Torchlight II/ModLauncher.bin.x86_64: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var
Hello @als-creator, when Steam launches any game, it LD_PRELOADs a 32 bit and 64 bit variant of the Steam overlay. One silently gets loaded while the other fails harmlessly. This is a red herring and not your issue.
Instead, /mnt/Work/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/Torchlight II/ModLauncher.bin.x86_64: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1: undefined symbol: FT_Done_MM_Var is the line to focus on in your log and is similar to #6234. This issue should be reported to the game's developer(s).
this problem does not have one specific game, but all that work through proton, regardless of whether it is on ntfs or ext4, I have now tried setting the line “LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so %command%” as launch parameters "for several games, this does not solve the problem, in addition, I tried installing proton experimental and proton ge, this also did not solve the problem
I launched the game torchlight 2 with the parameter "LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libfreetype.so %command%", it works on xorg and wayland, but other games do not start, minion masters gives an error

pressure-vessel-wrap[5856]: W: Binding directories that are located under "/usr/" is not supported! is https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-runtime/issues/288#issuecomment-754151275 and is unrelated to your opening post.
@als-creator "ModLauncher.bin.x86_64" is a native linux app, and you're not using proton.
This is the steam runtime directly running the game:
/bin/sh\0-c\0/home/als/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/reaper SteamLaunch AppId=200710 -- /home/als/.local/share/Steam/ubuntu12_32/steam-launch-wrapper -- '/mnt/Work/Games/Steam/steamapps/common/Torchlight II/ModLauncher.bin.x86_64'\0
Your system is missing /usr/lib/libfontconfig.so.1 it's either in a different location or you're missing a symlink.
i.e. /usr/lib/ should contain depending on the version, these two links, and a 64bit dynamic library.
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 1018 Jan 1 1970 libfontconfig.la
lrwxrwxrwx 15 root root 23 Jan 1 1970 libfontconfig.so -> libfontconfig.so.1.12.1
lrwxrwxrwx 15 root root 23 Jan 1 1970 libfontconfig.so.1 -> libfontconfig.so.1.12.1
-r-xr-xr-x 2 root root 345K Jan 1 1970 libfontconfig.so.1.12.1
file: libfontconfig.so.1.12.1: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, not stripped
You can also just try forcing the steam runtime:
Better yet, I would highly recommend you moving to a more establish Linux distro, ArcoLinux's confusing website leaves me thinking that your problems stem from ArcoLinux, Use ArchLinux, Ubuntu, or Fedora.
Thank you, it’s no longer relevant to me, maybe someone else will need it
I had to rename the libfreetype.so file bundled with the game to fix the issue.
# cd <Torchlight II>
mv lib64/libfreetype.so.6{,.bak}
If the launcher doesn't show up, try updating the Launch Options as follows
LD_PRELOAD= %command%
It looks like gameoverlayrenderer.so conflicts with it. However, the Steam Overlay is not available while playing the game.
I encountered the issue with gameoverlayrenderer.so on Fedora 42. On Ubuntu 25.04 (running in a virtual machine), the launcher appeared without any modifications to the launch options.

I googled that the problem could be with the bit capacity of the libraries, but didn’t find a working solution, what can I do?
