Guys I found a way around the mandatory re-downloading of the whole client. What I did was cancel the download. Then I went to the ESO.exe file NOT the client and launched it from there and it works. As for what to do about the launcher and future updates, im not sure... but maybe someone can find out and post it on here?
Again the steps I took were:
Cancel the download of the 23 gb by going to 'game options' under the NEWS section in the launcher and clicking CANCEL. Then CLOSE the launcher
Click on your game Icon and right click to the find the root directory of the game find the ESO.exe file and double click.
It worked for me and I hope it does too.. Hopefully that helps yall out. Agan please post workaround or solution for the launcher issue.
That would work in some cases but if the launcher deleted your install directory, like it has for many, that won't work. All you can do is re-install... thank god I have a 6 MB/s DL speed.

Dude, that only works if the eso.exe file still exists and the whole directory wasn't wiped by the launcher.
