I've run into a similar issue, however it seems it isn't related to force closing steam as for me it started yesterday and it persists even after deleting the bottle and installing a fresh bottle with steam.
My behavior is:
My findings are that steam is running smh, but no window is bein shown for some weird bug.
BTW, I'm running it on a MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2021 (M1 Pro) 16GB on Sonoma 14.5
I've run into a similar issue, however it seems it isn't related to force closing steam as for me it started yesterday and it persists even after deleting the bottle and installing a fresh bottle with steam.
My behavior is:
- install and NOT checking the box "Run steam" on the installer
- open the "Steam" shortcut created in Whisky
- Steam Updater opens and starts updating,
- Updater reaches 100% and closes
- Steam never opens (I left it open for hours to see if anything happened)
- Force close all wine processes via "Activity Monitor"
- Open Steam via Whisky again
- Updater shows for a split second and closes
- The icon for Steam with "wine64-preloader" title shows in the Dock
- No Steam window ever shows

Likewise, I also started experiencing issue since yesterday, after updating to dependency for whiskywine. I'm also experiencing issue with downloading game.
Maybe that's a Sonoma 14.5 issue? It seems different from the issue with miroring monitors (https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/922).
OTOH, upon searching, there are many similar-looking issues:
https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/644 https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/584 https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/836
Some of them have suggestions for Steam command-line options that help some people.
It's not a Sonoma 14.5 ussye I have been on 14.5 for a while and it's been working fine. Mirroring was always an issue prior to 14.5 btw :(
And no those issues were not applicable in my instance (as in, I experienced them in the past, and was able to fix or bypass them eventually)
Yeah, I dug through the issues mentioned and tried various combinations of the cli flags with no luck. Also I don't have Screen mirroring, just had an external monitor, tried unplugging it with no effect also.
Edit: I also tried enabling DXVK and no effect either. ~I only used Whisky for Steam and while it worked it was awesome, the perfect solution π , but now all my dreams crumbled to the ground π~
I have my homebrew to auto update packages so I don't know if it was steam or Whisky that was updated, but for me I was able to setup a new bottle today which worked.
I'm sad I couldn't help more than this, but now I'm unable to reproduce the bug, I hope the behaviours I described can help isolate the issue.

are you using whisky or apple's GPTK with CLI scripts? cause I'm not sure if homebrew has any effect on whisky (last time I checked GPTK hasn't been updated)
I'm using whisky indeed, GPTK is being managed by whisky. I believe steam got an update that made it work, because before I deleted the bottle and tried again, I started the broken bottle and the update dialog downloaded something and the UI had showed up for an instant (which didn't happened before). As it was taking some time (more than 5 min) I stopped everything, deleted the bottle and created another, then everything worked.
False alarm. The bug just occurred again, can't launch it anymore. No clue what's happening...
Could being on the "Families Beta" branch have anything to do with this? Because I am...

Same issue here on an macbook pro m2 with MacOS Sonoma 14.0 Every time I have to create a new bottle with a fresh steam install and download the games again. Then everything works for one session. When I close and try again I just get the steam update window and thats it.
@IsaacMarovitz any updates here? this is a decently pressing bug.
Description
Whisky can't open steam anymore, however, it can open other programs. If I remember correctly this started when I force quit steam, not sure if this is what caused it. I also tried opening the program with another bottle.
Steps to reproduce
Launch steam or (optional) Force quit steam
Expected behaviour
Open the App
