This time I got a proper launcher screen, but it gave me some notification that some file cannot be found, and soon after that, error 102 and told me to contact customer service. :/

I googled how to fix error 102, and using the repair tool and rebooting my internet seem to be possible fixes... Currently running the repair program, but I have a bad feeling about this.
crap. I should have mentioned. steam version occasionally runs into issues. I forgot because I got lucky and didn't run into any with my extra copy, but issues do happen. something about the way steam copy changes the launcher to not give you extra login screen or something - basically its steam DRM issues. (apparently, occasionally there are also steam issues with subscription or at least so I've heard, I don't have active subscription on my extra copy, just my primary account)

getting a download directly from ZoS is a MUCH MUCH better idea. https://account.elderscrollsonline.com/ should let you create an account and download directly.

Damn, I wish you had mentioned it sooner I just thought "okay, it's on Steam, I have Steam, that should be an easy way to get it!" However I got it working properly eventually, so I hope those issues are in the past now!

glad you got it working! hope you enjoy it

something else to note about steam version and that one caught me by surprise too. it doesn't create an account with ZoS. it just lets you log into the game via steam and make added purchases via steam, but its still all steam account only. beats me if I remember how I created separate account for that version, I don't really use it much - mostly sticking to my original copy that I bought before steam version was even a thing :P

When I first played it, I tried it during one of their free week promotions (non-steam version). Then steam had it on sale and I just linked the "trial" account over to steam. I hate playing through steam, though, because I have frequent latency issues that aren't because of the game itself. If I go back to it, I'll have to check on how to bypass logging in through steam to get a better connection.
