The forum

Also the STORE and COMMUNITY and SUPPORT in Steam dont work.

Clickable but the never pop up.

LIBRARY and Friends menu works though.

Still no multiplayer ability.

In PlayOnMac wine versions manager I have moved 2.12 from left to right to install.

Should 1.7.53-steam_crossoverhack remain? It shows as locked.

I GOT IT TO WORK ON MAC FINALLY ! T_T I'M SO HAPPPPPPPPPY. Took some time but I finally figured out how to make steam run from PlayOnMac, jesus.... And it was so much simpler then I thought too.

Did you follow the instructions here? Or did something else?

Something kind of similiar, so I did download wine staging 2.12 and you should have it so, when you open that terminal and type "wine --version" to make sure your computer is running wine 2.12 staging.

ONCE you get that part down, Install a clean version of steam from playonmac. I didn't open steam after I installed it (not that I think it matters).

Once you download steam in the playonmac store, now is the time where you can input your wine addons like flash player or whatever you added prior. 

NOW What I did, was go to my applications (where my wine staging 2.12 was downloaded, yours might be different) I right clicked the wine staging 2.12 application and clicked show package contents (in it you should see a file that says contents) 

WATCH OUT HERE, FOR ME I USED CONTENTS HOWEVER, SOME people stated they went into the staging 2.12 package contents more and copied the file "wine" (I'm not sure which will work for you, try contents first and if doesn't work try wine folder, theres a way to test if it works, read lower and you will see it) 

Right click that file and click Copy "Contents or Wine" Once you have it copied, then you find where you have playonmac downloaded (mine was again in the applications) Right click play on mac, click on show package contents (Again you should see a file named contents)

Double click the file named contents in the playonmac folder, then click on Resources, after resources, double click on unix. HERE: You will see a couple different files one being titled "wine" 

This is where you are going to paste the file you copied (This is how to test which file it is that works for you Contents or Merge because the copied file will say 3 choices: "STOP, (SOMETHING ELSE DON'T REMEMBER), AND MERGE" Click on Merge. (what its doing is updating the old wine files with the new staging 2.12 files). 

Once you finish merging the files, go to back to playonmac, highlight the steam file click configure, go the wine tab click "Configure wine" (don't know how necessary that is, but I did it). Then go to the general tab change the wine version being used to "System" (since you merged/updated the files it should work). Now once you have it set to system exit out of the configure page and open steam like you normally would (IT WILL UPDATE THE STEAM FILE AND THEN DISCONNECT YOU) Click on steam 1ce more after you're disconnected from the update of steam and boom it should bring you online and work, running it right from the playonmac source.

DISCLAIMER: THIS WORKED FOR ME ! Hopefully, it works for you guys as well. Good luck friends.

Oh God! Finally! This worked for me! Thank you.

I was able to open the SteamSetup.exe file with Wine Staging (2.12) and I made it at least to the login screen, but then when i signed in it quit.... I don't know how to get it to run without PlayOnMac until they get their act together.

Roasts, thank you very much.

Are you able to join a multiplayer game?

Followed your steps, but still cant join multiplayer in AOE or Supreme Commander 2.

Thanks.

Is this something you recommend we try? Could you provide us with the steps?

I had this issue and the only solution I could find was signing up for a free trial of some crossover software to get it running. And even then I had to change the names of the launch files. Hopefully there's a POM update in the works and it will show up before the trial ends. -.-'

 

The steps provided by BridgetLeann worked for me but every time I try and join a game from the lobby browser, it just stays on the loading screen that says to press escape if you haven't joined in 15 seconds. 

If anyone has discovered a way past this issue, please let me know.

Exact same issue here. Anyone has a solution D: ?

Wine staging 2.12 is now available directly inside PoM. Feel free to try it and send feedbakcs

A much easier fix is to right click Configure in PoM and install the new Wine version (2.12 staging). You might have to reconfigure wine to choose Windows 7 again, as Win XP seems to be the default. This made the Steam updates run automatically and Steam is running. However, I doubt the multiplayer on AoE will work now either, will update after I reinstall AoE.

Used wine 2.12 staging from PlayOnMac, it works for steam&AoE2 HD! but multiplayer still freeze at joining.

Edited by theoldrepublic

Unfortunately I'm not very tech savvy and I gave up trying to make steam work with 2.12 wine staging. 

Edit: used 2.12 staging and im currently on steam. waiting for aoe2 to download

Update:  Steam works. Age of Empiers II works too. Multiyplayer does not work, however.

Edited by JRAlonso

Having same issue, even after using the update Wine Version in PlayOnMac (2.12 staging and 2.12 fix). Steam runs but multiplayer lobbies do not.
 

Yup, it worked with 2.12-staging, but multiplayer not working :(

i have been having troubles with wine 2.12. Steam crashes at start. I tried to reinstall it and i tried the coping and paste the contents folder method but for nothing, steam still wont start and i hope someone could help me with another solution

Quick question - how do I get Wine 2.12 (Staging) inside PlayOnMac? I can't figure it out, I've got 2.12 but not the staging.

^Ignore, found it. 

So, I've reinstalled everything and used 2.12 Staging, but now Steam opens but the fonts are just rectangles... any solutions? 

You need Microsoft fonts, think there's a post about that further up in this thread. Try uninstalling Steam and reinstalling it in PlayOnMac, using 2.12 Staging (in configure Wine versions)...
