  1. Hi, I'm using a Mac, and the game has run fine, even as of last night, and then today when I go to launch the game I get a message saying "Failed to start game (missing executable.)" It has a link to steam support and describes a process to go through, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac: Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)I see the error "Failed to Start Game (Missing Executable)" when launching a game through Steam. What can I do? TroubleshootingThis error results from the improper delivery of necessary game files. Please follow the steps below to initiate a small download of the missing content: Completely exit Steam. Navigate to your Steam installation folder (~C:\Program Files\Steam) Delete the 'appcache' folder. Restart your computer and attempt to launch the game through Steam If the issue persists, it may be that a program on your machine is interfering with the proper delivery of game files: Please temporarily uninstall any applications listed in our Programs Which May Interfere with Steam. Additionally, it is possible that anti-virus software is reporting game files as malicious. I don't even know where the steam installation folder is on a Mac, and I searched for an "appcache" folder and didn't have any luck. I've uninstalled the game and tried installing it again and that hasn't seemed to fix the problem. Also, I don't know if this is part of the problem, but the game seemed to reinstall really, really fast.. It only took about 2 seconds and it said the game had successfully installed. Seems like it would be hard to install the necessary files in that short amount of time. Can someone help me figure out what is wrong and how to get it working again?
