Steam will not launch. I get nothing, no opening screen of any sort. It appears to try to launch (the barest of animation of the icon, that's it) but then, nothing. This is a newly DL'd copy of Steam.

Hey there rocklilybeast,
We understand Steam is not launching on your new M1 MacBook Pro. We'll be happy to help.
It sounds like this may be a compatibility issue. You may need to use Rosetta to launch the app. This will guide you: If you need to install Rosetta on your Mac
Beyond that, we recommend checking with the developer to see if the app is compatible with your Mac. Reference this page: How to contact an app developer
Cheers!

rocklilybeast,
Thanks for going through those steps and letting us know. Next, we'd like to take a couple isolation steps. Test the issue in safe mode and a new user account. Reference the two articles below.
How to use safe mode on your Mac
Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac
Let us know how that goes or if you have any questions. Thanks!
I have installed Rosetta and Steam says it should work. Any other ideas?
