Modded Steam game crashes on start, Steam API does not load, cannot read core dump

I have the latest version of Empire: Total War in Steam on Arch Linux x86_64. I have followed this Reddit guide to install DME. I have gone through each and every step (except the optional ones) and the game failed to start on launch. --- Here are my specs: **$ inxi -SPARM -GCDN -v1 -xGCRS** System: Host: archlinux Kernel: 4.12.4-1-ARCH x86_64 (64 bit gcc: 7.1.1) Desktop: Gnome 3.24.3 (Gtk 3.22.18) Distro: Arch Linux Machine: Device: desktop Mobo: ASUSTeK model: P5Q PRO TURBO v: Rev 1.xx BIOS: American Megatrends v: 0701 date: 10/08/2012 CPU: Quad core Intel Core2 Quad Q6600 (Core 2 rev.11) (-MCP-) cache: 4096 KB flags: (lm nx sse sse2 sse3 ssse3 vmx) bmips: 19207 clock speeds: max: 2403 MHz 1: 2403 MHz 2: 1603 MHz 3: 2136 MHz 4: 1603 MHz Graphics: Card: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Juniper XT [Radeon HD 5770] bus-ID: 01:00.0 Display Server: N/A driver: radeon tty size: 131x87 Audio: Card-1 Advanced Micro Devices [AMD/ATI] Juniper HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 5700 Series] driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 01:00.1 Card-2 Intel 82801JI (ICH10 Family) HD Audio Controller driver: snd_hda_intel bus-ID: 00:1b.0 Sound: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture v: k4.12.4-1-ARCH Network: Card: Qualcomm Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet driver: ATL1E port: cc00 bus-ID: 02:00.0 Drives: HDD Total Size: 1500.3GB (4.3% used) ID-1: /dev/sda model: WDC_WD5000AAKS size: 500.1GB ID-2: /dev/sdb model: ST1000LM024_HN size: 1000.2GB Partition: ID-1: / size: 457G used: 60G (14%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda3 ID-2: /boot size: 202M used: 58M (31%) fs: ext4 dev: /dev/sda1 ID-3: swap-1 size: 0.54GB used: 0.06GB (11%) fs: swap dev: /dev/sda4 RAID: No RAID data: /proc/mdstat missing-is md_mod kernel module loaded?

I can't seem to progress without trying to find out what lies in hte code dump file. In any case, I'm trying find why the Steam game crashes at this point.
