✭DO NOT SELECT REPAIR. DO NOT.
This will re-install the entire game from scratch. Now I have to wait 3-4 hours while the whole game re-downloads and re-installs. Thanks, ESO support, for suggesting this solution that doesn't work.I'm a man of few words. Any questions?NA/PC server0 -
lease✭Yeah i get to redownload the entire client again as well, the patch complained that i didnt have 60gb free then went and deleted the entire client folder so it could redownload off to a great start... 1

Dont do it!! It is not a fix, it will cause you to just lose the progress that you already have and you will be back to square one!

There is no "Client" option in the "Elder Scrolls Online Folder-Game" folder. This is not a solution.People try reading This post: forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/67298/if-you-need-to-redownload-the-entire-game-try-this-first

Hadax✭Launcher asked me install instead of patch then told me I needed to clear 60gb of space. So I clicked patch notes and there was nothing new so I just right clicked the launcher shortcut, clicked go to containing folder, found the game exe, used it and now I'm in. The launcher has its own folder so you will have to go up one and into the other to find ESO.exe.0

Uh.. downloaded the release patch, and then a 23 gb re-download? You're surely kidding and this is one major "oops" on your end right?0

Fixed for me.
Edit** That's pretty unimpressive that the community needed to come up with solutions to your release patch regarding re-downloading what they already had available on their system. My fix that worked was shockingly just re-running the eso.exe from the client folder.
The game shows great effort and quality from all fronts of development, please don't screw this up with seriously dumb **** like this in the future. It just kills our faith in quality.

ashton✭No offense to the person who wrote the launcher, but i think any torrent would do a better job.0 -

Hit pause. Use the game settings icon IN THE NEWS SECTION, choose cancel, using same icon choose repair. Play after "repair".
This resulted in the launcher again deleting the directory. So now I'm having to restart the download again - 10% wasted.
Files are gone = Nothing to repair0 -
ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerOk, we need one more file, please! It's the application.json file located in C:\Program Files (x86)\Zenimax Online\Launcher\ProgramData. Thank you!1 -
Distrobomb✭✭✭It is making me re-install as well. I'm livid but I also realize that there's nothing I can do about it. What a &%$##@ start for such a promising game.I survived the great ESO launch disaster 2014

1) Open your launcher and hit your repair or install button, then hit PAUSE (if you had already started repairing or downloading the 23Gb file, just hit PAUSE)
2) In the area under NEWS is a GAME OPTIONS drop down menu. Click the down arrow and select CANCEL
3) Click the same down arrow and select REPAIR
4) Now if that worked properly you should get the ACTUAL PATCH which is 4 Gb, followed by a smaller patch... and then be ready to PLAY.
Can't do that if you are on a SSD and don't have 60GB free....
I am actually on and SSD... the whole process took like 2 minutes.
For those not seeing a "REPAIR" option you are likely not looking at the CORRECT settings button. DO NOT USE the button in the upper right corner of the launcher. Use the one at the top of the NEWS section in the middle of the launcher. It is a VERY POOR DESIGN but they have a settings button there that allows you to cancel the upgrade in process, which stops it from auto upgrading, and then run a repair, which checks for patches you already have.
Then it starts you at the right patch. You do NOT need 60 Gb free to do this... you do need about 6 gb because that is the size of the actual patch.0 -

Welll except to start the INSTALL so you can get to the REPAIR button in the NEWS section you NEED 60GB FREE.
