I suppose this is some kind of steam related crash so I registered i ticket with steam but since I haven't got any answer I might also ask here if anyone have encountered this problem and maybe have a solution.

In about every other session with the game since I got BNW it freezes on me and all I can do is restart the computer. After restart there is an error message from the game about "This game needs steam". - Screenshot of the full error message attached.

I'm on a mac OSX 10.8.4.

So far I've made the following observations:
- This never happened before BNW
- It has happened a couple of times when browsing the tech tree, once when comparing available trade routes.
- It also happens when I tun steam in offline mode.

If I hear something from steam support I'll post it. Many thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to share any similar experiences and/or tips.

So I got an answer from steam about three weeks ago. They told me to "delete all of the files in this folder [Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam] except for SteamApps and Userdata."

After I did this the problem disappeared but now it happened again. Maybe I'll have to do this every now and then or completely reinstall. :-(
