Issue

The last update to the runtime, in the Beta client branch, removed the 32 bit version of libgomp.so.1. 32 bit games which rely on it and were compiled against the old runtime version no longer run

Steps for reproducing this issue:

Attempt to start Tomb Raider (for example) in a 64bit distro
It will crash saying it couldn't find the libgomp.so.1 shared library
A workaround can be achieved in Ubuntu 16.04.1 and Fedora by installing the libgomp1:i386 and libgomp.i686 packages, respectively.
