00:00what's up guys i downgraded my mac mini to catalina then to mojave since i wanted to
00:09benefit as much as possible from the backwards compatibility with 32 bits
00:15then i discovered that i cannot run steam on it although i don't depend much on it
00:21i mean on steam then i looked for a workaround to get it working
00:28so i wanted to share that with you
00:33the workaround is from the forums of macrumors it says that we need to install steam as normal
00:43i have downloaded steam from the official website today at this time so let's install it as said
00:55in the thread
01:03like this
01:07the fact that the icon is like this means that it's working means that it's compatible not working
01:15there will be an issue with this which is about needing the internet to update since every time
01:23you run steam it tries to automatically update it it says in the forum that you do not
01:34you should not open the app once you drag it to the application folder
01:40probably they don't want you to have the files like the configuration files since they will be
01:49generated once the application is first run i don't know if you remove the app
01:57those files will also be removed or not since i installed the app run it before and
02:08removed it in order to do this tutorial with you and then they say that you should open the terminal
02:16and
02:16run this command so i will simply copy it and paste it into my terminal like this
02:32let's try to make it a little bit bigger
02:39again like this and we paste that command
02:48here i saw something that is interesting which is the update is gonna be from
02:58archive.org which is a very interesting website shout out to everyone who helped with such project
03:06i'll try to make this
03:11yes still not enough
03:18yes it's like this in case you wanted to type it otherwise i will put the link of the thread
03:23in the
03:23description and then you press enter once you pasted the command successfully into your terminal
03:34enter here press or click open and it should update my steam update is finished here it says that
03:47for 10.13 and 10.14 users you are able to reopen steam as normal login and you can update
03:57to the
03:58last version available of your desired mac os version update your client right away through steam check for updates
04:06we may need to take a look at our steam how it looks like to check for the configurations that
04:12we have just
04:17made it works as you can see
04:22it says that if you want to prevent unintentional updates which may cause the client to be bricked
04:29create a steam.cfg in this path that's what i wanted to do to make sure that it keeps working
04:36in on my system so we i go to slash applications steam dot app contents mac os and make a
04:54file call it steam dot
05:00cfg uh ls al i want to know the owner okay so touch to make the file we call it
05:14steam dot cfg all lowercase and then
05:18we edit it steam dot cfg and we add these two lines
05:34to prevent unintentional updates although we are able to update our steam client to the
05:46our newest version and we have them added as you can see we save and exit
06:08it says here that the instructions for 10.10 mac os 10.10 are not provided so there may be
06:19an exception for this
06:29and there may be some problems for half life one if half life two
06:37and they need to be fixed in case they didn't work for you by reverting to their pre 20th anniversary
