Error 206

[Kaius]

Did anyone else get "error 206 -Patchmanifesterror_unzip failed" after the latest patch?

I tried to fix it and looked at Zenimax support guide on this, did not help. Neither did uninstall & installing the game again. Still Error 206 when i try to lauch the game...

Any advice?

same problem here!

I use a Mac OSX and I have this particular error too (206)

Unfortunately I couldn't fix this yet, but at least i'm not the only one apparently;

I also asked in this forum, but no answer

Did you try to delete the ProgramData folder?

I've just come across same problem. Advice from ESO support not particularly helpful if
you don't have much knowledge of computer systems.Will try Trigger's suggestion

[Bhodi]

Tried everything I could find regarding this problem and launcher still gives the same error :/

I must say that I find it incredible that it is necesay to understand the locastion of files, which files are to be looked a and what to do then. I bought the game. I know nothing about how computers function. It should surely be possible for game developers to patch games in a way the playerrs do not need technical knowledge to play

I also have same problem I deleted laucher, didnt help. Deleted the game and that didnt help either. Let us now the solution to this problem.

Ya, O.K. But, what do you do when you get a notice from ZOS saying "You are running a TRIAL version, buy the game". I have spent over $140 on the game. I have PROOF. Steam receipt and credit card company router number. They still haven't accepted my PROOF !!!! I only played for 2 weeks. So, I am requesting a full charge back. If I don't get it, I'll file a claim with Small Claims Court. I'm 72 years old and a true gamer, but I have time to take ZOS to court. Stay tuned.

Enjoy your Steam ban, maybe a time out will do you some good.

None of these work, neither does the pinned posts info. I have uninstalled and re-installed the game, i even removed manually all the files & registryentries etc i could find. And still i get the same error.

I've found out that my virus software blocked all the patches, but I just can't find out how to give permission to allow them. I'm working on it

[Bhodi]

I fixed it on my pc. I downloaded the patchmanifest myself (from this link: http://patcher.elderscrollsonline.com/products/ZosSteamStarter/ZosSteamStarter.patchmanifest) and put the file in the steamapps/common/ZenimaxOnline folder. When I started the launcher it was downloading and patching all kinds of stuff but after that was done it worked again :D.

[artto3]

I just got this problem fixed.
Go to http://launcher.bethesda.net/ESO/depot.patchmanifest and it should download depot.patchmanifest file. If this does not happen it means that your antivirus blocks the site as harmful and you must allow the site on your antivirus settings. Hope this helps!

Then do not buy pc games, consoles and console games are there for people who just want to pop the game disc in and press play.

However, pc hardware/software/games require a little more technical knowledge to use, especially when you come accross problems which in pc world is often.

Thanks Artto3 and Bhodi! :) I will try this. All i have to do is wait for the game to download as i just uninstalled it again...
