Same here, macOS 14.3.1 on 14-inch m1 max, Whisky version 2.2.3 from homebrew. When I ran through cmd, I noticed this in the logs, seems to be where it's dying (sorry for text image, wasn't sure how to get text out of the windows command prompt)
It seems like something is running steamwebhelper.exe
with a -n
flag and it doesn't like it for some reason, maybe? That could be a red herring, though, it could be trying to interpolate an environment var that's missing or similar.
Also: I seem to be able to open Steam once after installation. Once I close Steam, I am no longer able to open it on the same bottle.
I'm not sure if this will help but I noticed that whenever I have dwrite in my library disabled, steam won't run, but if I remove it from my library steam launches just fine. Hope that helps but I don't really have a clue about coding or wine but I wanted to share this just in case it could work for you
This is what happened to me, thank you for your answer dwrite is needed to play Warframe but steam would load with it so I just make another wine profile for the launcher.exe of warframe and everything works fine
For those who need it, you can make this change by adding the argument "-no-dwrite" to your Steam executable.
