Trying to launch Factorio via Steam. It crashes immediately and takes Steam along with it.

Things I've tried with no success

rebooted my computer, which helped the last time it happened (last Friday)
reinstall Factorio 0.18.2 via Steam
removed all zip files from factorio/mods and updated mod-list.json
uninstall, moved ~/Library/Application\ Support/factorio/ to the phantom zone, reinstall

UPDATE:
I removed the app via Steam and installed the alpha version. It's working properly at the moment, so I'm off to immerse myself in the new sounds. Happy to try things with the Steam client to help debug the crash, if needed.

Hello, it's the other way around. Steam crashes and takes the game with it. Disable Steam Client beta participation and report the crash to Steam, please.

(Maybe just disabling Steam overlay would work too)

Steam stable and no overlay worked. I'll fire off a crash report to Steam.

Cheers!
