### Linux - engine.so: cannot enable executable stack as shared object requires: Invalid argument

Since [glibc 2.41, Source SDK 2013's `engine.so` will fail to load](https://github.com/ValveSoftware/portal2/issues/451)
causing the game to not start. To workaround this, go to the Source SDK 2013 Multiplayer's bin directory:

```
~/.steam/steam/steamapps/common/Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer/bin
```

Then make a backup of `engine.so` and use [execstack](https://linux.die.net/man/8/execstack) on it:

```
cp engine.so engine.so.bak
execstack -c engine.so
```

NT;RE should be able to load up normally afterward.
