Please note that I cannot guarantee the effectiveness or safety of any fixes or modifications to game-related issues. However, I can provide you with general instructions based on the information provided.
To address the issue of the game not launching, you can try the following steps:
- Download an older version of FreeType: Visit this link and download the freetype2-2.10.4-1-x86_64 Arch Linux package.
- Extract the package: Instead of installing the package through the package manager, extract its contents to a permanent location on your computer. It’s recommended to choose a directory with the same name as the package for easier reference.
- Note the path to the extracted files: Take note of the path to the “freetype2-2.10.4-1-x86_64/usr/lib” directory where the extracted files are located.
- Open Steam and navigate to Half-Life: Alyx: Locate the game in your Steam library and right-click on it. Select “Properties” from the dropdown menu.
- Access the game’s properties: In the properties window, click on the “General” tab.
- Modify the launch options: Under the “Launch Options” section, enter the following command:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="<path>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" %command%
Replace <path> with the path you noted in step 3.
- Save and launch the game: Click “OK” or “Apply” to save the changes. Try launching the game to see if the issue has been resolved.
Keep in mind that modifying game files and using older versions of libraries can have unintended consequences and may not always resolve the issue. It’s advisable to consult official game support or community forums for more specific guidance tailored to the problem you’re experiencing.
