  • oNastyNordy oNastyNordy (@oNastyNordy) reported

    @TESOnline After this little update that was just pushed. We can not login into the game. Keep getting an error. Please look into it!

  • Duelscythe ᎠŮΞŁ (@Duelscythe) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline So I was forced to download the patch but then can’t login because the game says I need a patch.

  • chris_pokey Chris Pokrzywa (@chris_pokey) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I’m seeing “Patch required. Please download and install to access online features.” even though I have nothing to download. I’m assuming that’s a part of this issue?

  • MTU_Sandman Johnny (@MTU_Sandman) reported

    @TESOnline Your 800+mb patch just broke the xbox na servers. Can't even login as it keeps asking for a patch. I've already patched it, I can't patch it any further. Stop breaking your game.

  • FalloniaNiteowl Niteowl (@FalloniaNiteowl) reported

    @TESOnline I’ve installed the new patch and now I’m not even able to sign into ESO at all. I keep getting the same error message, patch required. To excess online features. I watched it install, I even quit the game and restarted my console, please is any one else having this issue???

  • RayvinRM13 HevyMetlHed (@RayvinRM13) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Really, y'all? No other game developer would allow for their systems to be so broken for so long. But we give it a pass because we love this game. But now, a glitched patch during peak hours? Your fans and players deserve better than this.

  • iNSiMulATioN66 iNSiMulATioN (@iNSiMulATioN66) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline I think its time people start contacting Xbox and start complaining about this horrific service. The se devs need to be help accountable. Whatever they’re doing isn’t working. FIRED. As a eso plus subscriber I believe at this point all funds should and need to be refunded.

  • hostetlerjd James Hostetler (@hostetlerjd) reported

    @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Stop applying band aid fixes to everything. Do a deep dive on your code and extensively test it before you send it out to the masses. Maybe less patches with changes to gear sets every 2 months and instead fix long standing issues. I can’t believe I still pay for this game.

  • AliceKing69 Alice King 🌒🌕🌘 (@AliceKing69) reported

    @TESOnline @Krista_J_Davis Does not address the issue of what people miss out on when it is a daily

  • maverickkmaxcy Maverick Maxcy (@maverickkmaxcy) reported

    @TESOnline what is happening on the Xbox, it says I need to update to the new patch. I did that and when I go to play it says I need to update to the next patch. Can’t play is there a problem???

  • GMctotes Goats_Mctotes (@GMctotes) reported

    @isth3reno1else @TESOnline They didn't extend the Witches event, even though there was probably 3 days where issues were bad enough you couldn't really progress. So I highly doubt they extend this one either.

  • chance_turley Chance Turley (@chance_turley) reported

    @FalloniaNiteowl @TESOnline I'm having the same problem. I was logged in all afyernoon and logged off to eat dinner and when I turned my xbox back on ESO updated and now I'm getting the same message
