Well, just to check here.... you don't have a leftover instance of ESO hanging in the background do you? If you're on PC, open Task Manager to check.

Nothing on task manager.

I had the same pop-up this morning. Hit 'close' on the message, and then 'Update' on the launcher, and the patch downloaded.

Can you not close the message, or is it popping up again when you try to download the patch?

Had to reboot my computer to get it working

eso64.exe sometimes doesn't close out even if the game isnt running. killing the task in task manager->details works.. or rebooting as you found out

my task manager didn't find eso64.exe running.

I had a ghost instance in my resmon ... manually killed it and it patched fine. Not sure what was up with that.

weird, you were under details and it still didn't show?

I wonder if getting kicked out of the game to desktop can leave a vestige of ESO64.exe in memory— maybe not enough of a vestige to show up as a running process in Task Manager, but enough of one to be detected by the launcher?

Don’t mind me, I’m just crazy-speculating out loud, and figuring out ways to use “vestige” in casual conversation!

Still you still could of had a .dll from the program on the hook...That wouldn't show up in TM...but would still keep a program from launching.
