Automated Steam install fails

[jimjam-slam]

Hi there! Orion looks fantastic!

I've installed the Sonoma beta and installed the Game Porting Toolkit.

When I run Orion, it first asks for my x64 homebrew path, then my Wine prefix (which I've set to ~/macgmaing.

It then asks if I'd like to install Steam. if I opt in, it fails, saying System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/Users/rensa/drive_c/SteamSetup.exe'.

I'm surprised to see this, as I expected it would look in /Users/rensa/macgaming, not /Users/rensa directly. I can confirm I've set up a prefix in ~/macgaming, and there is a populated drive_c folder in there (although it doesn't have a SteamSetup.exe—do I need to download that myself?).

Here's the full output:

~ orion

This is on me, it looks like I didn't properly build out the path in the download logic - will push a fix.

[jimjam-slam]

Thanks a bunch for taking a look—I'll keep an eye out!

[andrewmd5]

fixed in the latest release; confirm when you get a chance.

[jimjam-slam]

Tested! It's correctly installing Steam now :blush:

I am having a separate problem—namely that although Steam appears to launch in the Dock (it has a Steam icon but says 'wine64-preloader') when I select it in orion, I'm not seeing any actual window open.

Should I open a separate issue for this?

[jimjam-slam]

(I should note that I did see the Steam update screen downloading a Steam update first. It just seems to be the main Steam screen that isn't appearing.)

[andrewmd5]

I think this may be related to the new Steam UI which is unfortunate timing. I’ll debug.

[andrewmd5]

fixed in v0.0.7

Thanks for continuing to work n this! Unfortunately, I'm still not able to boot Steam on 0.0.7.

I also tried wiping the virtual C: drive and going through the process again, but I get the same result.

Does Steam work if you install it outside of the automated way orion does it?

[jimjam-slam]

I'm not 100% sure how to launch something with the toolkit myself. I'm trying the following:

/usr/local/Cellar/game-porting-toolkit/1.0/lib/gameportingtoolkit ~/macgaming 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steam.exe'

Error: No available formula with the name "game-porting-toolkit".

One possible complication here is that I am running x64 homebrew concurrently (using the alias brow) with the native arm64 version of homebrew. I installed the game-porting-toolkit using x64 homebrew.

I did also supply the x64 homebrew path to orion originally (it hasn't re-prompted since I updated, so I assume that path is stored elsewhere).

[jimjam-slam]

Oh, scratch that! it looks like it's working :blush:

It could be because there was another Steam update—or it could be that I was overly cautious and never tried to launch in retina mode 😅

Thanks for your patience and for a great tool!
