Zenimax NEEDS to fix Error 210 - Patch Manifest

I've had it, I paid good money to play this game and I feel like this is an actual scam at this point, I've gotten Error 210 3 times now it has taken entire days to fix every time. The only reason I haven't gotten it more is because after the 3rd time I just never closed the launcher.

To add insult to injury when I go to "fix" it with the useless copy-paste fixes that you'll find literally everywhere, I can't, because I'm using the Steam version of the game, meaning I have no "ProgramData" file and no way to access the server.

I've heard that resetting the servers on YOUR end fixes it every time and it makes sense, but you refuse to do it for ***-all reasons.

If this happens again after it decides to fix itself in a day or two I'm never playing this game again and I promise I'll make it my life's goal to tell everyone I can to never play this game, especially through Steam.

I hope someone decides to listen instead of giving me the same copy-paste *** I've gotten a million times.
Sincerely, someone who just wants to enjoy their free time.

    Want an easy solution?

    Stop using the Launcher except on Patch Day. The Patch Manifest error is the dumbest thing as it does not mean anything. But it does stop the launcher from letting you launch the game.

    Instead, use a Shortcut to the ESO64.EXE. You find this EXE in the Root Directory of the game buried in the Steam Directory where your other games are. I have not used the Launcher in about 2 years to run the game.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Okay so when I do that it tells me to log in via the Steam launcher...

    I am unable to confirm but I suspect that @EnviousStruggle is correct. Try @raidentenshu_ESO's solution and if it doesn't work for you, please be patient while Steam works to resolve this issue.

    Hi Daryak The method that I used seem to be working well for me thus far. In fact my FPS seems to have improved since I started using the alternative launcher.


    My steam files are all on my D drive so the location would be tad bit different for players who stored it on their C drives. But anyhow :)

    Make sure you click on the application to avoid launching Steams version of the ESO launcher.

    Try this?

    Since I'm getting the problem again I feel the need to update this, all of the stuff you guys are suggesting I've already tried, there seems to be no fix for this in any possible way, so basically Zenimax is best-in-class when it comes to making game destroying bugs.

    Thanks for trying to help though...
