Login Error:
Unable to initialize connection Steam. Please ensure the game was launched through Steam or try again later.
Steam seems to be up, and yes, I did launch it with Steam.Edited by prof_doom on 17 February 2024 22:410 -

WaywardArgonian✭✭✭✭✭Getting the same issue, both PC/EU and PC/NA.

illusiouk✭✭✭Can't log on, same issue. Tried the support page and the offline method. Still no luck.0 -
M1SHAAN✭✭✭✭I also have been having this issue the last ~day or so, I'm on PC NA. However for me it's intermittent and sometimes just trying to log in again fixes the issue.0 -
Jacozilla✭✭✭✭✭None of the support help article fixes this issue - https://help.elderscrollsonline.com/#en/home#home-web-assist
Online, offline, restart steam and entire computer. Reset router, every other online connection works (browser, games, other game networks.
Seems the real issue is with ZoS, not Steam or some connection issue. Proof of this is easy - I have 2nd account that was not purchased through steam, and can manually login just fine (using the standalone, non-steam launcher).
Unfortunately, my primary account via Steam is completely locked out.1 -
snailbrick✭✭✭I'm on NA and having the same problem. I've played for years and never had this message. I haven't made any changes to my pc.

I also launch through steam every time I play.0 -
TagCdog✭✭I'm getting the same Steam connection issue on PC NA. Troubleshooting steps (including repair), PC reboot, etc... have not resolved the issue.0

✭✭✭✭Yep same problem here on PC/NA. Other functions in Steam are working just fine though, seems something's breaking down between them and eso.0 -
ZOS_HadeostrymodGreetings,
After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's about troubleshooting on the PC platform.
Thank you for your understanding

TagCdog✭✭Just posting an update, my Steam worked again last night but I am getting the connection error again. Luckily I have a normal install too and can just switch to that but this seems to be impacting a lot of people.0
