I recently purchased this today and also downloaded this. However, when it says its 100% done and play becomes lit. I click it and it produces a loading sign next to my mouse but after a short while nothing launches and the play button becomes lit again. I have restarted my computer and internet ect. Also, tried the repair tool to no avail. Someone else please tell me they have had this issue and tell me a fix. Thanks. (It's taking time from my subscription)

    And you are sure you are running it in admin mode? IE: Right click the icon and choose to run in administrator mode.

    Have you updated your video drivers, direct x, etc? When that used to happen to my old desktop on a couple of games it meant that my computer itself could barely run the game if at all. Sometimes updating the sofware can help.
    This is my Signature, but not really because I didn't sign it with a pen and its not my name.

    I ran the beta without problems whatsoever as well as other high-end games. I don't think thats the problem. However, i will in fact look into direct-x as well as other drivers for outdated versions.

    Also, as a temporary workaround, have you tried bypassing the launcher and just launch the app from within the client folder?

    im beginning to feel like i wasted $60 on this game. none of the suggested fixes in the forums are working. hopefully something will roll out patch wise to fix this or i wasted 1 and 1/2 days trying to fix it.

    I had some problems getting the game to launch as well. Turned out there was Malwere on my computer. It was called Linksicle, and was preventing the ESO client from loading/installing. Check your computer programs list, you may have the same problem I did.

    Try disabling your firewall temp or allow ESO through it should launch or you can try right click run as administrator and check run in compability mode win vista

    Nothing helps with the provided responses yet guys. I don't have anymore malware on my PC as well.
