Quoting: AnxiousInfusionARK: Survival Evolved devs have also expressed interest in a Vulkan update once UE4 supports it. The Windows build is getting DX12 in a few weeks so it would be nice to keep pace.

 .local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored.

Is the only error it throws. Seem to remember another game used to do this but forgot which one.
