Forcing app install?

TheLink · 06-30-2012, 05:38 AM

Hello all. I have quite a few games, but only a few work on mac. I was wondering if there was a way to forcefully install PC games on my mac, so I have access to to it's content. With a bit of tweaking, some source games DO work on mac. Also, source mod content for Garrysmod. Any Help would be great. Thanks for your help.

Simply copy the content from a PC install.

I was hoping not to do that, because my PC only has about 2GB left and this game is about 10 or so.

There is no way to force Steam to install the PC version of a game to your Mac without running Windows in some form.

You can only do it when you purchase the game (or if you can construct the steam:// subscription install URL).
