ZOS, I hate you so much.

Hello dear ZOS of my heart.
Today, instead of downloading Summerset and its 10 gb, your totally-(un)working launcher makes me download the 60 gb of the game, again. I said again because it isn't not the 1st time it did it to me (and I'm not the only concerned), almost every updates I get it in fact. But today is a special day, because guess what, whatever I did I couldn't pass that stupid bug and finally I have to redownload the full game. So here is a tiny message to prove you, of course, my great devotion to you and to know if you count fixing this annoying ass bug someday or not?

    it's checking the whole installation m8, it's not a download, let it do its thing

    No no, I assure you it's downloading the entire game! :disappointed:

    Had that problem a while back too. Running the launcher as administrator fixed it for me without having to download everything all over.

    I tried this too, made a few things I saw on ancient posts, but nothing worked. The launcher made me some reparations to finally tell me I had to redownload the game. So I just told myself f*** it, I'll make a clean installation and completely reinstall the game. Fml.

    I am currently having the exact same issue @Kalixte.

    It did its initial verify of all files then it reinstalled all files then it verified and reinstalled several patches, then it asked to repair etc...

    I am now caught in an endless loop.


    I will try the run as admin as soon as this loop is finished.

    Just wanted you to know you are not alone :smile: Misery loves company.

    That's exactly this, an "endless loop". I wish you luck and patience then, cause me, I just have abandoned. I prefer to take in the teeth 60 gb cause at least, I know (or I suppose cause ZOS is magic) it will end!

    So I never did get the launcher to work correctly so I kickstarted it by going into my program files Zenimax Online/The Elder Scrolls Online/game/ client and running the eso64.exe file as an administrator.


    So basically I am in summerset right now running around only because I sidestepped the launcher completely.

    Still, have to go back and see what is screwing up my launcher.
