Steam won't open [Bug]:

[ThatMajd]

Description

Whisky can't open steam anymore, however, it can open other programs.
If I remember correctly this started when I force quit steam, not sure if this is what caused it.
I also tried opening the program with another bottle.

Steps to reproduce

Launch steam
or (optional)
Force quit steam

Expected behaviour

Open the App

I've run into a similar issue, however it seems it isn't related to force closing steam as for me it started yesterday and it persists even after deleting the bottle and installing a fresh bottle with steam.

My behavior is:

• install and NOT checking the box "Run steam" on the installer
• open the "Steam" shortcut created in Whisky
• Steam Updater opens and starts updating,
• Updater reaches 100% and closes
• Steam never opens (I left it open for hours to see if anything happened)
• Force close all wine processes via "Activity Monitor"
• Open Steam via Whisky again
• Updater shows for a split second and closes
• The icon for Steam with "wine64-preloader" title shows in the Dock
• No Steam window ever shows

My findings are that steam is running smh, but no window is bein shown for some weird bug.

BTW, I'm running it on a MacBook Pro 14-inch, 2021 (M1 Pro) 16GB on Sonoma 14.5

Likewise, I also started experiencing issue since yesterday, after updating to dependency for whiskywine.
I'm also experiencing issue with downloading game.

Maybe that's a Sonoma 14.5 issue? It seems different from the issue with miroring monitors (#922).

OTOH, upon searching, there are many similar-looking issues:

#644
#584
#836

Some of them have suggestions for Steam command-line options that help some people.

It's not a Sonoma 14.5 ussye
I have been on 14.5 for a while and it's been working fine.
Mirroring was always an issue prior to 14.5 btw :(

And no those issues were not applicable in my instance (as in, I experienced them in the past, and was able to fix or bypass them eventually)
