Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Failed To Initialize Steam -

I kept getting the “Failed to initialize Steam” error on launch. Here’s what actually worked for me after 2 hours of trying.

The game needs permission to talk to Steam. Right-click Steam.exe → Properties → Compatibility → Check Run this program as an administrator → Apply. Restart Steam and launch the game. shadow of the tomb raider failed to initialize steam
