I can't see any folders or files for games downloaded via Steam in finder. I can see the file paths in the log but they don't show up in finder so I can't get to them.

I am operating an iMac with OS X 10.9.4. I have a glitch common to other Mac users in the game "War Thunder" as a result of a game update. The game maker has suggested a fix which requires going into the game folders and deleting the cache:

"------------ QUOTE ----------

One potential fix for this issue is to clear (delete all files) from the following folder :

/Applications/WarThunderLauncher.app/Contents/WarThunder.app/Contents/Resources/ game/cache"

However, when I go into finder the War Thunder launcher contents folder shows only the folders MacOS and Resources. Each contains one file. It does not show up in the Application Support folder even though the following string from the log suggests that the folders and files are all there;


" 9.37 [D] skipping identical /users/davidmcleod/library/application support/steam/steamapps/common/war thunder/warthunderlauncher.app/contents/warthunder.app/contents/resources/game/ content/pkg_tanks/res/pkg_tanks_tanks/ "


Is there any reason why I can't see the full list of folders or why they aren't actually there despite being able to play the game up until the glitch?

iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)

No, it will open the folder if it is there, regardless of visibility. One thing seems odd about your paths is that they have spaces in them in certain places. That isn’t normal. May just be a copy/paste thing on the forums.

Back up a folder level when you paste into the field, like stop at game in the first, or maybe content in the second.
