Failed to Initialize steam

[PatNoodle]

Any help?

Same issue. If you do some research you will see you get pointed to the following options, none of which worked for me but may work for you.

- Run Steam as Administrator
- Run the game itself as admin located in Steam\steamapps\common\PUBG\TslGame\Binaries\Win64 (This option made me not get the Steam has failed to Initialize error, but instead the game froze on the splash loading screen)
- Delete ClientRegistry.blob from Steam directory
- Follow all possible steps on this list: http://forums.playbattlegrounds.com/topic/4469-connectionsteamlaunch-issues-a-comprehensive-guide/
- Start BattleEye service manually

As it stands, I haven't gotten the game to connect yet. I am assuming this is just an early access launch issue.

I just fully exited steam the Bootstrap thing then restarted worked fine.

I had this problem just now, and fixed it by ticking off the "start as administrator " So try to turn that off

[Spec]

what do you mean by ticking off where?

Reinstalling C++ in the game folder fixed it for me.

I have also tried everyone from the main forums and various other locations and can not solve the error

This is extremely disappointing, as i have yet to be even able to try the game

So I ended up having to have the steam client open and then open task manager. I then force quit the steam client and then opened up the game and it worked.
