[Guide] How to fix a broken Steam in MojaveOS

[PDT]

This is for you guys that have had a broken Steam App since going over to Mojave. After many hours with steam's worthless support I figured out how to do it myself. I was getting the following errors and steam would crash on starting up:

Error: Failed to create symlink 6 (package/tmp/legacycompat/steamclient64.dll_ -> Steam.dll) - errno=17
Error: Failed to unzip package (/Users/NAME/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS/package/bins_misc_osx.zip.vz.368d509dd439562acaa969c8aa2c74fb27ae0b41_14054261).

Firstly, make sure all fonts are enabled. (Might not help but its a good idea to do)
1. Go to Font Book App through launcher
2. Under "All Fonts" select all fonts with CMD + A
3.At the top command bar File > Restore all Standard Fonts.

Next open Finder.
1. Go > Go to Folder >
2. Type in "~/Library/Application Support" This should bring you to a much larger list of applications than if you just went to it by clicking on Mac HD.
3. Go to Steam folder.
4. Go to Steam.AppBundle folder
5. Click on Steam Icon>Contents>MacOS>Package>tmp>legacycompat>
6. Delete the Steamclient64.dll and Steamclient.dll files.
7. Press back twice so you're in the "package" folder.
8. Rename "tmp" folder "tmp~"
9. Open Steam

For me all I had to enable was the Tahoma font group in the Font Book.

That's a better idea then enable everything, otherwise you load all fonts in your system memory and could cause performance issues.
