utpaajordet Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Hi! This in my steam today, will this mean from 1. January I will no longer be able to play FM on my computer? "Starting on January 1 2019, Steam will officially stop supporting macOS versions 10.7 ("Lion"), 10.8 ("Mountain Lion"), 10.9 ("Mavericks") and 10.10 ("Yosemite"). This means that after that date the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of macOS. In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of macOS. The newest features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of macOS. In addition, future versions of Steam will require macOS feature and security updates only present in macOS 10.11 ("El Capitan") and above. For the remainder of 2018 Steam will continue to run and to launch games on these versions, but other functionality in Steam will be somewhat limited. For example, new features such as the new Steam Chat will not be available. We encourage all users on these operating systems to upgrade to newer versions of macOS in order to have ongoing access to the latest features of Steam, and to ensure future access to all games and other Steam content. Users of macOS versions 10.7 ("Lion") through 10.10 ("Yosemite") can find more information on upgrading macOS here." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It appears to be fairly clear that if you are using any of the Mac operating systems mentioned in the first sentence, you will need to upgrade to a newer version to be able to access the games in your steam library. If you have any further queries, I suggest that you direct them to steam. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhughthom Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 You could try putting Steam to Offline Mode, then it won't be able to update on that date. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SI Staff EdL Posted December 18, 2018 SI Staff Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hopefully your Mac can update to 10.11 https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT206886 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spurs08 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 This does raise the possibility that FM titles could eventually become 100% unplayable. The games may not support future operating systems, while Steam stops supporting the older ones. It's a shame the pirates forced the industry to adopt the likes of Steam, and it would definitely be nice to see the protection removed for older titles eventually.
