I just purchased a game on steam and was bummed out when I couldn’t play it but bruh!!!! With this tutorial it finally worked, you made my day
Thanks for the kind comment and I'm glad I could help!
i have saw alot of tutorails about this before but this is the best one
I'm from another country, I followed you and it worked, thank you very much. Good luck
Glad to have helped!
HOLY CRAP this, THIS video 1000% needs more views. I had originally tried parallels, and before that VMWare to play SWTOR, and Parallels was just barely able to run it almost being completely unplayable but with Whiskey the game runs perfect on ultra settings. Probably not THAT graphically demanding since it is about a 10 year old game, but it's still a MMO. I KNEW the M2 mini was quite beefy.
Hey, I'm glad I could help! I actually didn't know SWTOR worked, I'm gonna have to try that soon haha. Thanks for your kind comment!
Concise and informative. You're the GOAT.
And so are you dear viewer! Thanks for the kind comment and I'm glad I could help.
You have no idea how much time and sadness this saved me from I’ve bought two different games games recently without knowing they where windows only thanks bro
I'm glad I could help! Enjoy your games!
You earned yourself a sub! Concise, informative, excellent video :)
Thank you so much!
YOU ARE MY HERO OF THE YEAR! THANKS A LOT!
i have been waiting years for this TYSM!!!!
I'm glad I could help!
Thanks. This made install really easy.
did it really? how is the system running? sorry I just wanna make sure that its doesn't mess up my computer
Thanks dude!
i found out that in order to play Ghost Runner you HAVE to turn off DXVK. otherwise the game will run but it will render everything black. i did not find another game that needs to have DXVK off, but just pointing it out :)
good vid
Hi, this worked last night, but today whenever I try and run steam it doesn't even open, and i've tried and delete and re-install steam, the bottle, and whiskey, but it still has the same problem, is there a way to fix this?
Thank you very much! but how can I delete the games I downloaded afterwards? Also why can't I found the drives and folders shown in the whisky when I press run?
Thank you :D ❤❤❤❤
Can you add the games you installed to Launchpad to have it look like an app? Thanks! 😊
Thank you!
Glad I could help!
So when I try to play something like gray zone is saying something about my drivers are not up to date. Any idea what I can do?
very good video i can finnaly play poppy playtime hope youre getting famous
hi, when i trt to install whisky, the gtpk option is replaced by "whiskywine" in install. how do i get gtpk? thanks
it does show the steam update screen but after that it shows that whisky is still running but my steam app isn't opening up anywhere
i want a macbook air M3 silver they are too expensive but thanks
This method works for me, but created a problem when the games aren't playable anymore: lack of some sounds and uncontrollable mouse movements, even laptop restarts don't help out. What can I do, guys? Thank you in advance.
Hey thanks so much this is super exciting to try! Unfortunately when I go into my Steam library to download a game it says I have no internet connection even though I'm definitely connected to wifi. Can you please tell me what should I do to fix this?
Power of the Google machine helped me figure this out! All you have to do is click the Steam icon in the top left corner of the app, click "Go Offline" then click "Go Online" and it worked :)
@@jeremyfiske Hello! I'm glad it worked out!
steam won"t open on whiskey I can open setup but that's it. any suggestions? THANKS
yo how to add my drive in the steam. The whisky can't detect my drive. Thanks
Hello I did this using and external ssd and all works. The weird stuff is that if I unplug ssd and plug in another Mac whisky ask me to start all over again. Ideas?
Does it ask you to recreate the bottle?
Really helpful video, and comments!
I just cannot get the exe file to run beyond a short spinning wheel in the right hand corner in Whisky, have tried other's suggestions with no luck so far. Any suggestions welcome! Thanks.
What is the .exe file you're trying to run?
@@MacGamingRevolution the Microsoft Steam installer that you instruct to download at 25 seconds into the tutorial. Thanks for responding!
@@thatlisteningguy I have an idea that might work, first, create a bottle, or use one you've already created. Next, right click the steam.exe file and select open with whiskey then select the bottle and run.
@@MacGamingRevolution sadly when I right click the steam.exe and open with Whisky it creates a pop up for a which bottle in Whisky that appears for all of a split second and then disappears again and nothing happens.
Very helpful tutorial, thank you!. Small question though. If I, for any reason, want to uninstall whisky, does it remove steam and the downloaded games there, or do I need to remove them manually?
If you uninstall whiskey, it will delete the ENTIRE bottle, including steam and all games installed.
@@MacGamingRevolution ah ok thanks! Another question. Some games have a window software requirement, does whisky take care of this? like some games like csgo2 for example, may require something that you need to upgrade on a windows, is this fine for my Mac or not?
Whiskey doesn't care about software requirements fortunately!@@blankname492
@@MacGamingRevolution ok thank you for answering!
Glad I could help!@@blankname492
It’s taking forever to run what should I do
sadly for me within steam the games' downloads stop at a certain percentage. I can not restart steam as it won't successfully stop the download either although it's trying to.
Team keeps on running itself a couple seconds after I close it. Any clue whats happening there?
Hey man. I followed all the steps you said and I even set steam up but at the last steam isn't opening... Do you have any idea why?
Hello, this is an odd issue, maybe you could find the steam.exe file in the bottle then right click and select open with whiskey and run it through the bottle. If it doesn't work then let me know. I also apologize for the delay of my response.
Any tips for what to do when you successfully do all of this, install a game on steam, but then you try to launch the game and get this error?
The following component(s) are required to run this
program:
Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime
Hello, does it do this for all games or just one in particular?
this worked but everytime i want to re open steam, it logs me out. how do i fix?
Is there any way to use seam overlay through wisky?
I don't think so.
How does modding work when doing things like this? Like can i access the files as if it was a PC? I don't know much about this but wanted to play with my girlfriend some lethal company with mods and she has a Mac.
Hello! Modding is quite simple with whisky as you can access the C: drive from the whiskey main menu and place mods in the appropriate folder. Let me know if you have any more questions!
i have a problem i have about 40 gb clean space on my mac and i wanna install a game but it says C Drive Does Not Have Enough Space And The Game i wanna install is under 40 gb why cant i install it also says 28 gb space left in c drive but thats not true

could you please do a tutorial on how to download epic games? or please tell me if its even possible, thanks in advance
You can download it from the epic games website.
@@MacGamingRevolution ive tried, it automatically downloads to the mac version, and not the windows version
whisky is glitched for me when i try using a game it just close everything except the app it self
Thank you so much ! But is it normal to have two "Pre-loader64" opened in the dock while i'm running steam ?
I'm glad I could help! Also, it is completely normal to have Pre-loader 64 on your dock when steam is open and it should close when you close steam.
Thanks for your fast reply. Normal to have one yes but two ?@@MacGamingRevolution
@@valentineries 2's a bit odd but not out of the ordinary, I wouldn't worry about it.
Big thanks to you for your reply ! @@MacGamingRevolution
@@MacGamingRevolution i have the same thing
Can you please make a detailed tutorial like this but for boot camp? My iMac is and Intel mac so Whiskey dosen't work. :(
I would love to but sadly i don't have an intel mac
:( I can try and walk you through it though if you would like. Thanks for your comment!
@@MacGamingRevolution there are a lot videos especially since you a intel mac.
I don't think you need whiskey but you can do boot camp search it up and hope for the best.
just find a version of windows with the windows insider program and put the disk on the bootcamp
This guy's got it! you can also get the windows 11 iso here: www.microsoft.com/software-download/windows11 I don't know if you need it for bootcamp though.@@squirmyspaghetti
i tried this and it worked, but steam runs very slowly and my games wont download, is there a way to fix this? should I uninstall the mac version of steam and try again?
change to esync
My boy you the fucking goat thanks so much
No problem my dude, glad to help!
how is csgo 2 in the list since it had anti cheat ?
Hey it says the application dose not support Mac
Which one is better to use win10 or 11?
I would say 10 as it has greater compatibility, tbh tho I don't really know but yeah I'd say 10.
Hi, I can install steam but whenever I try to install any games it just stops at like 90%. Pls help ty
Try to restart steam, it should fix it.
CAN U DO THIS FOR EPIC GAMES? Fortnite and Rocket League?
Rocket league should work through crossover, Fortnite will not though due to anti cheat flagging.
i tried searching everrywhere but i cant find help for how to install games the unorthodox way. if u use fg installer, they apparently say its too difficult for wine to process but then i downloaded full games and cant get the exe to run. its all very vague and apparently everyone has steam games.
having trouble downloading fallout 3, the game gets to around half way then the download speed drops to 0 and the game won't continue installing or says stopping download indefinitely, any ideas how i can work around these problems? Thanks!
SAME HERE. Same game and all. Mine gets to 99 then just stopps
I can download steam all that but the steam doesen't seem to open no matter what I tried. I tried to delete it and redownload whisky but it just doesn't seems to work.
I am sorry to hear it's not working. Just to confirm, were you able to completely setup steam and login to it? Also when you say 'downloaded steam' do you just mean the installer (SteamSetup.exe)?
Goat! Bahhhhhhh!
I am a simulated goat
whenever i fully close steam it stars up again for some reason and i cant find why its doing that. By fully closing i mean by right clicking on the steam icon in the taskbar at the bottom on mac and clicking quit.
When you do this do have whiskey open?
@@MacGamingRevolution not even if the app is fully closed steam somehow opens after 15-45s for some reason and it even slows the steam a lot when i close it and when it tries to open and i have m2 15in air so i don't understand why so i deleted it hope you can find a solution
That's really weird, I'm sorry to hear that. On the bright side, I did some researching and found a thread discussing the issue on the whiskey Github page: github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/680. Essentially it recommends doing the kill all bottles option or opening the task manager by pushing command, option and escape and killing it from there. I would definitely read the thread, though, if I were you. Hey, maybe reinstalling Whiskey might fix it. I hope one of these solutions works and if it doesn't reply to this thread and i'll try to do some more digging. @@anyplacia
@@MacGamingRevolution Thanks ill try that
@@MacGamingRevolution I read the github page and it said to go to steam settings and disable start steam when computer starts tho it didnt specify where the settings is i found it in interface tab and disabled it and that fixed the issue. Thank You Soo Much
It would have helped if you had advised this does not work on Intel Macs
Sorry about that, i'll update the title. If you do want to run windows games on your mac i'd advise using bootcamp or crossover.
hi bro i followed u method and installed steam but wasn't able to play naraka:bladepoint, so i want to delete it but i was able to delete whisky still afterwards my steam(windows) kept re-launching itself. pls help me how to fully delete steam(windows)
Hey, I've got you bro! You are going to want to follow this filepath: /Library/Containers/Whisky/Bottles
you can do this by pushing 'go' in the upper left corner of the home screen, then hold down option, while holding down option select library. from there continue to find these folders then once you find 'Bottles' inside Whisky delete all the folders inside of it. If you want to find it more easily just redownload whiskey, push create new bottle then push browse on the file path option and it'll take you there.
Ty for help man@ingRevolution u got ur 69 sub(i think) and if possible can u make video on how to play Capitalism Lab on mac m1(or reeply if its working through whisky)
@@Arvind-13832 AYYYYYYY my man! Also it seems you CAN run capitalism lab through a windows virtual machine like VMWare fusion (which is free) or parallels. Based on my research it seems it is not playable through crossover and by extension whiskey. Here is something from the devs on how to play it on Mac from the official website: www.capitalismlab.com/buy-game/system-requirements/
Quick addendum: it seems like virtual box will also work. @@Arvind-13832
Is it better than portingkit? How?
I’m confused about the many ways to get windows games/apps running on mac.
But for sure I’m not gonna pay some subscription like crossover or parallel demands
Totally understandable, the prices they charge to just play games are outrageous. Porting kit (by paulthetall) is a solid alternative that is essentially crossover but a few versions old so performance will be worse than the current version of crossover. Whiskey, if you have an apple silicon mac that is up to date with the current version, is better then porting kit, though, as it has a more recent version of crossover bundled in along with with apple's game porting toolkit all for free. There is also VMWare fusion which is an excellent alternative to Parallels and is also free! I actually prefer it as it has lots of nice qol features.
@@MacGamingRevolution But nice to see free stuff happening. I will try some Whiskey ;)
everything is working fine but my game keeps getting stuck at 99% when im trying to download it.
Turn off your connection to the internet and turn it back off, you might have to mess around with closing steam
I got steam to work. HUGE ISSUE: for Rome 2 Total War, the game starts downloading but at a certain point, it stops. Please advise, the wifi works fine and theres 70GB available for a 33gb game
I got it to download fully, now it wont open. Its a 32 bit game but it says win64-preloader. not sure if that is only for 64 bit games... Rome 2 total war is just impossible to play. Looking forward to #ManorLords !
I don’t know why, but I can’t download the game Left4dead in Steam. The update stops by 61% and nothing further happens (((
Is it possible to run Genshin Impact direct downloading from office site in whisky or not
There's actually an even better alternative for genshin (though it requires the MOST modern version of MacOS) that does everything for you and doesn't need crossover or whiskey. I can't link it because the devs don't want their stuff getting taken down but if you search YAAGL (Yet Another Anime Game Launcher) then it should pop up.
thanks i found some recent tutorial too on yaagl on yt on how to install windows version Genshin . One last question how do we update the game on yaagl if there is new version.
@@user70ZX_ISDEAD I think it'll automatically update through yaagl.
The shortcut doesn’t show up tho
gonna wanna
lol
@@MacGamingRevolution haha thanks for the tutorial tho
Weird question but I've downloaded steam, installed it, followed this to a T but I can't get past the installation page because steam just closes...I've looked everywhere for the answer and no one has this issue...
Did you find an answer to this I open whisky then click run on the exe file and noting happens in whisky. Hope you sorted your problem. any info appreciated.
i cant login into steam, i always get the error code e87, does anyone has a fix for this?
Maybe try and disable msync? I've noticed msync can occasionally break some online/web based things.
everything works and steam is in whisky, but steam just won’t open. any idea why? i’ve tried redownloading whisky or making a new bottle for steam but it doesn’t work, it just won’t open steam.
I'm having the same problem
Maybe try redownloading whiskey. Also, are you making bottles on windows 10 (7 and older have discontinued support) and getting the right steam setup file (steamsetup.exe)?
can I not run any other .exe file?
You can!
It stucks at login
how do you get your mouse thing? haha plz reply
Hello, what mouse thing were you referring to?
@@MacGamingRevolution the gray circle when u click, and btw, im having an issue where when i try to download a game, it either stops at 99% and neither continues or stops the install, or like stops the download randomly and i cant do anthg about it
i can download it but when i click steam it will not open plz help me
Did you find an answer to this I open whisky then click run on the exe file and noting happens in whisky. Hope you sorted your problem. any info appreciated.
It's always slow from peak to 0 when I download a game. What do you think I should do?
Thank you, bro.
Are you saying games are slow to download for you?
@@MacGamingRevolution That's right, bro. When it starts, it downloads at the maximum speed. But for a while, it slows down and drops to 0 and I wait it around 2-5 minutes then it starts to download again. Never happen when download on native os.
Hmm that's really weird. Are you able to complete downloads or is it too slow? in the meantime I'll look for a fix. @@AphisitP
@@MacGamingRevolution It's completed and playable. As I said, it start with maximum speed, slows down to zero, and back to download with maximum speed again. It's going on as a loop until complete.
Gotcha. I've done some research and found this which kinda sounds like the issue your mac is having: github.com/Whisky-App/Whisky/issues/520
I wasn't able to find much else unfortunately. If I were you I would just try to deal with the slow download speeds :/
If I find a solution I'll be sure to keep you updated.
Can you make a video on how to download GTA 5?
If I buy the game in the future I'll make sure to! I do know it is possible though.
any idea how to run valorant on macos
Unfortunately as of right now you cannot natively due to it's anti cheat. You might be able to through bootcamp on an intel mac or through a cloud gaming service like Geforce now.
@@MacGamingRevolution but I have an m1 mac and I want to play valorant for free.since GeForce now is not available in India I cannot use it.I appreciate your reply.
That’s unfortunate.

Hello, did you click 'run' in whiskey and drag the steamsetup.exe file into the finder window that opens up when clicking run, then click on steamsetup.exe when it is in that other window and click open in the bottom right of the finder window?
Yes, still doesn't work though.
@@MacGamingRevolution Also, when I click on 'run', what files should it show? For me, all it says is "Windows' and that is it.

Steam keeps on opening it self wtf
there is a problem about storage, my Mac says I have enough but steam won't recon pls make a vid
Whiskey is saying you don't have enough storage?
Can you help me for 3 dollars ( actually )😰😰
it doesnt even appear as a .exe file its steam.dmg for me???
To download the steamsetup.exe file go to the steam download page and click the windows icon below the big one for mac, it should say: "also available on". Alternatively, you can copy and paste this: cdn.cloudflare.steamstatic.com/client/installer/SteamSetup.exe into your search bar to download it automatically, but you can just get it from the steam site if you aren't a fan of clicking links from strangers.
Yo can you give me ur discord we could chat because I really need someone who understands my problem since you have a mac and know it better than me.
I have a problem with whiskey that I can’t add my external drive any ideas how to fix it?
Here is a step by step tutorial from the whiskey github:
"I am going to use Steam as an example. Let's say you want to have Steam and all the games, on a bottle, on an external SSD
Open Whisky and create the Steam bottle. Install the Windows version of Steam and configure it, to your liking
The Whisky created bottle, will be something like this:
(~/Library/Containers/com.isaacmarovitz.Whisky/Bottles/98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455)
The part you need, to start having fun, with your game...
Copy the bottle 98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455 to the external SSD
Erase the bottle 98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455 on the Mac internal SSD
Select the bottle on the external SSD, right click on it and chose "create alias"
A new link like this (98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455 alias) will be created
Erase the alias part of the name; it only should be 98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455 as the name
Copy the created alias (98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455)
to ~/Library/Containers/com.isaacmarovitz.Whisky/Bottles/
Erase the created alias (98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455) on the external SSD
Now; every time the Whisky.app will search for the Steam bottle, it will follow the route to the external SSD
~/Library/Containers/com.isaacmarovitz.Whisky/Bottles/(SimLink)98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455 > (External SSD Folder)98E17132-BD5D-4388-944B-AD22F5C2E455
It looks a little confusing, but actually it is very simple. I think you will find "Symbolic Links" very useful; you can use them, for a lot of things. I hope I did not forget anything. Kind regards."
Essentially, move your bottle to the external drive then create a simlink. Let me know if you have any more questions!
@@MacGamingRevolution thank you
I downloaded Warzone on the Mac, but it doesn't open every time I click play. Any idea what I should do?
Hello! Warzone, along with many other big online games like Fortnite and Valorant won't work on mac due to the anti-cheat. In the future, I would recommend going to this site: www.applegamingwiki.com/wiki/Home to check compatibility (Whiskey is crossover basically). Also, assume most online AAA games won't work as that is usually the case.
