When on Steam Beta Client, opening settings in Dota 2 causes steam (and therefore Dota) to segfault and crash

Your system information

• System information from steam (Steam -> Help -> System Information) in a gist:
  
• Have you checked for system updates?: Yes
• Are you using the latest stable video driver available for your system? Yes
• Have you verified the game files?: Yes

Please describe your issue in as much detail as possible:

When on the current Steam client beta, launching Dota 2 and opening the settings at any time, or attempting to use the microphone at any time, will cause Steam to crash and Dota 2 will immediately stop responding as well.

Launching with -safe seems to force Steam to immediately restart, and Steam will think that Dota 2 is already running despite this not being the case.

The only relevant line of output when running steam in a terminal seems to be this: .local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 906: 16393 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$STEAMROOT/$STEAMEXEPATH" "$@"

Steps for reproducing this issue:

1. Use Current Steam Client Beta
2. Launch Dota 2
3. Open Settings within Dota 2

Can be fixed by changing Steam Client to non-beta version. Problem still exists when re-opting into beta.

In my case it also crashes the same way whenever I try to use voice chat. Changing to non-beta seems to fix the issue.

I can confirm this as well

Steam non-beta crashes the UI, steam beta crashes dota 2 configs & voice chat

Steam non-beta crashes when changing sound device in settings.

This will be fixed in next beta client update.
