In The Elder Scrolls Online, the PC servers in Europe and North America are currently down for maintenance. A fix for Japanese players is on the way: Patch 4.0.6 is aimed solely at them, as they had serious issues with Summerset.
What’s going on? Players want to explore the Summerset Isles, but the servers of TESO have been offline for maintenance since 10:00 AM. This affects the two PC megaservers of ESO. Players on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can continue to play as normal.
Japanese players hear and see nothing
Why are the servers offline? The background is a critical bug affecting Japanese players. They had neither Japanese text nor audio. Patch 4.0.6 is meant solely to fix their issues. The Elder Scrolls Online is one of the few Western MMORPGs that has made it to Japan. Since summer 2016, players have been able to play The Elder Scrolls Online there.
Will this also fix my problems? No, another update next week is expected to address issues related to Summerset. They promise “general bug fixes”. Currently, some players in ESO are experiencing login issues.
What’s in the new Patch 4.0.6 for The Elder Scrolls Online and how big is it? The new PC patch is approximately 65 MB in size. The patch only contains the fix for Japanese players to receive text and voice outputs in their language.
When will ESO be back up? It is currently unknown when the ESO megaservers for PC will be functional again. However, it should be quick.
Maintenance inconveniently interrupts the exploration of Summerset
How do people like Summerset so far? Quite well. That’s why some are so anxious because they can’t play right now. We addressed the community’s reactions to the new chapter Summerset in this article:
