I had to manually launch the Elder Scrolls Online launcher to download the game and start the installation process of the game. In this video, I show you how to manually launch the Elder Scrolls. How To Solve Elder Scrolls Online Update Freeze Issues. Hello, I have tried numerous methods to help download ESO but nothing seems to work, in fact it seems to make it worse, right now I'm at a stage where after downloading the initial launcher is won't start the download on the launcher, it is stuck on loading. Ive tried pretty much. Launcher will download the game to this folder later. There is no other website or link where you can get latest ESO version! With the main download of 21gb, then patch, then a 90MB update, now is downloading 4GB of another update?

I downloaded the game (50GB) through steam, started the launcher and was promptly asked to download it all over again.

As the title says. I went to steamApps and saw that it had created two folders - the 50GB folder steam downloaded, and the 32GB folder the launcher had allocated (same map name, but with (EU) at the end). It wouldn't allow me to copy the files I just downloaded to the EU folder, so I had to re-download everything from the launcher. The 50GB I just downloaded through steam was seemingly worthless.
If I download the launcher through elderscrollsonline.com, the total size it requires for download is 32GB. I don't really know what's up, but it seems steam is downloading a version that's no longer in use. I'm on a 1GB connection so it's not that big of a problem, but if you're on a slower one you might want to skip the steam version.
EDIT: Steam downloads the NA version of ESO, so if you pick EU as your megaserver in the launcher you are prompted to re-download the game because the launcher expects the files to be in: SteamAppscommonZenimax OnlineThe Elder Scrolls Online EU. A quick fix is to add EU at the end of the folder that steam downloads - this will make it so the launcher only downloads updated patches instead of the whole game.

EDIT 2: You can also shave off around 17GB by deleting the french and german vo folders and intro movies if you only want the english version.

This issue might be because of several reasons such as the security software you may have installed on the computer, any program or application running on the computer at the back ground or due to drivers not being updated or corrupted.
