[0.17.0] Dyld Error: Symbol Not Found (OS X) - Game Won't Launch

[schloss]

Updated through the game's update button.
When I try to launch in OS 10.10.5 yosemite (latest updates for that release version and not running anything fancy. essentially plain-vanilla OS):

On launch of Factorio, it says:
Factorio cannot be opened because of a problem.
Check with the developer to make sure factorio works with this version of OSX...

Currently trying to download 17.1 but the download site seems stalled.

Executive summary: The game is indeed incompatible with OS X 10.10.5.

Thank you for the link and apologies for not finding the previous thread.
I'm unable to upgrade to the latest OS X.

Thanks for the report.
In 0.17.4, we have added workaround, that seems to solve this issue for other people. 65145
