Hello,

I can't login on SK using Steam since the last update, the Steam checkbox is no longer available.
Yesterday I had no problems. It started right after I updated my client.

My friend with a Windows laptop said that it's all running fine there, it's just a Mac issue I think.

Right now I'm trying to update or install a previous Java version.
Anyone having the same problem?

Thanks

Restart Steam, that usually makes the automatic log on work again.

The problem still persists,
Dogrock, I already did it, restarting steam and the laptop didn't solve the problem.

I also tried uninstalling and installing SK again, no success.
Java update didn't work either. Tried using Java SE 5 and 6 last.

Is it only me? Cause if it is I will take the opportunity to update to Lion OS since I'm using Snow Leopard.

So please tell me, can you login using a Mac?

Thanks

I'm still looking to find out what's wrong... why the steam checkbox is missing.

Do you guys know if is there some kind of registry on Mac to activate this option?

Thanks

The option is activated by

The option is activated by communication with the Steam client, so if Steam isn't talking to the client, it'll never show up.

You could try going into putting Steam into offline mode, then switch it back to online mode. If that doesn't work you could also try a full refresh of the Steam client by deleting everything except the steam.exe and the steamapps folder.

Thanks Starlinvf, With your

Thanks Starlinvf,

With your suggestion I was able to make it work.

For those with the same problem on Mac:

Open Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder.
Then type: ~/Library/Application Support/Steam

Remove all the files except Steamapps.
Run Steam again.
