Game won't update through Steam

Every time this game has a patch, the Steam Client won't update.
This has happened the last 3 patches or so.
Every time a new patch arrives and I launch through Steam it gives an error and it wants to repair.
after repairing it says something else has gone wrong and I need to repair again and again in an endless loop.
The only thing that works for me is to delete the whole game and re download it again.
This is getting really annoying.

I contacted support and they are not helpful, they gave me the standard check your drivers and internet connection etc.
Which I did just to rule out a problem on my end.
But that didn't resolve anything, A new patch was launched today and again I cannot play and it wants to repair.
This time around I did a repair and after that launched the game manually through the game folder instead of the launcher/steam and guess what, now the game works.

So every new patch I need to "repair" the game and after that I cannot launch it through steam unless I re download the whole game.
This is ridiculous and I am looking for some kind of fix so I don't need to download the whole game again.
When I am trying to contact Bethesda support again I need to do so by sending a new ticket, since I keep "resolving" the problems by re-downloading the game.

    Just saying. My wife runs ESO from steam. She didn't have a problem updating with this patch. Has never had a problem in the past either.
