steamwebhelper not responding
hello, is there any way to get steam running on heroic? this is the only launcher i've had this problem on, which is it saying steamwebhelper is not responding. any help is appreciated, thanks
Pyou reaaaaally shouldnt be installing steam on heroic, there are other options for that like crossover or whisky
Iif you really need windows steam on your mac for free, use whisky, unfortunetely development recently stopped for it BUT if you check out MiketheTech on youtube he shows you a way to fix this issue
Lthe issue for me is that heroic is the best free option for running games i’ve found, but the game i’m trying to play needs steam open in the background to connect to the servers
Land correct me if i’m wrong but it couldn’t communicate with mac steam/wine steam if the exe was launched with heroic
Pwhat game is this?
DThe thing is, heroic does not run steam or steam games.. what store did you get this game on?
Li had downloaded the game from steam on wine and ran the exe in heroic
Lschedule 1 is one example
Pyeah nah heroic isn’t really the best thing to run steam in a wineprefix with
Pyou’d be better off using whisky or crossover
Lyeah i tried crossover the other day and it worked flawlessly but im not sure i want to pay the $99 or whatever it is/reset the trial every 14 days
Lappreicate your help tho thanks a lot
Dyou need to run the game from steam you cant run it in heroic as heroic doesnt have a backend for steam games
Dsteam drm and other services are usually required for steam games
PI mean you pay the 99 once and you keep the same thing “forever” (in theory)
PI picked up my sub during Black Friday for some obscene price (like 20 bucks)
Dtbh crossover is one of the best ways to play windows games on mac
Aif you don't want to pay crossover and you are on an M chip, you can try the build from this PR https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/pull/4462/files that uses an older version of Steam that works with GPTK
Anote that it will ignore all updates so you won't get any fixes or new features of steam
Asame integration kinda works with wine-crossover but when I tested it kept getting stuck installing games so it was not useful
Athe official up-to-date steam client only works with the paid version of crossover
the outdated steam files that you can get with that in-development pull request only seem to work with GPTK (so if you are on intel mac, your only option will be paying for crossover)

Ato clarify, the build from that PR will install steam, then you'll have to open steam and install the games there, the games won't show up in heroic

Pkegworks is great because gcenx has done a ton for the mac gaming community
Pdid you have msync turned on?
AI don't remember now but I think I did
Pmsync has been known to stop steam from installing games for genuinely no good reason LOL
Pmost people are told to turn it off while installing and then turn it back on when running the game
