    Unable to locate steam games on OS X Lion

    I don’t know what the problem is but somehow I am unable to find the games from the steam on my Mac machine . I really hate steam for not having any consistency as the just keep changing the stuff all the time . and now I am not able to find my game . I checked the following location but they are not there either

    Code:
        /Library/Application Support/Steam
        /Documents/Steam Content
        Applications/Steam
    In fact when I search the game it shows nothing . can anyone here tell me what is exactly wrong with the steam and how can I solve this issue, I will be glad .

    Re: Unable to locate steam games on OS X Lion

    I have the same issue on my pc , I had 2 library folders on my computer . one was in the user folder and other was in the hardware . I checked the one in the user name and that dint had the game file and then looked ever where but I was not able to find the issue . then I got to know that the folder in the hard drive is actually hidden by default. Even thought I use the administrator account. And that was the place where the steam kept all its files , so I suggest look for that hard disc library folder . you will find your game there

    Hope this help
