On the two occasions one of the things that might be useful to know is how was the Wifi network I was in.
I was on a college wireless network. So, there were several access points sharing the exact same SSID (each different Wifi network with its own MAC address) along with a portal wwhich required login with my student credentials. On the specific spot I got to be during class the reception was pretty bad and Steam managed to crash. That though only applied to the first crash.

On the second crash I got to stay on a different place with access to one of those college Wifi networks, and then got on the move, at some point between them the second crash occurred.

Both crashes made me lose significant progress.

The first crash seems to be related to dbus somehow, so it might be useful to know I'm running dbus-broker 20-1

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Be on a unrealible Wifi network (such as being on a place with bad reception)
Play a game
Play for as long as you are able to
