Hello,
the message means that a Steam component in Launcher can't connect to Steam. It should not prevent you from playing the game, but there is also a chance that whatever is blocking the connection between Launcher and Steam is also blocking the game itself from connecting to Steam. We know that some software can block this, e.g. Comodo Firewall was known to do this. If this is recent issue, it might be caused by a program your installed recently or was updated recently or it can solved by restarting the computer.

Also the message about connecting Steam and Bohemia accounts displays because Launcher can't correctly identify your Steam account (because this information is also provided by Steam, which is not available) and thus can't correctly check whether accounts are connected or not. But that doesn't have any effect on your ability to play the game, it only prevents Launcher from displaying your Units.
