Attempt to free invalid pointer, manjaro linux native build

[GoodDays13]

Details

Whenever I try to start the native Linux build recently on Manjaro, it immediately aborts and core dumps. I recently changed GPU from NVIDIA to AMD, so I don't know if it's related. I have tried verifying and reinstalling the game, X11, Wayland, reinstalling Steam, and changing from linux66 to linux65. Nothing seems to fix it.

More than one entry matches, ignoring rest.

Steps to reproduce

Start the game or run hl2.sh. I don't really know what caused it, it was working before.

This has happened with all games running on the Source 1 engine as per this issue after the LLVM 16 update.

The solution would be to use a replacement libtcmalloc_minimal.so.4 library under steamapps/common/GarrysMod/bin, which in your case on an Arch-based distro can be obtained from the lib32-gperftools AUR package.
