Elder Scrolls Online Update 7.0.8 Patch Notes

With the recent major update 7.0.7 to Elder Scrolls Online came some new features, and some new bugs, but these issues are being addressed with a smaller update 7.0.8 today, and we’ve got the update 7.0.8 patch notes. This patch is exclusive to PC/Mac, and is approximately 102 MB in size.

This patch is primarily geared toward fixing issues associated with the new Blackwood DLC quests, some crashing problems, UI issues, and a few other minor miscellaneous issues with the recent update. This patch is free to download for all players, and unfortunately does not bring any new features. This is purely a big fix update.
