Civilization 6 freezes on loading screen

Hello, I’ve just bought Civilization VI on Steam and it is giving me a hard time to run it.

After reading this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223005, I have downloaded the libs required by steam native and it runs successfullly.
The downloaded libs are:

	lib32-libxtst
	lib32-glib2
	lib32-libxrandr
	lib32-gtk2
	lib32-libpulse
	lib32-openal
	libcurl-compat 
	lib32-libcurl-compat
	lib32-dbus-glib
	lib32-libnm-glib
	lib32-libusb
	lib32-libudev0-shim
	lib32-libcurl-gnutls

However, when I attempt to launch Civ 6 on steam-native the game freezes on “Loading, please wait” screen. If I don’t kill the process after one minute (or so), my computer freezes and I have to shut it down by force (holding the power button).
Note: on Windows, Civ 6 doesn’t stay on  “Loading, please wait” screen for more than 10 seconds.

The output of ldd Civ 6 is:

I have also followed the instructions of the wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/St … ization_VI, which says to add:

env LD_PRELOAD='./libcxxrt.so:/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6' %command%

to my launch options. It also says to disable:

Steam Overlay while in-game.

Even though I’m using Intel Core i7, which is not supported by Civilization 6, it is possible to make it run according to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=223005.

Some hardware information:

-Processors-
4 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-5500U CPU @ 2.40GHz : 2394.52MHz

-RAM-
8GB ddr3

Thank you.
