Can't Open Steam Anymore (since Os X Yosemite : Steam For Mac

In fact, OS X Yosemite on both my 2013 Mac Pro and 2014 MacBook Pro is unusable in its current state. Save big on IT Training. The Complete 2018 CompTIA Certification Training Bundle is on sale. Previously, in OS X Mavericks it worked to minimise games, or navigate through open apps with cmd+tab even if the game was opened in full screen but now you can't do that anymore. Pressing cmd+tab doesn't have any effect. Also I can't find any way to minimise the game. As mentioned above, a common problem found in the earlier versions of OS X is the file permissions being set incorrectly. This can happen whenever you install a new app, update an app, or upgrade your copy of OS X. All it takes is the installer to be coded incorrectly, and an app's permissions can be set incorrectly.

Hi, as mentioned in the other topics, I was asked to open my own topic for my problem. So here again: Mac PRO X58, Xeon X5660 at 3.4 GHz, 24Gig RAM, SSDs, GTX 970 - never any issues within the last years. I can play other games, Lightroom, Photoshop, Video Editing not a single problem. No RAM defect, Ive tested a lot within the last couple of days. Software/Drivers: Yosemite 10.10.5, newest Security Update 2016-001, Graphics Driver: 346.02.03f05 (for the Security Update needed - just this dumb hash-sum of the Yosemite build - how stupid this is from Nvidia and Apple), Dota 2 Reborn Build: 956755, newest Steam Version. 10on10 is loading without any problems.

Every other normal dota2 game - mmr, all pick, single draft, whatever, fails to load. Console.log output, Is it the missing GL shader in the first line?: Before the last Steam Update from 02-02 I had almost the same crash report as the guy in this topic: Now, Dota2 just crashes without this report. The dota2 failure report from 1/28 in your zip file shows a timeout, so apparently OSX thought Reborn was hung and killed it.

There isn't enough other information to know what happened there. If you aren't getting any other reports since 2/2 the problem most likely lies outside of Reborn. We can't say for sure since there's no information at all but normal crashes within Reborn are caught by Reborn.

As your console logs don't show anything specific it's a mystery at this point, we'll have to see if we can repro the issue to make any progress. I have read in the thread what I maybe should provide you with: here is my system info from the steam client: what I see: Graphics GTX970 with 2GIG Ram is wrong (4GB is correct). I will downgrade my graphics driver to the previous version before the apple yosemite security update 2016-001. Maybe that will help to get into matches again. Still I don't undestand why I am able to load every random 10on10 without any issues - ok I had one complete shutdown of dota2 within one 10on10 match without a dumb report, but still. Not the behaviour of the normal dota2 matchmaking routine.

Ah btw, under windows 10 no problems at all with any of the following game titles: dota2, cs source, dirty rally, far cry 4. Sorry but that frustrates me. How can valve accept to deploy such a buggy game to one of the biggest communities in the game industry?

I mean, didnt valve test their releases before each update? Since month of reborn, the problems are getting worse and worse under mac os x. What is wrong here. And why do i need to play some sort of test rabbit which is trying to connect to new matchmaking games when I know that I'm getting banned each and every fucking time? And why can no valve crewmember reset my account when such a topic like this one is online where it is clearly visible, that THIS is not my faulT??!

Can anyone give a satisfying answer to this questions? I'm really pissed off!

Reader Richard Spitzer is concerned about using a third-party SSD drive with his Mac running Yosemite. He writes: I just read an article that Apple is disabling the TRIM function for third-party SSDs in the Yosemite OS update. I have installed third-party SSD drives (in my case Samsung) and until I saw the article was thinking about updating from Mavericks. Should I hold off and what does this mean in the long run? Let’s start with some words of explanation.

About SSDs and LBA An SSD writes small bits data to “pages,” and multiple pages make up blocks. The SSD uses something called Logical Block Addressing (LBA) to keep track of which pages and blocks have information on them. This is a kind of map that details which pages and blocks are and aren’t occupied with “good” data. When you delete information from an SSD, that information isn’t really deleted. Rather, a reference to it is removed from the LBA and it’s marked as invalid data. When the drive can’t find any remaining open pages, it looks for the pages that contain invalid data to erase to make room for the fresh stuff.

The difficulty is that the drive can’t erase individual pages. It has to overwrite blocks. So if you have a block where half the data is good and half invalid, you have to move the good data to another location before you can erase the block. This takes time and slows down the drive’s performance.

The controllers within SSDs have a technology called “garbage collection” that moves the data within pages—both the good and invalid data—to new blocks and then erases the old ones. TRIM works at the operating system level and ensures that only the good data is moved. Invalid data is erased when the drive is otherwise idle.

In sum, the two technologies speed up the drive’s performance so that it’s not performing a lot of needless move and erase actions. Where Yosemite fits in If you purchase a Mac with an SSD or Fusion drive built in, the TRIM technology is working away in the background to keep your drive running at its peak. However, if you’ve installed a third-party SSD, that drive doesn’t use TRIM because Apple’s TRIM technology is not built to support it. Instead, you’d do some Terminal work or use a third-party tool such as Cindori Software’s to make TRIM work with your drive. This worked perfectly well with Mavericks.

Yosemite, however, introduced a twist. With Yosemite, kernel extension ( kext) files must be “signed” (or approved) by Apple for security reasons.

And there’s the issue. The workarounds that allow TRIM to function with third-party SSDs require that kext files are modified. If Yosemite encounters such a modified kext file, it won’t run. In cases where you have such a modified extension installed, your Mac won’t be able to boot from the drive. Without it, you can boot from the SSD but it won’t run with the benefit of TRIM. What options do you have? The only way to allow TRIM to work with third-party drives under Yosemite is to disable kext signing.

Unfortunately, you can’t do this on an extension-by-extension basis. Instead, you have to turn it off globally. And when you do, this opens the security hole that Apple has attempted to close. Because I think it’s a terrible idea to disable this security measure I won’t provide you with the steps necessary to make it happen. (There’s a big wide Internet out there that will guide you if you want to pursue this course.) Another option is to get an SSD that uses the SandForce processor, which some claim makes TRIM unnecessary. OWC’s use this processor. You could also take your Mac to Apple and ask them to install an SSD that will work with their driver.

And finally, you can and suggest that in a future update they make Yosemite compatible with TRIM and third-party SSDs. Have a question of your own? Drop a line to.
