Zenimax investigating on Steam
What are the developers doing? Since the regular PC version of The Elder Scrolls Online is still functioning optimally, the problem must lie with Steam.
Therefore, the developers are currently in intensive contact with Valve’s distribution platform. Together, they aim to find a solution for the login dilemma and fix it as soon as possible.

To appease players’ anger a bit, the developers at Zenimax have promised compensation. All Steam users of The Elder Scrolls Online will receive a free loot box.
There will be an additional free crown crate from the Psijik Vault sent to you in-game when the next PC update for The Elder Scrolls Online goes live. According to Zenimax, that should be on July 2.
