi all,

For once, i will be home for the DLC launch. It says maintenance (and DLC launch i assume) for 11.00 EU time. Never noticed before, since i was at work, so can anyone tell me how long time servers are usually down for? As in what was the downtime with Thieves Guild, Orsinium etc.

Gromag Gro-Molag - Sorcerer - EP
Dexion Velus - Dragonknight - AD
Chalaux Erissa - Nightblade - AD
Firiel Erissa - Templar - AD

    Dear @ZOS_JessicaFolsom, just a quick question: How long is the megaserver maintenance downtime will last to install the DLC on the server side? Are we looking at 4, 6, 9 hours, or longer down time?

    The Dark Brotherhood launch maintenance window on May 31st is scheduled for six hours (starting at 6AM Eastern), but sometimes it takes less, sometimes more. We'll let everyone know as soon as the maintenance is over, either way. :)

    Are patch notes normally posted during the downtime? Really curious on the final changes.

    Yes, usually close to the servers coming back up.

    Patch notes are normally posted near the end of the server side outage, i.e. probably about 6 hours after the outage starts.
    Depending on your internet speed, you will then have another wait of about 1-6 hours to download and install the DLC update.

    It is fairly common to have the following issues AFTER installing any major DLC update:
    1. The first login after installing a new update is often very long and slow.
    2. any PC/Mac addons will be out of date, and might either simply not work, or cause game crashes. Check for updates to the addons regularly over the next few days.
    3. If you use the launcher, there is a period of about a week after every update, where it may say that you have a version mismatch and must do a repair. Don't. First, try closing and re-opening the launcher a few times until you get a "Play" option, and just play the game. Unless you simply can't get into the game, or it crashes frequently, there is normally no need to Repair.
    4. Keep in mind that many skills are being changed, so you may need to respec skills, attributes and/or shift your Champion Points on each character after this DLC.
    5. If you are not a subscriber, you will need to go into the Crown Store after installing the update, and buy the new DLC, to be able to access the new DLC content.
