Is anyone getting the Unexpected internal error now I have gotten now for about and hour after trying to sing in.

    I'm using steam to play ESO. It seems that ESO couldn't be log in with offline steam while steam is down.

    Edit: Are you using steam too because I also received the same error.

    Have you bought and installed ESO via Steam? Might be the reason, at least i know someone who can't login and the only thing that probably makes sense is that the game was bought and installed via Steam (and Steam is offline right now).

    Any idea what the issue might be?

    ESO on Steam uses your Steam Account to login, if Steam is down/offline the game can't verify your account and therefor doesn't login.

    The error message is pretty generic though, so not sure ZOS anticipated this being an issue.


    EDIT: Just saw OPs 2nd post, no idea why you might be getting the error if your game wasn't bought through steam. Maybe ESO is also having issues :/

    I'm a steam peasant.
    Logged in with default launcher.
    All is going okay now, but eso plus is not activated.
    I can take it. Good luck to Gabe.

    @baltic1284 His game is connected to his Steam Account, which means login(the normal way), Crown Purchase and ESO+ is handled by Steam and not the ZOS backend.

    He went around Steam login to get into the game, which more then likely means his ESO+ can't be verified by the client.

    if he bought the game in steam before November 2016, he can use both launchers
    actually he have two eso accounts instead of one now

    What about Steam makes one a peasant? I didn't know that was a thing. I personally prefer Steam as it has my library saved so I can not be hassled to keep all those games on a hard drive.
