I dont think it's a Steam issue

Takes a long time for the launcher to load, takes 2 minutes to go from password input to character selection and the load times for zone switches and from character selection to being in game is horrendous. I have an MSI z270 gaming pro Mobo, i7 7700k, 32GB RAM, twin GTX 1080s and a 1TB SSD running the game thru a direct connection to a 200 Mbps ISP. Im highly doubting it's a steam problem as I dont use Steam. I think that what ever is the overall issue is lagging the steam connection to timeout..

Yup. Husband just gave it up for the night and he was not trying to access ESO, but another game.

I dont think this is a steam issue. I think the lag, slowdown, whatever you want to call the over all issue, is causing steam to time out.0 -

if that was the case - other games would work fine. but they don't seem to be. moreover - people with non steam version are logging in without any problemsEdited by Linaleah on February 15, 2018 1:37AMdirty worthless casual.

If it wasn't a Steam issue then why are other games that are on Steam that aren't ESO being affected?Gold Dragons Guildmaster PC-NACR2000+Kalthar Wolf-Brother – EP Templar - 50 Maeli Valen - EP NB - 50Naps-During-Trials – EP Templar - 50Rulnakh - EP Sorc - 50Azrael Krieg - EP NB – 50Uvithasa Telvanni – EP DK – 50More-Tail - EP Warden - 50Narile Galen - EP Sorc - 50Bone Soldier - EP Necro - 50Naps-During-Trails - EP Necro - 501 -

Yet you were quick enough to say it wasn't a Steam issue. Right.Lighting braziers and dispelling wards in Tamriel since 19941 -

Because of the accumulation of evidence that with or without steam, the launcher lags, the time from password imput to character selection is over 1 minute and the long load screens from character select to game entry and from zone to zone is so long that a timeout actually make sense.
I've been informed that Fallout and SWtOR arent having any issue thru steam but more info coming.

Again I say it's not a steam issue.1 -

No, I'm not having issues playing any other Steam game either. But it doesn't logically follow that it *cannot* be a Steam issue with ESO in particular. Which it is.
A fact that everyone except you seems to understand.

Easy_PreySoul ShrivenAlso, the "login error" message appears in about 5 seconds, not 2 minutes for me, so it's not a timeout issue that OP jumped to conclude. Curious why it takes OP 2 minutes to get from login to character screen... takes me about 20 seconds (when it's not broken). Let me guess wildly at the problem... maybe you have a fragmented SSD? (LOL, that's a joke there.)
I do find it curiouser and curiouser that I had a Windows 10 update pending when the problem started. Hmmm...0 -

Reread the thread label and my original post - I used the words *I dont think it's a steam issue*. And then gave the reasons.
And what you're relaying as "fact" Im getting the exact opposite from people I've been gaming with for more than 7 years. Some of us have actually met in person. And I will trust them over some one I've not met every time. Nothing personal but I dont just hand out trust like candy on Halloween. If the community Im in(well over 500 people across 3 discords and 2 teamspeak servers) says they arent having issues with Steam outside of ESO... That's the corner Im standing in.Edited by jaye63 on February 15, 2018 1:57AM1 -

Understandable. Then you'll understand that my husband of decades carries more weight for me. He's unable to log in to Steam, end of.
Now, the difference might be that we're in the EU, who knows. Fact remains and he's not alone.

You made me sneeze coffee on my monitor with the fragmented SSD comment. I gotta learn not to read the forums when Im drinking coffee,
But yeah... wonder if the issue is that the W10 update isnt messing with the game servers. Who knows. It was just an idea that fit the circumstances and may result in them figuring it out.
As for the 2 min load from login to char select... that was just before I posted this thread.0 -

I'll go pester my husband to log into Witcher and see if he can get in. Not sure what he was trying to get into a bit ago and totally failed. Will edit if he tries and isn't already asleep.

BloodWolfe✭✭✭✭I don't know what the specific issue is but for me it's with the ESO Launcher via Steam. I get to login and get the error but if I load the game up using the eso64.exe I can login just fine. Of course though, the stupid part is that even though I have until 22 Feb with my ESO+, it doesn't show up when logging in without using the launcher through Steam.
ZOS you guys really need to update the account system to reflect in our account page when we have subbed to ESO+ through Steam. My crowns show up so why can't the ESO+ show up too? That way when we can't login using the Steam version of the game we can still play with our ESO+ membership showing up. What a joke of a system you guys have in place.Edited by BloodWolfe on February 15, 2018 2:44AM1 -
ZOS_BilladminWe are closing this thread because there is already an ongoing discussion regarding the Steam issue here. If you still have issues you can post in the linked thread.
Currently, we are aware that some Steam players are having issues logging into the North American and European PC/Mac megaservers. We are actively investigating and will let you know when we have an update.Edited by ZOS_Bill on February 15, 2018 2:33PMThe Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited - ZeniMax Online Studios
