Sign into Mac client using Steam account?

Hi,

I was wondering if/when this option will ever be available? I often play from my desktop machine using the steam client, but when I do travel I have a mac and would love to have the option to sign into the client using my steam account. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Running steam in wine is a bit tricky. Running wine through native steam is impossible (for now).

The steps you need are roughly:
Download wine-*.dmg

Find Wine.app in that disk image in a hidden folder. Drag-and-drop that app to /Applications

Export /Applications/Wine.app/Contents/Resources/bin to PATH

winecfg

winetricks steam

winetricks vcrun2010 d3dx9_42 d3dcompiler_43 riched20

Disable dwrite so text works in steam (same as -no-dwrite option but permanent):
wine reg add 'HKCU\Software\Valve\Steam' /v DWriteEnable /t REG_DWORD /d 00000000

wine "C:\Program Files\Steam\Steam.exe"


Install PoE within steam, canceling any extras it wants to install (like DirectX)

Hope it runs without more tweaking

That's a bit of work man haha. I don't understand why I cant use the mac client and authenticate through steam the way the website has an option to login using your steam account.
