Using whisky to run windows steam on Mac

[oliverhesterberg64]

I was playing windows games through whisky on my Mac and it worked for a week or two then stopped out of nowhere. Every time I try to start it, it gives me a prompt saying: "Steam encountered an unexpected error during startup (0x3008)." It says unexpected transport error at the top. Ive tried restarting everything and even uninstalling/reinstalling everything, as well as making a whole new Mac account to no luck. if anyone knows how to fix this please help. Thanks!

It is due to a Steam update. I am having the same issue. So far, there have been no updates on Whisky to solve the issue.

thank you very much i kinda figured something updated and screwed it up.

No problem. The worst rumour, is that whisky is no longer being updated.

Sad News :(. According to Whisky, they are no longer going to update the program. The link to the announcement is here: https://github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/1336. It is suggested from the community to switch to crossover. Quite disappointing as crossover is a cost service.

So far, I have tried Crossover, and it worked great for a few hours, then it doesnt load games properly. Whisky was the best app to play PC games, and it was free. RIP

I have the same issue. According the issue from github, we need Whisky add the support of Wine 10. Now, we only can use Crossover instead.

The fix now is to roll back the Steam version to the last one supported, which can be found here https://docs.getwhisky.app/steam.html
