Steam/Bootcamp question

[Ruskie]

I can't find a specific answer online, if anyone can help.

32 bit games no longer run on new Apple OS. Sorted Bootcamp out and windows all working fine. When I log into Steam my games aren't visible, Steam says that you can download on multiple OS. I cant find anywhere to do that or how to online. Any suggestions?

I think the most common and successful solution is to ditch the Apple OS for gaming.

So when you check on a game your already own in the store it asks you to buy it again?

It’s just not there, my library is empty. If I log in via Apple OS they are there as normal.

Does't the Steam app default to only showing apps for the system it's installed on.

I'm also not sure that they give you a single licence to run the same game on both OSes - except for SteamPlay titles - and even then they don't have much that will work on Mac due to the need to map the DirectX 11/12 or Vulkan API calls to Apple's Metal APIs.

You can toggle it to show different ones. I assumed they would all work.
