Once you've found the Steam library, the AddOns folder will be at the following As an example, I installed ESO into a Steam library that was located at ~/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/306130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/My Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOnsīut if you're like me and installed ESO into a different Steam library (or the above didn't work for you), then you first need to If you downloaded Elder Scrolls Online into the default library that comes with Steam, then your AddOns folder will probably Since you want to install add-ons manually, I'll quickly show you how to find your AddOns folder: Here's a command I used to find out where the heck is ESO looking for settings (type in terminal while ESO client is running):Īnother "HowTo find my ESO AddOns folder at Linux": The client then falls back to using "ESO_BUILD_BRANCH" as the name of the settings directory. version file via relative path, which obviously fails if you run eso from any otherĭirectory using command like `WINEPREFIX="$HOME/games/ESO" wine "c:/ZOS/ESO/game/client/eso64.exe"`. Problem is this guess fails if the current working directory is not. Upon startup, the client wants to decide whether it's "live" or "pts" (i.e. You can check and possibly fix where "My Documents" point to in winecfg (tab Desktop Integration), or manuallyĬheck the symlink in "$WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/" (then ESO put it's stuff directly in "$HOME/Elder Scrolls Online").

Some older Wine versions pointed "My Documents" to "$HOME" instead, which was quite surprising and inconvenient Usually it's "$HOME/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/live/AddOns",īut that's assuming Wine links the Windows' "My Documents" folder to "$HOME/Documents". If you play ESO under WINE within a unix system the AddOns folders could be located here: You can then right click the empty background and select Properties to find the full path. A new explorer window should open for the correct Documents folder. Just open the start menu, paste the above into the textbox and press enter. In order to easily find it, you can use the following command:Įxplorer /e,:: Users and some programs like OneDrive sometimes move the Documents folder to a different path, which means on some machines it won't be found in the Profile folder, but somewhere else.

They can usually be found in %userprofile%\Documents\Elder Scrolls Online\ for Windows users and in ~/Documents/Elder Scrolls Online/ for OS X users. The Live Megaservers (NA and EU) and the Public Test Server use separate folders called " live" and " pts" respectively.

The user folder is the place where all machine local data gets stored.
