Civilization Beyond Earth - Fix for Arch Linux

I love the Civilization series. One of my favourites is Beyond Earth, where luckily a Linux Version exists on Steam. :-)

Unfortunately under Arch Linux this doesn’t work out of the box but needs some fixing. First of all you need to run steam-native, instead of steam. For debugging it’s the best to run it in a terminal. If you start Civ Beyond Earth and end up with a similar error like

/home/user/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth/./CivBE: error while loading shared libraries: libtbb.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

libtbb.so.2 not found error in console window

Then you need to install the lib32-intel-tbb lib from the AUR. I had to enable multilib and install gcc-multilib, but then it build and I could finally start Civilization Beyond Earth.

Civilization Beyond Earth - In game (just at the beginning)

And another victory for the good cause! :-)
