Hi all, thanks for letting us know about this. The team is aware of this bug and is working on a fix. When we have a fix ready, we'll update everyone regarding this.

Hi all, confirming that the "true way clay dials" lead is not working as intended. However, the team is aware and has a fix for this. The fix will be available in the next incremental.

Also we checked with the team on "frog metal buckle". This is dropping and working as intended.

Since these dates are up in our sweepstakes rules, we have updated them here in the Q4 Events Thread. Please keep in mind that these are can still be subject to change and we will update if that is the case. However, the articles with information will come out closer to each event date. Keep an eye on our channels for that content.

Official Discussion Thread for Article, "Check Out These Incredible #TESOctober 2022 Fan Creations"

"ESO’s community came together to deliver another amazing month of artwork during #TESOCtober—check out just some of our highlights!"

Okay, so just chatted with the dev team. They are aware of the issue from another bug report and are working on a fix for this. However in the meantime, to get past this issue, you will need to drop the quest, start it again and go through it again without being grouped. We had a few devs test this and they were able to continue the investigation.

Hi All, we believe we have a fix for this issue. Please see below:

If you are receiving a "checking invalid game files" error when you try to launch ESO, you may have files like "screenshots" saved under your Game Client Directory. (These will be detected as invalid.)

Some addons may save your ESO screenshots in the game client folder, and this can result in the "checking invalid game files" error.

Please locate the folder where your screenshots are being saved and either delete them or save the screenshots folder on your desktop.

Your default ESO screenshot folder file path should look something like this:
C:\Users\\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\live\Screenshots

This is where your screenshots should be saved to avoid the patcher detecting "invalid files" under your Game Client directory.

Official Discussion Thread for Article, "ESO Live: November 4 @ 4PM EDT—The Elder Memes Explores Galen"

"The indomitable Elder Memes joins the ESO Community Team to explore ESO’s latest DLC."

Hi all. We want to provide an update as we are reaching the end of the day here for us at ZOS. So the team is still looking for the culprit in the code causing this issue. We have been testing throughout yesterday and today and have not been able to reproduce the issue on our end. We are still working today to see if we can track the issue, but this issue is likely to persist into tomorrow. I know that is the last thing any of you want to hear. We are working to get this resolves as soon as possible and will provide more updates as they appear. Thanks again for your understanding and patience.

@StabbityDoom we'll look into your request, but the answer is likely no, unfortunately.

So to continue the game of hide and seek, could folks let me know what version of Windows everyone is using? We haven't gotten any Mac errors reported, so we are making the assumption about windows. But if that assumption does not fit your scenario, please let us know that as well.

Thanks to everyone who has sent the text in the file so far. Sending the text to my DM works as it seems like attaching the file itself is not possible.

Hi All, we have identified a known issue for the "Eye for an eye" questline within our new zone, Galen. At this time, there is an issue where the hiding spot that should spawn while eavesdropping on Yves is spawning underground, making it inaccessible to players. To fix this, players should log out and log back in to respawn the hiding point. This may take a few tries, but should fix the issue in the immediate. This issue should be fixed in the next incremental patch.

Hi All, I am once again coming to you for an additional file. The dev team is looking for a copy of the launcher.settings file from your installed Launcher directory. You can dm that to me. It's the highlighted file in the image below.

Just wanted to note that our team is still looking into this. We have narrowed down the potential issue, but nothing concrete to share yet. I will follow up once we have more solid info. Thanks for your continued patience.

Hi, everyone. Today we are announcing a change in our policy concerning the sharing and discussion of unofficially released information, rumors, and datamining on the official ESO forums. Starting today, all posts containing any rumors, datamined content, or otherwise unofficial, unreleased information will be a violation of our forum community guidelines and will be removed, regardless of whether the information is true or false.

You are still welcome to post suggestions, ideas, and guides related to officially released information that we have shared in articles, livestreams, interviews, on the PTS, and on our social media channels.

While we understand some will be disappointed in this decision, we have made this decision for a few reasons.

[*] We are taking proactive steps to avoid a growing trend in our industry where unofficial information, rumors, and datamining find their way to and become the focus of discussions on official game channels. Th... Read more

Thanks for the continued feedback all. We are going to continue investigating into tomorrow. Remember, if you haven't done so already please make sure to note the following to help us during the investigation.

Are you playing on PC or Mac?
Are you using the native client or Steam?
Are you on PC NA or PC EU?
And would you be able to get a copy of your host developer folder and share it via DM? This is the help article to access the folder: https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/25196/

This info will help us narrow down the issue. Thanks so much.

Bypassing the patcher by launching eso64.exe (Zenimax Online -> Game -> Client -> eso64.exe) has allowed me to log in. I suggest those reading this do that until ZOS can provide a more permanent solution.

If those with issues could try what @"Inari Telvanni" did and try launching the eso64.exe to bypass the launcher, that would be helpful. Let me know if that works and I can pass that on to the team.

If this works for non-steam users, we will write something up to help those on steam replicate the process.

So for those who are not using steam and running the native client, we would like you to delete and reinstall the patcher. The team wrote up some steps for you to try here. Again, any feedback regarding if this worked is helpful. We'll pass any and all information over that could be helpful to the team. Thanks, all.

[list=1]
[*] Close the Patcher
[*] Navigate to the main Zenimax Online directory
[*] Delete the "Launcher" directory
[*] Download the latest ESO installer from www.elderscrollsonline.com
[*] Run the installer and install it to Zenimax Online directory (or whatever your directory is called)
[*] The patcher will open automatically when the installer completes.
[*] See if it opens without issues.

Thanks for the feedback all. Appreciate your patience here. Relaying your feedback to the team to continue investigations.

Thanks, @HappyDan. This is helpful.

We have a potential work around from the team if you would like to try. I'll list the steps below:

[list=1]
[*] Close the Patcher
[*] Navigate to their Patcher directory
[*] Delete the Bethesda.net_Launcher.version file
[*] Restart the patcher to see it self updates and opens normally
[/list]


Let us know if this works for you. If not, we'll go back to the drawing board.
