Before you play online

Valve does not support or endorse this.

Bridgeplay adds a library to Steam.app and re-signs Steam. It may conflict with the Steam Subscriber Agreement. Use it at your own risk.

Online games with anti-cheat often will not start, and VAC can keep a game off secure servers. Counter-Strike 2 and Dota 2 run, but not on VAC secure servers.

Built by Raymond Chin in Jakarta, on NotProton. If you can, support CodeWeavers by buying CrossOver — they fund most of Wine on the Mac.

Install it, then press Play.

Windows games, in the Steam you already use. The installer stays under 1 MB and walks the rest.
