Compatibility Report

  • Name of the game with compatibility issues: Various (Sid Meier's Civilization IV and its many versions, all/most GTAs, etc)
  • Steam AppID of the game: Various

System Information

ANY

I confirm:

  • [x] that I haven't found an existing compatibility report for this game.
  • [x] that I have checked whether there are updates for my system available.

Symptoms

Steam displays a message along the lines of "Runs on this computer via Steam Play" for games that only have a Mac version.

I can confirm that all of the games that I can test are advertised as both Mac and Windows on the Store, but in the library they have a different entry for each individual OS. The problem is that both of them display the Steam Play message and option to play it.

Reproduction

  • Open the Steam Library.
  • Find any entry that only has a Mac launcher.
  • The Install / Play button is there and usable, and the SP message is shown
