Help Steam Download MAC M2
Cannot get Hollow Knight to fully download on my Mac M2. I’m not able to understand what’s wrong and why I keep redownloading and it says corrupt download. It goes up to 99% and then just pauses.

Why dont you use native MacOS Steam client?
Game has native Mac build there
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
Wait like download that one?

Install Steam feature in Heroic installs Windows Steam to give access to Windows only games on Mac

Is there a way you can explain me better I’m really sorry

This is what is showing up on my end

Now read what i wrote above.
That is not the one you should use normally.

You go here
Download MacOS installer
And use this to play MacOS native titles
Which both Hollow Knight and Silksong are
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
Yeah but it kinda overheats so it’s better for me this way right?
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
How something not working is better for you?

I want to launch from heroic it seems to launch other games fine but whenever downloads are going over 1000 mb can’t seem to download fully
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
Yes, that feature ( Steam in Heroic) is broken

Will be removed soon

Oh ok so is there any other way like am I able to play other games like cuphead for example?
I’m talking about higher gb windows games to download
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
Cuphead also has MacOS build
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
Ok what about Peak?
Am I still able to run through heroic launcher?

The main thing is hollow knight to make sure it runs fine
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
itd be much better if youre interested in running windows games on steam
for stuff from epic though, heroic is prolly the best bet
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
Yeah but the steps to do that is quite hideous
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
1-) Im not Google
2-) Peak is Windows only
3-) https://steamdb.info/
You can see which game has mac build or not from here
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
i mean its really not that bad, if you really do feel lost theres a litany of videos you can watch to handhold you through the process
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
why am I being recommended other apps to try what if I like heroic launcher the best!!
Why can’t I just run from here instead?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
because sometimes heroic isnt the best solution to a given problem?
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
Because you dont read.
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
if i can advise you a better option id
obviously do that instead of giving you an option which has been marked multiple times as being buggy/janky on heroic's end
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
That feature is no good for you as of now.
No one can fix that download problem.
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
You sure it’s easy from spiraling

unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
i mean i did see something that might(?) be useful in helping fix it but it'd be an annoyingly intensive amount of work for something i dont think ariel or linguin or command really want to commit time to
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
So instead of saying "it wont work" and leave, we offer you alternatives.
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
Can m2 run silksong and hollow knight in that case?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
yeah, and if you need help the sikarugir discord is very active and there are guides there to help you too
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
In native MacOS client, yes.
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
i mean
both of those games have mac native builds that dont need heroic or sikarugir or any external software to run
so yeah
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
What if it overheats?
Oh yeah one last thing why am I able to download a game like Archvale
It isn’t so popular of a game but it’s a little intensive vs. hollow knight
I’m able to play it fine
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
Because that download thing is totally random.
No one knows why it sometimes works and why sometimes it fails.
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
So if I download it tomorrow it should work is what you are saying?
unwilling-turquoise•4w ago
no, it works on games that dont require an updated/newer version of the steam client
if its an older game that doesnt really get updates or a smaller game, odds are it works fine on the old steam client that heroic provides
foreign-sapphire•4w ago
No, im saying which game download works vs which ones doesnt and why is not a truly well known root caused thing
So basically you are flipping a coin
genetic-orangeOP•4w ago
AHHHHHH you guys are awesome
Makes sense
