I had problems at first with Steam Sunday. I found a suggestion from Bethsaida
RESET THE PROGRAMDATA FOLDER
If playing on PC, you can also try resetting the ProgramData folder:
Close both ESO and the ESO Launcher.
Open the game's installation directory.
Open the folder named Launcher.
Inside the "Launcher" folder, there is a folder named "ProgramData".
Rename the "ProgramData" folder to "ProgramDataBackup".
Open the launcher "REPAIR" and download update.
Click Play.
That worked for Me and only took 30 mins. I been playing ever since no issues.
Yet I kept seeing people complaining about not being able to start game, not even replying to the suggestion I posted,
people just kept making increasing slanderous comments about service.
A person on Steam forums even went so far to start a campaign to get ESO a negative rating and dropped from Steam.
When I made the suggestion about trying what worked for me, I was told "I'm not trying that because the banner clearly say's ESO is currently working on The Fix with Steam"
Ok thats the long term fix, in the mean time they offered a temp solution allowing you to at least get in to the game, and play till the Final solution is offered.
I didn't notice anyone from The ESO Forum Moderators helping to explain this to people either. That might of helped resolve a lot of what has now become for some
an opportunity to divert new players from trying game, because so many people posting on internet all the negative things that really are untrue.
Every game keeps a folder on your computer with a clean file with no known issues in it.
That is the basic game file they draw upon when issues come up they use to get clean start point.
PROGRAM DATA.
Help Me out on this Moderators am I saying it wrong?
The fix is temporary till the Permanent update has been tested and offered.
It at least lets you into the game..
I am just curious if any one all besides Myself tried to use that solution and had as much SUCCESS a I did?
It sucks for all of Us if smear campaigns are circulated on the internet about a PRODUCT We have invested in, and The stuff is untrue.
I been playing everyday no issues.
Thank You for any input.

Yeah. Unfortunately, this is correct, not all technical solutions will work in all situations. Even when you're talking about live deployment of the same client.
So, while it's good to get those methods out there, it's not a panacea.
Also, in future, I'd recommend cleaner formatting. For example:Try resetting the ProgramData folder:- Close ESO and the Launcher.
- Open the game's installation directory. (You can find this by right clicking on the game in your library, selecting properties, going to the Local Files tab, and then selecting Browse Local Files.)
- Open the Launcher directory.
- In the Launcher directory, locate the ProgramData directory, and rename it to something else. (EG: "ProgramDataBackup")
- Open the launcher.
- Under the News Header, you should see menu labeled, "Game Options," marked with a small ESO Ouroboros.
- From the Game Options menu, select "Repair," and allow the repair to continue.
- Once the repair has completed, click, "Play."
When you're formatting without the benefit of a list function, try inserting double spaces between breaks, and possibly annotate each step with a number or an asterisk, to help clarify when you're moving from one step to the next. The clearer the instructions are, the easier it will be for people to follow them.0 -

systems and getting it to work without breaking something else.
When players claim a Game isn't trying to fix the problem they need to remember the realitys.
