I was unable to get logged in tonight after work, kept getting ERROR 200. Found this work around and got right in. Hope it helps!

Go to Zenimax Online File in your Program files. Open Launcher File. Rename ProgramData to ProgramDataBackup.
Then go to your ESO Launcher, let it update. Close launcher, reopen and should let you in.

Good luck all! This worked for me, so hope it helps.
Huzzah!
Edit Note: Thank You Aravae & Lady Rosabella for showing me this! :wink:

    Sorry to hear.. Worked for me and 10 of my guildies... :(
    Note: you have to capitalize the words like I have above. I posted this in another thread and have had others say it worked for them.
    Hope you get in as I know how frustrated I was to get home from work and still not be able to play.
    Best of luck tho!!

    Doesn't work on my PC.

    Not sure about Mac - rarely use Mac, but resorted to try with this issue - no equivalent ProgData I could find.

    Only way to login on Mac is pure spam - load launcher, start client, fail announcements loading, try to login and fail - but click login over and over....eventually after a few to many, many attempts, will get in.

    But after <1 min to 15 min usually, bumped off again.

    I've been on for hours as well. your fix doesn't do anything at all. it creates a folder (renamed), with noting in it.
    will be something like host.nsghohs534534egeng

    Yep, worked for me. Surprising that something so simple worked. I had hope when the announcements popped up on the login screen and I was able to get a character logged in and everything.

    Thanks for posting this one.

    I hope one day someone is dumb enough to tell me they participated in a DDoS attack in person at a party or something . I will so shave their eyebrows off and draw a extremity of the male anatomy on thier forhead when they pass out .

    Dang, didn't work for me....
    Looking for broken things in hopes they may be fixed. I've given up, my game literally works differently from yours.

    I tried your work around but it failed to fix the Error 200. After "fiddling" around for several hours with no luck I decided to run Norton. After running the Norton scan, I was able to log in and everything work as it should.

    Problem is back after todays patch .... I tried the ProgramDataBackup change and I got to the character select screen but it fails during character load ... everything was fine yesterday then today the patch loads and BAM dead in the water. My error is ERROR 200 (7:4:178:597) .... earlier I got Error 108 (7:5:315:0) but the change to Program Data to rename it ProgramBackupData seemed to get me past that one ...
