Patcher Updates
We’ve made several updates and changes to the ESO patcher in this update.- The patcher will no longer have a selection for the NA and EU realms. Instead, the selection will now be made in-game.
- You will receive a pop-up when you first log in after this update to choose a preferred realm.
- If you have characters on both realms and frequently switch, you can find this option under Settings on the login screen.
- Known Issue: The patcher will still display “The Elder Scrolls Online (NA)” as the main server. However, both NA and EU are accessible by selecting that realm. This will be fixed in a future patch.
- The PTS will still be accessible in the patcher if you have that option selected to display.
- There will no longer be a red/green light indicating the realm status on the patcher.
- This is something we’re exploring as an addition in a future update.
- The image on the installer and the background of the patcher has been changed to a new image of the Tamrielic map.
- If you regularly play on both realms and run different settings for add-ons, these settings will be reverted to default.
- There will be an update to the patcher that we encourage you to download before attempting to launch the game after the maintenance for this update is complete.
Ok so fact I need to download 40 gb files is also intended??!!1 - The patcher will no longer have a selection for the NA and EU realms. Instead, the selection will now be made in-game.

Lady_Ems✭✭✭There will no longer be a red/green light indicating the realm status on the patcher.
This is something we’re exploring as an addition in a future update.
My question about this is simple really.. how can we tell if the game is online or offline without the realm status. @ZOS_GinaBruno Do you know by chance, I really don't want to check the forums before I log in just to find out1 -

You'll need to download the update first (it should only be about 2.3GB), then you can remove the EU folder. If you do it the other way around, you'll need to re-download the entire game.
And how do i download the patch first, it only gives me the huge chunk install option oO1 -

You could try copying the contents of the folder called "The Elder Scrolls Online EU" into a new folder under the same subdirectory called "The Elder Scrolls Online", then starting the launcher.
I have no idea whether that will actually work, just looking at how my installs are set up (I play on both servers, and the one that seems to be currently updating is the one called "The Elder Scrolls Online") and figure it can't hurt to give it a go (just don't delete the EU folder until you have checked that your game is updated and you can log in ok).GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

Go into the Zenimax Folder and simply erase the EU part of the "The Elder Scrolls Online EU" folder.
seems to work, i hope -.-1 -

I would have suggested that but have no idea whether it worked, if anyone is doing that I would still suggest that they make a copy of the EU folder in a different location before renaming it just in case (I prefer a "belt and braces" approach!)Edited by Epona222 on October 5, 2016 3:15PMGM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

Good question, I haven't tried it yet. I would suggest that since the install location is now going to be "Elder Scrolls Online" which is the original NA name, that if you use a desktop shortcut for the old EU install, you will probably need to change the properties for it to point to the exe file in the new folder.GM - Ghost Sea Trading Co - NA PC

This is true, and lesson learned. But after playing ESO for about two and a half years I've never seen the launcher ask me to update anything.

The problem is that even though our "The Elder Scrolls Online" folder is already 50GB+, it still wants to download the whole game, since we only get a "Install" button. For me, it says that I have not enough disk space, even though I have 55GB free. It is pretty wierd. I guess I have to redownload the whole game -_-0
