[2.0.28] Startup hang with no log output on linux

[gridstop]

When launching from Steam, Steam shows the game as 'Running' and 'ps aux' shows the binary running, so it's not just waiting for Steam cloud sync or anything, but nothing ever appears, no game window. I had already run on 2.0.28 a couple times yesterday, so it's not specifically that, but I've never had this before.

There is no log output at all, factorio-current.log does not get updated, it is from my previous session yesterday. Trying to run the factorio binary from a terminal just gives a couple messages about Steam already running and needs to be restarted via Steam, and then goes into the same state.

Is there a way to get some debug/terminal output to see what's actually happening?

Also don't forget to just try rebooting in case you haven't tried it yet
