Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

I installed Dota 2 on Mac OS Mojave. When I tried to start the game from Steam, a dialog box would up about the game starting up and the dialog box would immediately close.

I managed to start the game from the command line by running

~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/dota\ 2\ beta/game/dota.sh

The game started. I tried to start a bot match. I got my custom loading screen. After that the game crashed.
