Greetings

So the title pretty much says it all. I use Steam to play Eve, and the launcher stopped working quite suddenly (iirc, it worked last time I played, which is friday). I recently updated my OS X to El Capitan, and I did installed that Java update to ensure some older software would still run... Perhaps that is part of the solution.

Here's the Max Specs:

OS X El Capitan v10.11.1 (15B42)
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013)
CPU : 3,2 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory : 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics : NVIDIA GeForce GT 755M 1024 MB

I did verify the local file from Steam, which did told me I had to redownload over 1900 files (about 7go). Once that was completed, the launcher still hangs (that dreaded beach ball mouse cursor; eventhough they redesigned that cursor in El Capitan, I still hate it).

Any hints or clues on what I should do? I'm leaning toward getting rid of the Steam "wrapper" and just use the plain Mac client... Ideas?

So, getting the stand alone client from the website (instead of using the Steam based one) seem to have fixed the issue. Hope that helps someone else.
