Running XCOM: Enemy unknown on Arch

Question

Hi!
I have a problem with running XCOM. To put it simply it doesn't start.
1) I followed the instructions here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Steam
I installed the required drivers from the Installation chapter.
I renamed libraries
libstdc++ libgcc_s libgcc_s libstdc++
so Steam has to use newer ones.
2) I run Steam in native runtime:
STEAM_RUNTIME=0 steam
The following command doesn't output anything (I installed the libraries from AUR):
cd ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=".:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}" ldd $(file *|sed '/ELF/!d;s/:.*//g')|grep 'not found'|sort|uniq
3) As a result the following happens when I try to start XCOM:
3a) I see errors:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/melon/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.
pid 29091 != 29090, skipping destruction (fork without exec?)
[cut]
Setting breakpad minidump AppID = 200510
Steam_SetMinidumpSteamID: Caching Steam ID: 76561198079084106 [API loaded no]
Installing breakpad exception handler for appid(gameoverlayui)/version(20140813141643)
3b) Then the XCOM logo appears
3c) The logo disappears and the message appears:
Game removed: AppID 200510 "XCOM: Enemy Unknown", ProcID 29098
Could someone prod me to some direction? I don't have a clue where to go next.

I have the same issue over here. I tryed to run it with command 
konsole --hold -e '%command%'
from steam
This is the only output I get:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/matteo/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Please say something if you find a clue to what's happening
