When I click play on Amnesia it doesn't load.
I'm on an iMac and I use Steam.
Has anyone else had this?
It usually works, but now for some reason when I click it, it just doesn't do anything. I don't even get an error or anything.
Not only wrong forum but also wrong subforum.

Moved to Amnesia MACTS from Penumbra WTS
I would restart steam, and have steam run a cache validation check to ensure Amnesia is installed correctly.
I believe this is a steam issue, as I just installed the steam client
update from yesterday and the game no longer works on my system (e.g.
the system where the mac version was developed).

However, I managed to get it working again.. Here is what I did
  • Delete Steam from my Applications folder.
  • Tell it "NO" when it asks to remove the local data (unless you really want to, you can :-D )
  • Go
    to the Library/Application Support/Steam/ folder and delete EVERYTHING
    except for the SteamApps folder (that is where your installed games are)
  • Re download steam from steampowered.com
  • Reinstall it (drag to Applications folder)
  • launch
    steam and wait for it to update. it may take some time and may even
    claim you have no internet just after downloading updates.. just
    re-launch it again.
  • Once it finishes updating login, and validate your system (Steams authorization process as it thinks you are on a new system)
  • Try
    running amnesia.. It may take a bit as steam resyncs all your games (to
    make sure they are all updated).. But it should run perfectly now.
Thanks.
