I can't play the game. Video runs well, but then I get an error dialog.

Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 78: saw unknown, expected number
/usr/share/themes/dorian/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:1651: error: unexpected identifier `direction', expected character `}'

Game removed: AppID 223530 "Left 4 Dead 2 Beta", ProcID 8548

Seems like Steam is searching for the file in the wrong folder:

/opt/Steam/SteamApps/common/Left 4 Dead 2 Beta/cef_gtk.pak

Actually the file is in:

/opt/Steam/SteamApps/common/Left 4 Dead 2 Beta/left4dead2/cef_gtk.pak

hl2.sh seems to resolve the wrong path. Anyone here who can fix this?

I may get the same bug, with L4D2 and also TF2 (since the last steampipe update). Intros are running, but just after programs quit (but without any error dialog).

Yes, the intro is running. But then it crashes because it's searching for the files in the wrong folder:
##### CTexture::LoadTextureBitsFromFile couldn't find materials/dev/identitylightwarp.vtf
for example.

Seems to affect Bumblebee users while using primusrun steam

I investigated this issue a bit more. I had this output:

failed to dlopen /opt/Steam/SteamApps/common/Left 4 Dead 2 Beta/bin/chromehtml.so error=dlopen: cannot load any more object with static TLS
Could not get chromehtml interfaceQuerying for subscribed files

Then searching the web I found:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14892101/cannot-load-any-more-object-with-static-tls

Doing a

readelf -l "/opt/Steam/SteamApps/common/Left 4 Dead 2 Beta/left4dead2/bin/matchmaking.so" | grep TLS

prints:

TLS 0x0ee000 0x000ee000 0x000ee000 0x00000 0x00018 R 0x4

That's it for now. Maybe someone of you knows better.
