Steam Tips

Mitigation to some steam issues on Mac.

Steam webhelper crashing : 

The mitigation at this time is to install Steam in a "new Win 7 64-bit bottle "to regain functionality.

Please make sure it is installed in a new bottle not a the existing Steam bottle.
Note, the games will have to be installed again.

However there is a way to move the games from one bottle to another without going through the reinstall process. Our QA staff pointed this out in the following forum post :

Steam client exhibits black window :
The black window issue can be mitigated within the Steam settings > Interface > uncheck 'enable gpu accelerated rendering',  after this it should prompt to restart steam.

Steam games that use to work won't launch :

This is Catalina/crossover 19.0.2 specific. If the game worked in 19.0.1 but not in 19.0.2, revert to 19.0.1. Here is the link :
