Login Error "Unable to initialize connection to steam...." PC NA Server
I logged in just fine earlier tonight but I opted into the Steam Library Beta and now it cannot authenticate through Steam. I opted out of the Beta but I am still getting this error and cannot play.
Me and two of my friends have been dealing with the same issue for hours now. I was able to get in after repeatedly hitting login over and over and over but they never got in. It's extremely frustrating the Dev's haven't acknowledged it.
Same problem here as well. Was working just after the update but now nothing. Will try the "keep spamming the login button til i get in" approach and see if it works for me, lol.
It finally let me in on the first try after playing Terraria for a while. Not sure if that means I got lucky or the issue is solved now. Good luck, guys.
repaired game from inside browser, but I think it was the old 'spam the log in button' that got me in ... out of game now, so lets see when I try and get in later this evening (Australia time)
It appears there was some downtime with Steam last night(9/17/19, around 9:00-11:00 EST), please fully restart Steam and try to open ESO again. If you're still experiencing an issue opening ESO on Steam try the troubleshooting steps here.
