Mac Steam desktop client error e8.

[Syn]

Despite being able to log-in successfully on Windows to my account, the process errors out with an e8 code when trying on the Mac. Re-installing the Steam client did not change anything.

Error code "e8" on the Mac Steam desktop client typically indicates a problem with the client's network connectivity.

I have the same issue, but everything else that requires a network is fine. Steam is the only app that isn't working.

I am having the same issue. Tried reinstalling, restarting, removing cache, nothing seems to be working.

Anyone hear anything on this...I'm having the same issue...Macbook Air M2 (Ventura 13.2.1)

It disappeared the next day, I am not sure how. Nothing changed, I didn't restart the computer or change internet connection in the meantime.

I don't know if anyone is still having the issue but I have fixed this problem by chance today in my Mac air m1.

This is what has worked for me.
I turned off wifi and then logged in in offline mode (when I tried to log in without a connection it offered me that choice).
Once logged in, I turned on wifi and change to online mode. Then an update popped up and after installing it, the client restarted and I could log in fine.

Thank you, Gurb !

1. Disconnect device from internet.
2. Start Steam in offline mode.
3. Reconnect internet.
4. Update Steam and restart app.
5. CONNECT!

Forever thankful.
