Online:Patch/2.3.3

Released on February 22 2016.

The Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited v2.3.3 is an incremental patch for the PTS that continues to address issues with the Thieves Guild DLC game pack including various quests, art, gameplay, and the Maw of Lorkhaj Trial. In addition, we've continued to fix issues in the base game patch relating to combat, itemization, UI, and more. In this patch, we'll be closing the Azura's Star campaign, and enabling the Haderus campaign which will allow Champion System abilities to be used.

The size of this patch is approximately 270MB.

Known IssuesEdit

General

• Please continue to refrain from using the 64-bit client for Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 while we continue to work on outstanding issues with those clients.

Thieves Guild

• The Clemency passive can now be used when accosted by guards. Unfortunately, the guards haven't quite gotten the idea yet, and will attempt to beat you into submission in response.
• The Long Game: Group members may not be able to go through some doors if the player character with this quest has already gone through. This can be worked around by going back out, and allowing your group to enter first.
