    the apple m2 doesn't support 32bit applications but runs on the website client. I'm wondering if we can get some steam client support as it won't launch there due to this. (i need steam client to login online to my account)

    5 year plus sub here and may stop playing now due to financial reasons. (gaming computer died) and only can use my Mac now.

    The two clients are identical they're just delivered differently.

    There is no website client. The game runs natively. They currently don't have a native client for M1/2 (that I know of) so you need to run it through the compatibility layer.

    Even if there's a 32 bit client (there is on Linux anyway), it's unplayable due to memory limitation, so always use the 64 bit client.

    The Mac Client on Steam is mislabeled. It is 64bit.

    No idea exactly where the setting is on the Steam side. But, this is the message that shows on the game page.
