Play on mac will not work until staging 2.12 is added to usable wine
versions... You need to directly download wine-staging 2.12 package from
https://dl.winehq.org/wine-builds/macosx/download.html (mac is at the bottom).
Open the steam setup.exe with wine staging, fill everything out as you normally
would, just remember where you put the files as you will need steam.exe to
launch it!!! To launch it, open wine staging from your applications folder
(this will open a terminal prompt), type the command "wine" followed by the
path to the steam.exe file. bit of a pain but its easy once you get used to it.
You will have to reinstall everything, but personal game data should have been
stored on the steam claud. Everything runs perfectly :) hope i was thorough
enough tell me if you need more info
