[Bug]: Steam.exe won't run when clicking 'Run'

[JonasHuygh]

Description

Hello,

I think this issue/bug might have already been raised but I have not found out from anywhere how to exactly fix this issue and would be grateful for explained help.

My end goal is to try and play Lethal Company using Whisky but after installing Whisky and creating a bottle, and then trying to run the steam.exe file, it doesn't seem to do anything at all. So whenever I click on the 'Run' button on the bottom right, head to my downloads folder and then try to open the steam.exe, it shows a loading icon on the bottom right for like 5-6 seconds and then nothing happens. Can someone please tell me how to fix this?

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Whisky
2. Create a bottle
3. Try and open Steam.exe with no success

Expected behaviour

I expect the steam.exe file to load in which should prompt a download screen as seen on various Youtube videos and tutorials.

What version of Whisky are you using?

What version of macOS are you using?

Sonoma (macOS 14)

I have the same problem, tried to create bottles on different drives but the problem stays the same.

For me the Build Version of Windows 10 also doesn't appear (the same circle thing) and the bottle contains only the folders dosdevices & drive_c (with drive_c only having a windows folder)

I'm on 14.2.1 using Whiskey 2.2.3 (36)

/ Updated to Sonoma 14.3 but the issue still persists. / I tried some older versions of Whiskey 2.2.0 & 2.1.3 - same problem.

Screenshot of how the bottle content looks like, which I think differs from any guide I've seen so far.

I have an existing steam whisky that works, looks like main difference is that I'm being a bum no updating my macOS and the WINEDLLOVERRIDES = "dxgi,d3d9,d3d10core,d3d11=b"; I manually set (although the code should load that per https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/blob/af7bf8b8f953b8ff6d96e5718ca93c4ab585419b/WhiskyKit/Sources/WhiskyKit/Whisky/Program.swift#L82 )

I had the same issue. I found a workaround: you may see the bottle you want in the drop down menu before clicking run, but just open up the drop down and re-click the bottle you'd like to install steam on, and the run button works.

[electrovir]

I have an existing install, haven't updated macOS or Whisky recently and it suddenly stopped working within the past couple days.

[electrovir]

I was able to get mine working by creating a new bottle and installing steam fresh within that bottle.

[Lynden-Sylvester]

I am also encountering this issue

I'm running:

Whiskey v1.3.2

MacOS 14.1

[EMP-Playz]

I have the issue as well and the discord for support is dead :L

[IsaacMarovitz]

This issue has grown nebulous in scope. If you're having specific issues with the latest versions of Whisky and WhiskyWine, then feel free to make a new one.

For everyone that can't run steam because the botton won't work:

All you have to do is uninstall complete Whisky app from ur Mac and also Steam. After that install whisky and the steam.exe and do the process, it should work.

To uninstall correctly both apps use: AppCleaner that will eliminate all the files related to these apps.
