anyway to install from digital download

odin625b14_ESO
Is there anyway i can re install the game from digital download from the ESO site while its under maintenance or any way to install at all without having the physical discs? I can't get to my account to re install due to the "We will be back soon" message popping up saying that everything is under mainenance...

    Anything left in your download folder from when you originally downloaded the game? Just the small .exe file

    Log into your game account and there's a Download Client link in the game info on the right-hand side.

    That will get you the installer to run.

    Oh, I didn't realise that system was down, though it was just the game servers.

    @odin625b14_ESO‌

    Do you happen to have a friend with the game? Or even better a spouse/sibling/someone in the same house/apartment/on the same dorm floor (sorry - don't know your situation).

    If so - see if THEY have the launcher install file still. You can just transfer the file with a usb stick and start the install.

    In the meantime - do a windows search (assuming windows) for the launcher file and see if it's still lurking in a downloads folder somewhere.

    I keep both the launcher AND a complete copy of the game backed up on an external.

    If you google install_ESO.exe you will find some forums that people have supplied a direct link too. I just tried it and was able to download the file.
    I don't want post a direct link as I can't prove it is safe and the last thing I want is to be blamed for anything nasty happening

    There is only one way. If you did a backup. If not, why not?

    Good time and reason to do one when ya back up Gluck.


    I keep a backup of each version they push out. Came in real handy a couple weeks ago when laucher was wiping itself. If you have an external drive no reason not too. I recommend 'todo backup' its free for home use!
