This last major update was really rough on me. I’m just a normal person so it took many hours of work, but I think I have fixed most of the stuff that was broken… except for my Steam games. Steam itself didn’t even want to start after the update, but I’ve gotten it to the point where it starts every time. However, while the Steam client (Beta version, in case that’s relevant) starts, many games don’t, even games that were starting and working just fine before the update.
I’m told this is the place to go for this kind of issue.
I’ll try to be as thorough as possible with the logs, providing one for each step of the process.
First, I start Steam.

I’m told all the ELFCLASS errors are normal, apparently it tries using both 32 and 64 bit versions but discards whichever one is inappropriate.
Finally I click on “Lauch” to attempt to start the game:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/home/MYUSERNAME/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrenderer.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64): ignored.

The screen flashes black for a fraction of a second and the game does not start.
Do any of these error messages point at a problem that is fixable?
I greatly appreciate any assistance. I’m at the end of my rope here.
