Steam stuck on the opening screen (MAC)

[Overseer]

Hello guys,
My steam stuck on the opening screen. I only see steam and valve words and it never allows me to go account info part. Can somebody help me ? Many thanks...

I've tried running the script in terminal but it doesn't work for me

Thanks, Asturaz and Scarlie. It is usually a case-sensitive file system issue when things go weirdly wonky like that. I wish Valve adapted to that, but they're not willing because most game developers are WIndows developers and they couldn't care less.

Tried this a few times now, no fix keep getting :: -bash: cd: /Users/User/Library/Application Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS/servers: No such file or directory
ls: *.tga: No such file or directory

Same, this isn't working for me. Will someone please help?!

Here's an updated set of commands people can use. It's based on the original set that was posted on page 1:

cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/Steam.AppBundle/Steam/Contents/MacOS
find . -name "*.res" | while read line ; do file=$(echo $line | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'); mv $line $file; done

By the way as others have mentioned this is a fault with the Steam client. Clearly it was not tested with Macs having a case sensitive partition scheme (which is the default partition scheme that a new Mac will come as, so I have no idea how they screwed it up). Feel free to complain to Steam about the Mac client having this fault - it's so easy for them to fix!

Thanks, that gets me past install and able to use steam again. I still have issues with assets not loading in game (n++) which I'm guessing is the same issue. Seems like a ridiculous and easily avoidable problem :/
