The Steam Games Won’t Launch or Steam won’t open issue might be occurring as because the condition of your RAM is not in a good state. Therefore, you need to contact a nearby computer servicing center and ask the person authorized to check the condition of your RAM. If you find any kind of issue with RAM, replace it as soon as possible. Steam was originally a 32-bit app. A while ago they released a 64-bit version but my experience was that it didn't automatically upgrade, I had to go to their website and manually install to get the 64-bit version. I have not played any games yet but the Steam app (64-bit version) appears to be running fine on the 10.15 beta. After downloading The Sims 3 game, it's stuck on the finalizing process after about 2+ hours of waiting. It still says 0% remaining and also 0hs, 0m, and 0s remaining. I have such a headache, I just want to play the game.
