I have the Steam client installed on my Macbook Pro, and each and every time I shut my Mac down without first quitting the Steam client, the client crashes. While the end result is the same (the client terminates), crashing is a much less elegant affair, and I suppose it could also be potentially harmful. Is there a way to stop this from happening, other than remembering to close the client beforehand? Has anyone else even come across this issue? |

I've found the issue, It's due to a memory leak with the Store. Look at the following link for the fix: http://macformat.techradar.com/blog/steam-for-mac-crashing-try-this-trick/ If you change your client's initial page to something other than the store you should be fine. If you need to use the store, I recommend closing the client and restarting before playing. |

Your Steam client might not have crashed at all. While Steam itself seems a lot more stable today, I believe I remember that happening to the early Mac Steam client versions on my machine, too. I still experience OS X often considering Steam games crashed when they terminate even though they were gracefully exited using the appropriate in-game button. This effect seems strongest with newly released games, triggering a crash report nearly every time a Steam game is exited, but it seems to wear off as the titles grow older, I can't tell if they are being patched or whether OS X remembers them for acting strangely and stops bothering after a time. So, maybe there's nothing to worry about but OS X just can't figure it out and worries in vain. |

I have that to on my windows 7, i think it has to do with the fact that you are connected on the steamcloud, and it kinda crashes because it needs to close the connection. I just press the force close all proceses. |
