Dota 2 and Dota 2 Reborn on Arch

I am totally new to arch, and I am trying to get Dota 2 running. So far I've installed Bumblebee + nvidia + intel drivers, I've installed steam and Dota 2 (Reborn also), I've set launch options for Dota to primusrun %command% -console.

Case 1: STEAM_RUNTIME=0 - When I start dota2 all I get is a black screen. As for reborn, it says it can't find libpangoft2-1.0.so.0 even though I have lib32-pango installed.

Case 2: STEAM_RUNTIME=1 - Same result with dota2. Reborn however launches in this case, I get the loading screen, then it crashes saying seg fault.

Can you guys help me please

Edit: So I managed to get dota working, basically by reinstalling everything and also adding pulseaudio to the mix. Now my problem is low fps. When the game starts it runs at 60 fps, but when I am playing, it frequently drops to <20. Windows 10 on dual boot has no problem maintaining 60 fps constant, so it's not a hardware issue. I also have screen tearing when watching videos with VLC.

My graphics card is Nvidia GTX860M. I am running proprietary driver 352.30-3, bumblebee and all the things like intel-xf86, mesa, etc. I launch dota with primusrun. I have also tried launching vlc both with and without primusrun, screen tearing is present in both cases.

Here is glxinfo | grep OpenGL

OpenGL vendor string: Intel Open Source Technology Center
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) Haswell Mobile
OpenGL core profile version string: 3.3 (Core Profile) Mesa 10.6.4
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 3.30
OpenGL core profile context flags: (none)
OpenGL core profile profile mask: core profile
OpenGL core profile extensions:
OpenGL version string: 3.0 Mesa 10.6.4
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.30
OpenGL context flags: (none)
OpenGL extensions:
OpenGL ES profile version string: OpenGL ES 3.0 Mesa 10.6.4
OpenGL ES profile shading language version string: OpenGL ES GLSL ES 3.00
OpenGL ES profile extensions:

And here is glxinfo | grep direct

direct rendering: Yes
    GL_ARB_direct_state_access, GL_ARB_draw_buffers,

No problem I actually managed to get it to work. Reborn still gives me "libpangoft not found", but at least dota is working. I'll update details in question

Did you get it running? I can't get steam to go past the connection point with STEAM_RUNTIME=0.

Yep works with both STEAM_RUNTIME=0 and 1. Is there any error shown in your terminal?

I'll try running Steam with no runtime when I get a chance but it's segmentation fault problem.
