    I have tried through Steam and directly launching the eso64.exe and the login attempt is timing out.

    Seriously can you guys figure out why this keeps happening with steam users consistently and work with Steam to fix it?

    I bought and originally installed the game as a steam install and later deleted and fresh installed a digital version from zenimax, but I am having the exact same issues as the current steam users. there seems to be a residual steam api file on my computer somewhere, and if I remove it, I can no longer even reach the login screen. I wonder if there is something in that file that is blocking things?

    the file name&location:

    steam_api64.dll
    ‪C:\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\steam_api64.dll

    thanks!

    I have login problems with ESO as well as with Quake Champions, both connected to steam. So it seems Zeni/Bethesda are both having problems.

    On the other hand Quake Live works fine, but I think this is running on Steam servers.

    BTW, one of the error messages tells me to log in with the steam client which I no longer have. thanks again.

    Actually, I'm the same as you, but I have a new PC with a fresh DVD version install on it, and no Steam, and can't login. I have the game listed on steam but don't use it.

    API stands for application programming interface and just a way to connect program to a different program. For example by adding Steam API, Zenimax make ESO able to launch and login Steam users. So it's dll can't do harm without Steam itself.

    TL;DR: This file contains code Steam uses. Without Steam it's useless.

    Took about 10 mins of failed logins to finally get in.........
  • Patrickaus
    So, I just navigated to C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\game\client\eso64.exe and clicked on it and it allowed me to login!

    I am trying to login to the account section of elderscrollsonline.com and keep getting either a 504 Gateway error or a message like this:
    "The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.
    Your support ID is: 11808970524035644783"

    Trying to redeem my Summerset code and this makes it impossible.

    I also could not login to the game client using my Steam link. It kept giving me a timeout or an error message and I had to use the eso64.exe launcher in my steamapp/docs folder to launch the client.

    Hi,

    sorry to say but this is getting to a point it's almost embarrassing how often we cannot log in (Steam users).

    It's been almost 4 hours, and still no response from any dev's? @ZOS_GinaBruno how much time/hours/days do we wait? Every trial is buged, game crashes non-stop, 0 performance improvement from update 18, only freezes and fps drops, and now we cant even play the game we paid for? And you are forcing twitch drops and crown crates with ad's.

    Can a Mac user tell me where to find the Mac equivalent to the .exe file, please?

    I think it's about time for ESO to let go of Steam....this is ridiculous and happens way too frequently. I guess they signed a contract or something, but when that contract comes up for renewal, they should give players/customers an option to "opt out" of Steam.

    My guess is the problem lies with STEAM. Tried playing BO3 and its like slomo Matrix. Literally unplayable. They really screwed things up with their latest update.

    Is it really Valve? What makes you think that? Just remember that Valve has much better service than ZOS at this point considering things such as Dota 2, CSGO, Steam itself and other titles they have released (server wise, not profit wise). If the issue was really on Valve's side, ZOS would have announced it in no time in order to make their customers know that the issue is not theirs.

    i have to say i am getting fed up with these log in issues. I literally have so little game time that when i want to play it should not be always hampered by such issues as the ability to log in via steam.

    This is my whole Saturday afternoon unable to play. This is ridiculous. And will we be compensated? I highly doubt it. :(

    If you're an ESO Premium Plus subscriber, Bethesda should compensate with additional time.
