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.

IdabriusSoul ShrivenI solved this by opting in to the mac steam beta. The game runs fine through steam now; there was a problem with a steam update a while back that now appears to be fixed.0
