So I downloaded the Windows version of Steam and I bought Terraria which is Windows only. I then installed it. When I click the Play icon it does not open. If I try to click the play icon again, it says application already running. Here are some images.

Re: How do I play a Windows game that I downloaded on Steam?
When a Steam app fails to start but a process is still running, killing the process of the app will unblock Steam.
I don't know if there's a process manager on Mac OSX, but opening a terminal and using a mix of ps and kill might work.
As for the Steam app not starting, this is another issue that requires that you post the terminal output of Wine.
Replace whatever with the appropriate path and executable name.
