    Just tried to launch from patcher too... have selected "Run 64Bit Game Client" and selecting 'Play' will not load the game. To play I have to manually launch from eso.exe.

    Update: Just deselected the above 64Bit option and game will play from launcher... obviously using x86 version. I'm running Windows 10 64-bit.

    Maybe the update on that just "failed" like with the master writ style display in the german client. ZOS never fails to surprise on these patches.

    The first time I tried to patch, it gave me an error that a file was in use, I closed error and it asked me to repair. I repaired, still got the same error. I then shut down and restarted, game seemed to successfully update but now 64Bit version won't work.

    @ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom Any help with this would be much appreciated, would like to have 64-Bit version accessible again. I know the 'eso64.exe' file still exists in the folder but it no longer has the Elder Scrolls icon and as I mentioned before, it will not activate when clicked nor will 64-Bit version launch when selected within the Launcher settings.

    FIXED! I ended up restarting my system AGAIN... and doing yet another repair... this time it downloaded something additional versus last repair and this time 64-Bit works. I don't know why this occurred, but it took two repairs for the game to be back to normal again after this update.

    I would suggest repairing your client and if not try running client with administrator privileges.

    Having the same issue, both the 32 bit & 64 bit aren't working. I've tried repairing and running as admin, i hope uninstalling and reinstalling and restarting fixes it but if not then i'm not sure what to do.

    I'd already done a few repairs - simply because the patch failed... but running the launcher as admin then doing a repair seemed to fix it.

    I could say I'm glad to see I wasn't the only one having an issue with this last patch, but I wouldn't wish having to deal with these type of headaches on anyone.

    I uninstalled, reinstalled, then restarted my computer then ran a repair which seemed to fix it for me.

    The 64.exe was giving me trouble since last weeks maintenance. Numerous crashes. Ran a repair, files downloaded, thought it was fixed until it started crashing again. Gone back to using the standard shortcut.
