Torchlight 2 doesn't launch for Arch Linux

[wesly]

Torchlight 2 doesn't launch on my Arch Linux anymore. This happens recently.
I saw this error message. Doesn't Torchlight 2 ship with the version of libfontconfig.so it linked to?
/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Torchlight II/ModLauncher.bin.x86_64: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var

CentOS7 w/kernel 4.12: this fix worked for me. So did the above reddit post...

reddit fix:

cd [game directory]
echo "200710" > steam_appid.txt
./ModLauncher.bin.x86_64

Zeadar launch options fix:

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so %command%

It appears to me that for some reason steam tries to load thier 32-bit steam overlay application for 64-bit Torchlight 2 which resuslts in an ELF class error.

A workaround which worked for me is to go Torchlight's properties, clicking set launch options and then add

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_64/gameoverlayrender.so %command%

Thanks. That method works for me.
I found the working libfontconfig.so.1 so I set my launch options like this:

LD_PRELOAD=~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1 %command%

You will brake Steam overlay with method mentioned before. I found a better solution.
Torchlight II uses its own freetype libs, you need just remove them:

rm ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Torchlight\ II/lib64/libfreetype.so.6
rm ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Torchlight\ II/lib/libfreetype.so.6

Also, if you have problems with games, you can run them through the terminal, and see which libraries have errors. After that, check them for availability in the folder with a game and remove them (also look in "ubuntu12_**" folder, if you don't use Steam Native).

This is a common problem on Arch Linux. Fresh libs can conflict with older game-preinstalled versions.

@ArionWT That method doesn't work for me.

Do you launch Native or Runtime version?

Found this post from google. Thnx for your help. Also you could just create symlink to steam bundled version:

cd <path_to_you_library>/steamapps/common/Torchlight II/lib64/

# to create symlink
ln -s ~/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-runtime/amd64/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfontconfig.so.1

[Game? More like Grift.]

still borked...just go into the game folder and rename in both the lib and lib64 fontconfig.so => fontconfig.so.broken and the game will use the system lib and function.

[Game? More like Grift.]

There is no company to fix anything anymore. Given they also sold the rights to someone else you couldn't even petition to have it open sourced. Either way just rename 2 files and it works.

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so.6 %command%

For 64bit system, you need this:

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libfreetype.so.6 %command%

This works for Debian 12 “Bookworm” 64 bit: LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libfreetype.so.6 %command%
