New Steam Install Not Launching ESO

spartan62893_ESO · July 29

When I attempt to launch ESO through Steam, I receive the message "An error occurred while launching this game : Missing game executable - C:\Steam\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\zosSteamStarter.exe." I can confirm that zosSteamStarter.exe is in the specified folder, and does launch the launcher when clicked on, though at the logon screen it is unable to initialize the connection with Steam.

I solved the problem by realizing I'm an idiot. I renamed the common folder unintentionally
