When launched through Steam, "Service exited with abnormal code: 1" #11

Hi there.

When I launch the game from the Steam UI, I get the Steam "Preparing to launch SpaceChem" window briefly, and my status changes to "In-Game SpaceChem" for about a second, but then reverts back to "Online" in the Steam Friends list window. No other window appears. In Console, I see only the entry

 2017-01-07 11:01:27.618 AM com.apple.xpc.launchd[1]: (com.zachtronicsindustries.SpaceChem.256352[32902]) Service exited with abnormal code: 1

If I launch the SpaceChem.bin.osx from ~/Library/Application\ Support/Steam/steamapps/common/SpaceChem/SpaceChem.app/Contents/Resources/ the game runs, but the mouse is messed up.

There is no crashes directory in ~/.local/share/zachtronics industries/spacechem

I don't know why this happens.

The mouse being messed up on a direct launch is expected; we have to get launched as a '.app' or via Steam for things to work properly.

Maybe double-clicking SpaceChem.app would do the trick, effectively launching outside Steam but being enough of a real app that the mouse works? Can't remember.
