Starting SpaceChem makes Steam unresponsive #8

Steam just hangs when I click Play on SpaceChem and it's completely unresponsive for as long as I let it run, I need to Force Quit. Here's the Force Quit report:

Hi,

Please open a Terminal, and try the following:

cd Library/Application\ Support/Steam/SteamApps/common/SpaceChem/SpaceChem.app/Contents/Resources
./SpaceChem.bin.osx

What happens then?

If the game is "working", then the game should launch and work but mouse cursor focus will be messed up. That's normal.

If the game starts & then crashes, please go have a look in ~/.local/share/zachtronic industries/spacechem/crashes. There should be some .zicrash files there, which are .zip files containing crash reports. Of interest is the exception.txt file in the most recent.

Also paste whatever happens in the terminal after ./SpaceChem.bin.osx.

(Addendum: based on your crash report, it seems like 'Fix SpaceChem OSX.app' is still running. Please kill it.)

Thanks!
