Como consertar meia-vida: Problemas de travamento do Alyx no Linux

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

Instruções

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: Alex, navigate to Properties… > General and under Launch Options, digitar:

   LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<caminho>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %comando%

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

5. The game should now be playable!
