The Patch Manifest error (Error 209 and 210) occurs when a game client has not updated correctly or the launcher can not determine the version. The result is that the typical patch from one version to the next will not work. You should first try to set the program to run as administrator:
1. Run As Administrator
- Right-click on the launcher icon
- Select "Properties"
- Choose the "Compatibility" tab
- Check the box that says "Run as Administrator"
- Click Apply and OK. Try to run the game.
If you are still experiencing trouble try the following:
2. Repair the Game Client
If the "Play" button reads "Install":Click the install button and start downloading Once the download begins, shutdown the launcher Restart the launcher Expand the Game Options menu (Cog wheel located above the News Feed) It should say "Updating..." Under that it should say Cancel. Click Cancel The expanded tab should now change to include "Repair." Click repair, and wait for it to finish.
If "Play" button reads "Install or Update" during the download process:
- Expand the Game Options menu (Cog wheel located above the News Feed)
- If the tab says "Installing…," restart the launcher
- the tab says "Updating…," click Cancel
- The expanded tab should now change to include "Repair." Click repair, and wait for it to finish.
The repair process will go through a loop of verify --> download --> verify until all the files are repaired. The progress bar will therefore go from 0 to 100 multiple times before it finishes. It is possible that the system will need to download large files.
3. Delete Patcher Program Data Files:
- Navigate to the Patch's install Folder (by Default located at C:\Program Files (x86)ZenimaxOnline\Launcher
- Locate and Delete the "ProgramData" Folder
- Restart the Launcher
- The Launcher should now display "Creating Download." This is normal as the launcher begins the regeneration process. It can take anywhere between 21-30% before the launcher switches to "Downloading Game Files"
- Try to run the the client
4. 15 - 20 Minutes Wait:
- Once the "Patch Manifest Error" reveals itself, click "OK"
- It will sit for about 15-20 minutes show "Patch Manifest" or "Error 209". Play button will be unusable at this time (gray).
- After 15-20 minutes, Play button becomes blue and will launch as normal.
