[15.19] [Linux] Crash on startup with steam overlay activated

Expected behaviour:
The game would start up successfully
Actual behaviour:
At a percentage between 10% and 45% (changes each time), the game crashes due to a segfault.

System setup:
CPU: AMD FX-6300 x6
Memory: 8 GB of DDR3
Graphics card: AMD R9 390
Graphics drivers (may be the problem): AMDGPU-PRO
OS: Ubuntu GNOME

In the past hour I have spent googling, I have found many workarounds. However, none work.

Workaround Found!
Disable the steam overlay!

They all have in common that they are running the Steam version on Ubuntu 16.04.

I've found a workaround: disable the steam overlay.

I'm not able to reproduce any crash with the steam overlay on the linux machine we use for testing so unless it can be narrowed to some specific problem in Factorio I'd guess it's some configuration issue with the version of linux you're using (or driver issue).
