I was forced to reinstall the game yesterday due to a huge crash in game that gave me a blue screen. After that crash I was bugged out of space, with crazy things like: holding my staff backwards, not being able to interact with the environment (opening doors, converse with NPC's, etc.) and getting a blank page where my emails should be.

After nothing I did worked, I decided it was that horrible time again: the game had to be reinstalled.
And I know from previous reinstalls that this is a HUGE ordeal every time again...

I let it install during the night and woke up to a much anticipated spoil in the download, the infamous Error 210 - PatchManifestError_DownloadFail

I have done everything I could find on the internet to fix this problem; tried everything in this old thread: https://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/en/discussion/145601/error-210-patchmanifesterror-downloadfail

• Run as admin? Nope no effect
• Simply restart the Launcher a few times? Nope
• Download the Patchfile and put it in ProgramData? Nope
• Run eso.exe directly? Can't find the entire thing
• Crying in a corner wrecked by the thought of never being able to play my favourite game? YES

Please guys, anything that helps this wreck of a man is greatly appreciated!
