    Hey everybody!

    So while trying to open my steam, I have ran into an issue. It opens the log in screen, and I log in. But right after I log in the program disappears. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program from my computer. It's also doing the same thing with my account on my partners computer (they have a macbook as well). I'm confused and frustrated on what to do now. Anybody have any suggestions?

    Maybe you should try downloading it again from the website, maybe from a different browser, and installing that version. Steam works on my mac, so I don't think it is a problem with macs.

    I think that it may be an account issue now, because my partner can log onto my computer just like normal. So, I have a ticket into steam support and I'm hoping that they can help me.

    I finally found out what the issue is. Other mac steam users were having the same problem. If you hit the remember password button, then it will let you log in. At least it was an easy fix I guess?
