Yup, it is every Mac user, I get the same error. I ran Steam and TF2 to lookout for memory calls. It turns out, there is a huge pointer bug in TF2. It is really broken, probably for a while, a few days at the least, but hopefully it will be sooner.

I assume the message you are talking about looks like this:

If you have a Time Machine backup, revert to an older version of Steam for now.

If it tries to auto-update, hit cancel on anything you see.

Is it just me or has Steam/TF2 been getting less and less stable on osx since they released it?

Nope. It still doesn't work with the Team Fortress 2 game update.

Post update it got farther, but then locked at the start screen. After I force quit it and relaunched it, same error (as OP)
