For the error "Unable to initialize connection to Steam." you should try the following steps to resolve the error message:

1. Make sure Steam is in "Online" mode.
2. Completely exit out of Steam by clicking the "Exit" option in your Steam launcher.
3. Close all programs related to The Elder Scrolls game.
4. Once the game and Steam is entirely closed, relaunch Steam and ensure you are launching The Elder Scrolls Online by hitting "Play" in the Steam launcher.

If the message persists after the above:

1. Close out Steam and ESO again.
2. Locate the Steam icon on your desktop and right click on the icon and go to "Properties" and under the Compatibility tab, set it to "Run as Administrator" and hit apply.
3. Restart your computer.
4. Once your computer has rebooted, reopen Steam and launch the game again.
