Steam for Mac Client Available for Download, Service Not Yet Active

[/dev/toaster]

My download finished but sadly it says the game is unavailable at this time. Was hoping to play it at lunch, we'll see

Steam is not yet released for the mac and if you check finder you will see that the games being downloaded are the PC versions.

Probably best to wait until this is officially released before checking log files and downloading games.

But what the hell do I know.

Where are the downloaded games stored?

 

[Octobot]

Why aren't the game executables in /Library/Application Support?

check..
user/documents ??? (odd place)

 

[azazel-]

In the 'Steam Content' folder within your Documents folder

World of GOO

Downloaded and running fine on my hackintosh dell mini.

 

[PacMookBro]

I can confirm that "Unauthorized" dialogue is gone when Steam is fired up. Not to worry... It's coming soon.

 

[bchreng]

check..
user/documents ??? (odd place)

Yep, they're in a folder called 'Steam Content' in the Documents folder.

/Users/********/Documents/Steam Content/Common

Why is it a pain? Its not like you NEED it right away....

Because when something is released, I expect for it to work correctly. Something can be a pain whether or not I have a need for it at the current time.

I think the point he was trying to make is that it has not yet been released fully.

I so want to use Steam but I think waiting is the best policy on this one.

Wow. Welcome to the real world, kid.

But its not released yet ...

Yep, they're in a folder called 'Steam Content' in the Documents folder.

/Users/********/Documents/Steam Content/Common

I wonder how other local users with Steam accounts will be treated. What happens when someone else logs in and wants to play a Steam game that's already installed but with the executables in another user's ~/Documents?

You ever heard of the iPhone?

How about MobileMe?

Yea.

So Braid runs fine, although my save apparently doesn't transfer.

However, Portal says "Unsupported Video Card" and then lists my driver details as "unknown" version "0.0.0.0"

I have a Mac Pro with the 7300 GT.

I know it isn't a great "modern" graphics card, but it runs Portal and TF2 and HL2:EP2 just fine on this machine when running under bootcamp even at 1600x1200.

What gives?

 

[smirk]

Hey, about 1/3 of the time when quitting Steam it crashes. Is anyone else experiencing this?

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Mine is working!

Didn't work, so I tried to restart the client. It didn't require the work around to launch ... however, portal says the servers are too busy and TF2 disappeared LOL.

 

[LoganT]

TF2 is not even showing up in my game list. I got it through Orange Box, but I also received Portal and Half Life 2 through Orange Box, and it's showing up. But Portal is downloading extremely fast for me, 1.8 MB/s

 

[iccb]

Steam service now activated!
Just waiting for TF2...

SO happy that this is finaly true!

 

[/dev/toaster]

Ah, now its downloading an update!

 

[Michaelgtrusa]

Mine's good.
