February 22nd update issues.

[frips]

Accidentally clicked on "restart steam" after the popup stole focus away form a window I was typing in. As a result, the update was applied and now steam will not start. It gets to "Connecting to <account>" and then crashes.

Restarting, reinstalling, etc do not fix the issue.

Ditto. Steam crashing for me on two different machines. Happens after the "logging in" window pops up. Here's the dump of the crashed thread in case anyone from Valve is reading this:

I am getting a similar issue. I can launch steam since the update, but I crash the second I try logging into friends.

[ResultzMayVary]

I here too. Have tried a clean install off the steam site, but get the same issue.

[redmoonshine]

yea steam just messed up the mac update and sk just update

[Dark Lyra]

I know that feel bro

[andodel]

Happened to me too, since it was after the update, I knew it must have been that and that I wasn't the only one. Now all we can do is sit and hope Valve fixes it soon.

[redmoonshine]

It won't but you are welcome to try.

For now, I am just using windows in VMware, so no gaming ;D.

[Major Gripex]

Same problem.

Posted this in another thread:

I'm having the exact same problem. It started after Steam downloaded and installed the update today. I've tried deleting every Steam related file, restarting, reinstalling and it still won't open. My crash report is the same as yours - Thread 17 is the one that crashes. It was working fine before the update.

[jedivulcan]

Same.

[jedivulcan]

It's like they didn't bother testing to see if the update actually ran on a Mac.

SteamStartup() failed: SteamStartup(0xf,0x0xbffff1dc) failed with error 1: Failed create pipe: 0

Getting the same error trying to open TF2.
