Unable to initialize the connection with Steam
Hello,
I bought the game 2 years ago on Windows and I would like to play it on my Macbook Pro Retina 15.
I downloaded the game with the link on my account page and installed everything on my mac. But when I launch the game, I see the main menu and after few seconds an alert says something like « Unable to initialize the connection with Steam. Make sure you launch the game through Steam". The problem is I didn’t buy the game on steam but on the Zenimax shop, and apparently the OS X version that you can download from elderscrollsonline.com is a steam version.
I tried to add the game on steam as a non-steam game but it didn’t work (I had the steam Overlay). Any idea?
Thanks.
