WIndows Insider 26016 and Elder Scrolls Online Launcher
The latest build 26040 fixes problems with running Elder Scrolls Online. The game client (launcher) runs it, and the game itself - from what I can see - works properly. Congratulations on accurately targeting the source of the error.
So far, all responses to reports end with advice to remove the insider versions of Windows. This was, among other things, the position presented to me by Bethesda support owned by Microsoft.
This is paranoia. In official communications, you call on people to report situations that you have not done anything about for almost a month, and your representatives suggest leaving the insider program.
With all due respect, I think that if the problem concerns YOUR game, for which you also charge a subscription, it should look completely different. You should URGENTLY ask the programmers to stand up and solve this problem, especially since it coincides with the Christmas period and its a money for you. And if someone does not understand the subliminal message, let me put it simply - Windows was successful based on, among others, wide game support, so since subsequent Canary compilations are causing more and more problems with this, it seems to me that you should skip the new bells and whistles and focus on games problem more seriously.
You have to wonder if either company is even bothering to look into why eso64.exe is dying.
- I think we expect too much. After reporting the described problem, I received a reply telling me to skip the insider version and go back to regular Windows. What's the point of this whole program if a report generates such a "solution".
- Yeah, I got the same "advice". Of course, if this version of Windows ever goes live then ZOS will have to fix it. FWIW, I saw some speculation that the issue is with the anticheat stuff in the game. Not that that helps us much.
