    Err, no. When I tried to download the patch, I got an error saying the patch was unreadable, and the option to repair. The repair option sadly refers to the game, not the patch. :( Now I'm waiting for the game to re-download. At least 2 more hours.

    I'm waiting for the game to download now, currently at 44%, because I clicked repair, thinking it would repair the patch.....
    If it tells me to download again, I'll be most upset.

    Downloading or Applying?
    Downloading = download zip files (2GB)
    Applying = extract and change everything (50GB+)

    Currently says Elder Scrolls - 51%
    Downloading 24200MB remaining

    So that's the game, not a 2GB patch.

    THIS! this has happened to me in the last two months when i tried to come back. i downloaded, then when it finished it said the same thing. Had to redownload, except it takes me a day or two because my internet sucks and i dont have many options for an ISP.
    Im waiting for repair. If i have to redownload, after dropping a Benjamin to come back recently, I'll be pretty annoyed. ~_~

    After repair, it seems its making me download 50GB of data. [snip]

    EDIT: Okay... so apparently if you get the error, you will most likely try to repair, after repair it will make you download 50+GB, THEN if you pause it and close the launcher and reopen it says "PLAY" but it crashes everytime because obviously we need the real patch to work correctly for everyone and that isn't happening.

    I just sat down at my computers. The one that had the launcher told me to repair and it is VERIFYING 40gb right now. The one that didn't have the launcher open downloaded the patch and is currently APPLYING it.
    Hopefully, neither one will turn around and download the entire game.

    How do you play this game without the launcher to apply patches? Steam?
    I need another option because my internet sucks and i dont want to redownload the game just to find out it's going to happen again.

    Well, still downloading, currently 60^. I suppose after that I'll have to wait for the Applying and Verifying stages to complete too, so looks like I won't be playing anytime soon... :(

    For anyone who has to redownload dont forget to remove the previous 50+GB of data. Who knows what sort of issues there would be. Perhaps none, but apparently 2GB patches break entire installations.

    Their download server is just screwed. I was playing, closed the game, opened it again and had to verify and download again.

    Console players seem to always get hit with downloads this size when new content drops.

    It's especially painful is you have 1mb/s downloads like me :(
