Same here, it's the "connection to server timed out" glitch, right?

After several months of smooth sailing with no crashes, disconnects or ILS, this dreaded bug rears it's ugly head again.

It's a Steam-related issue and unfortunately there's nothing we can do but wait for it to get fixed.

New patch, and yet again can't log into EU servers but can log into US... now for the ongoing forum drama where players argue between whether it's ZOS or Steam at fault.

Here's a hint... there wasn't a Steam patch before trying to log in!

I honestly couldn't care less about whose fault this is.

The only thing that interests me is that fixing the issue doesn't take days like the last time.

I could log in now... thanks... could one be given the ticket and daily gift I couldn't get yesterday?

And on another note... Only reason I have to log in through steam is that my GF bought Morrowind through there, and I couldn't play it unless I added ESO to steam... BUT!!! Is there a way to go AWAY from steam once added?

I asked the same question, and sadly I think the answer is no. Or maybe it's only unless you've made purchases like crowns and other. I don't remember. Point is expect the answer to possibly be no.

OK found a fix. After running repair and it still had the same problem, crashed trying to login. OK I found the problem and it is NOT a unknown problem and ESO needs to fix this ASAP. I found that the "new update" was indeed 41gb as I stated in another thread. It was NOT 3.2gb as they stated. After it installed the 40 GB of data it left the open space as less than 80 gb as the game requires AS OPEN SPACE ON THE DRIVE. Not 80gb of space for the game, 80gb of FREE space on the drive. When the game starts up it runs a minimum system check for the game, since there was only 75GB left as OPEN space on the drive (SSD) it failed the check so the game "crashes". It lies to you and says the game as crashed. It has NOT crashed, it has failed to pass the OPEN space test on startup and the game then STOPS LOGGING IN, thus giving the FALSE crash report. I had to delete another game on the drive to open up enough space to pass the OPEN space check the game performs on start. I hope that helps someone else who is having crash on start problems with the new patch. Check your freespace is at least 80 GB of OPEN space on the drive. Good luck and take care!
