'Failed to initialize Steam' when trying to run Leadwerks on Steam, Whisky, MacOS

[Palo]

1. hi! i'm having a bit of an issue

   i've seen people say leadwerks works fine with proton steam, but i'm on mac so instead i'm using whisky with windows steam instaleld

   i installed it but whenever i try to launch the software it says "Failed to initialize Steam."

   every other game i have works fine though

We currently do not support Linux, so it's difficult to consider this a "bug", although I understand your point of view here.

I don't have a release date for a native Linux build, but I can tell you I have never seen this much interest in Linux in my life, and not just online.

thanks for the reply!

i get that linux/mac isn't officially supported, but do you know if there are any workarounds to get the Failed to initialize Steam error message to go away in Wine/Whisky? other software ran through whisky/wine run fine, including games through steam

i'm on mac, by the way
