Cómo arreglar la vida media: Problemas de bloqueo de Alyx en Linux

Trivial fix for a monumental problem — the game not launching. Applies to the native version.

Instrucciones

1. Download an older version of FreeType from here: freetype2-2.10.4-1-x86_64 Arch Linux package
2. Rather than installing the package via the package manager, extract it to a permanent location, preferably under a directory with the name of the package
3. Take note of the path to freetype2-2.10.4-1-x86_64/usr/lib
4. In Steam, under Half-Life: alyx, navigate to Properties… > General and under Launch Options, ingresar:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<camino>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %dominio%

   — replacing <camino> with the path copied in the previous step

5. The game should now be playable!
