Just bought this, launcher stuck loading

I just got this game yesterday through steam and no matter what I try, my launcher is stuck loading. I don't have any option to click on anything just loading forever. Things I've tried:

1. Reinstalled the game 3 times now
2. Deleting program data and installing again
3. Launching the game via the .exe but as soon as I try and log in it tells me to close the game and update WHICH I CANT!!!
4. Launching the launcher via the .exe as admin but get the same result.
5. I don't have an antivirus installed anyway so I haven't bothered making a firewall exception
6. Some people say using a vpn helps but I'm not about to go and buy something in the hope that the original thing I paid for will work, that's ridiculous.


I'm all out of idea's and patience now, I shouldn't have to do any of this garbage for a game I just paid for >:(



Yes I've tried google, all I can find are other people with the same issue. Anyone have any other ideas? I'm >< this close to getting a refund tbh.

    Would be lovely to see a response to this. Trying to come back to the game. Brand new laptop bought. Exact same issue.

    You made a mistake buying it on steam my friend. That snip always causes people headaches. If I were you, I would refund on steam if you can still refund, and buy it on elderscrollsonline.com or anywhere else. But make sure its not steam version.

    I have no problems at all running through Steam.

    You won't get any help from zos. My wife has the exact same issue & we've tried everything like you w/ no success.

    My recommendation, get your money back & find another game. I've had the necro block bug since elsweyr w/ no help & fixes. This company is only after your money. Once they have it, good luck.

    Second this. Steam sucks for this game. I repurchased it a few years ago and am very happy I did. It just adds to the many issues this game already has.
