Hello

I have this weird "bug" where I'm playing a game (Dark Souls 3) and once I finish I just quit the game. Whenever I want to go back playing, I have to reboot my Mac in order for it to open, otherwise it won't. Tried to force quit all related apps (steam.exe, steamwebhelp.exe, darksouls3.exe) and it won't work. trying to force quit the program through normal means (close button) doesn't work either.

Have you tried to FORCE QUIT APPLICATION ?

"Press these three keys together: Option (or Alt), Command, Esc (Escape). Or choose Force Quit from the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen. "

Very similar to task manager on windows. Pick application would you desire to end process and press the return button.

You do not have to restart the computer every time.

Got the same issue!
M3 max 36gb/1tb ssd, MacOS 14.1.
Sometime steam just stuck, after using Force Quit and kill all reliable apps, and crossover, after re-run crossover it just won't open steam again, and have to reboot Mac, that's the only way.

Have you tried logging out of your Mac user account and then logging back in, instead of restarting?

I know that still isn't a solution, but if that does the job it's slightly better than having to restart the Mac and might provide an additional clue for Codeweavers as they investigate this issue. Which they'll do if you submit a help ticket:

Can Confirm. I just tried logging out and back in and it did not solve the issue. Needed to restart machine for diablo 4 to run properly again.
