If you're getting "Initialization failed", try running EP installer.

just delete everything you've downloaded so far and start over. Try method 2 and if it doesn't work you try method 3 like it says

Initialization failed typically signals that DirectPlay isn't installed.
Here's what may work for you, though on some versions of Windows the option isn't available: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 94#1403283
