Despite that I am opening the game through Steam, I am getting the error message "Unable to initialize connection to Steam. Please ensure the game was launched through Steam or try again later."
The game worked fine before the expansion. I took a hiatus for a bit and came back after the release of the new expansion, and now I'm seeing this error. I have never seen this error before. I've tried the troubleshooting steps and so far it has not worked. Anyone else having issues with this? Or is there anyone who can share their wisdom with me if they solved a similar problem?
UPDATE: I think found a fix.
Apparently logging out of Steam and back in worked. Restarting my PC didn't do anything because it would automatically remember my PC and login upon opening the application.
When I logged out and back in, and detected my computer as another PC, despite it being the same PC. I went through the authentication steps to log in to Steam, and now I can log in to ESO just fine (even when it isn't in admin).
I hope this helps anyone else who runs into this problem.
UPDATE 2: The fix I found didn't stick. The problem returned.
