Steam Black Screen

Problem #1:

I am posting this for assistance with getting crossover to display steam. When I log in and open steam I have a black screen on every tab (Store, Library, Community, etc.). I have enabled and disabled all options in the advanced settings in the bottle. I also have tried different OS versions like windows 7, 8, and 10. Same results, I can only view my library when I put steam into Small Mode. I have also edited the settings in Steam preferences like disabling smooth scrolling and enabling GPU acceleration.

Problem #2:

When connecting my Xbox Elite controller I can't get it to be recognized by Crossover. It shows up as an xbox controller, but only one type is displayed. I have tried disabling and re-enabling it and it still does not work. I have tried this with wired and through bluetooth.

Any assistance with these issues would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently running MacOS Ventura 13.0.1 with Crossover 22.0.1

Xbox Elite Controllers are broken in the version of SDL2 that’s ships within CrossOver this was fixed recently upstream but that was way after CX22 had I already launched.

Open a support ticket about this too to get an official response on when this might possibly be resolved.

Go to Steam settings and choose to enter the Beta program and select the fork of Beta Steam client, it will restart the client and update and it come back again.
