CrossOver Support - Community Forums

Crossover (and Steam) used to work perfectly fine on my iMac a couple months ago. But then I went for vacation, and haven't been able to play. So when I try to re-install Crossover now, and follow all the necessary steps to download Steam, it downloads everything it needs to, then gets stuck. I even tried directly downloading the steam.msi installer, but I can't seem to find it on the Steam website (NOOB ALERT). I downloaded Steam off the website, and the platform worked fine, but it wouldn't load any games since I think it needs the Crossover application to run .exe files? I don't know.

I really just want to play L4D and L4D2, it's the only reason I ever open Crossover Games, and now I can't even do that. I'm not a gamer or a computer geek, so I apologize in advance if the answer is staring me right in the face. I've re-installed SO MANY TIMES now, and it just keeps getting stuck at the same point. I'm so frustrated...

I hope someone can help me out. I really need to play!!!

Hi,

It sounds like you've downloaded the Mac port of the Steam client?
I am really unsure, but I do thin there's some contention between to
two Steam versions if they're both installed...I believe that's in
the C4 forums for Steam....see;

If you don't find your answer there, ask for help in that forum - more
Mac users who have Steam will see your posting and be in a position to
help you. It's a bit strange Steam won't install for you though...umm..
..which version of Crossover are you using?

Cheers!
