(Question) Steamworks / steamapi compat

[mineland-2048]

Is there a way to get steam games made in unity to work with this method? Im trying with cuphead with the mac os version and it hangs on the loading screen which i assume is some sort of anti piracy check triggering.

It's probably a no go because of that check though, but it would be interesting to see if something else is possible

There can be many reasons for a game to hang or not to run at all, especially when it depends on native libraries that would need to be replaced with a linux version. Sometimes it can also be a smaller thing where you need to do some kind of adjustment as you can see in the notes section of running games in the compatibility list. As a steam game, The Last Campfire was reported to work, so it can work but depends on the game.

You should check the unity player logs as they reveal pretty well all the errors, also feel free to share them for a quick look.

Seems here my issue wasnt a steamworks issue and more of a IOKit library issue. I can share the log still, although my bad if it wasnt an issue for this

Player.log

The log file reveals that the game uses the Rewired library for input and that uses IOKit on macos, so this needs to be fixed. There are several games in the compatibility list that also have this problem, sometimes it was enough to just remove Rewired_OSX_Lib.dll and the game used some fallback and worked, but sometimes it needs a linux native replacement and there was success to use Rewired_Linux.dll from another game and bend links to use this library instead to make the game successfully running.

You can try this for Cuphead. https://github.com/DemoJameson/Cuphead.macOStoLinux
