Looks like a problem with accessing fonts on your system, anything strange about your setup? Do you have the en_UTF8 loc installed?
Nothing weird about my setup that I know of, it's standard F18 using gnome-shell on x86_64 using spot fedora steam repo. Before reporting this I did a bunch of googling and couldn't find any similar reports so I was also thinking it could be something specific to my setup but as I said I really try and keep everything as standard as possible.
I'm not sure I understand you're question regarding loc can you explain a bit more what you mean?
I don't know the details for your distribution but the game requires that the configuration files for the en_UTF8 locale.
As far as I know (I'm not infront of that machine at the moment) I am using the en_AU.utf8 locate - perhaps this could be the problem? What font is required?
Okay so it seems it was a problem at my end - as I am running on x86_64 I also needed the nvidia driver libraries for i686 installed - ie after a
sudo yum install xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686
It is all working now.
I was having the exact same issue (Fedora 18 x64 and Nvidia card as well), and installing xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i686 solved the problem for me as well. Thanks!
Yet, couldn't the game rely on x64 libraries? Isn't this a (minor) bug?
@Zerwan the game is not 64bit, so no :)
Is this a Fedora packaging bug, why doesn’t that library get installed with the graphics stack?
You're right. I guessed it's not installed because all fedora applications of the x64 version are compiled/packaged for x64.
Anyway, half-life works now \o/ :)
Nothing extracted yet.
