Another patch and again, my wife's ESO will not login, times out, sits on first loading screen. ZOS please post a fix for this or an instruction how to force verify a PC after the patch
Try this @dark_zebra : login again and when it goes to the screen with the revolving dragons in the bottom right corner, wiggle your mouse every 15-20 seconds, see if it does the timeout thing then.
I suspect (but not verified) that after the patches, first run through initializes the game again, reloads the textures etc, so if you're on a mechanical hard drive this can take longer than expected, so the launcher times out with the 308 code, probably never happens for people with an SSD. Hopefully, wiggling the mouse every so often will extend the timeout timer so that the initialization can be completed.
