So now we'll have to go through the hours-long full reinstall process whenever this gets fixed. And husband won't be pleased when he realizes all his settings are gone since he spent yesterday evening redoing his hotbars and I'm sure forgot to make a backup since he exited the game once he was done... I'd much prefer it if we'd bought the Windows version.
Yeah if it's one thing I learned the last time this happened, a full re-install will not fix the issue and will only compound the problems. It doesn't help you now, but... At least you know for the future and at the very least can warn others.

.... Yanno while also warning potential new players never to purchase this game on Steam.
