total war launcher failed to initialize steam

Since elo system is tightly interwoven with the Steam client, I guess that's where the problem lies. I play this game regularly via Crossover and the elo bug is not present there - I presume because the Steam client itself is part of the wine 'bottle' and it is the windows version of Steam client that is also emulated.

The game is completely playable except for the ELO bug in multiplayer. Issue 1: ELO system is not behaving properly - the game 'thinks' that elo is 0:0 and reports it as out of bounds at selecting multiplayer and after every played multiplayer game it tries to add/subtract elo points to/from 0:0 values which still makes them out of bounds and elo finally gets reset to 1600 every time.

The game works if 'AoK HD.exe' is renamed into 'Launcher.exe' and nostartup is added into launch options.
