It is probably already fixed. You should try the git head. Or ask Arch maintainers to cherrypick it.

If it did not, we would need a backtrace with debugging info installed.

I have got very good news. The games are all working very fine when compiling freetype2 from source from the unstable git via Arch Build System. Sorry for this false bug report, its Arch Linux's patches that didn't do what they seemed. Issue can be closed as it does not exist any more.

Thanks for your help. I will report the bugs to the games, for now, Im trying to build freetype2 from git via Arch Build System
(using https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/freetype/freetype2.git - is that correct?) and see if it helps.

OK.  So please go on and submit bug reports to those games!

Legend of grmrock crashes right after it starts.
CS:GO and DOTA2 will not render any fonts, but they will start up successfully.

Thanks for the information.  However, I can't do anything with it.  Please contact the developers of those games and report the problems you are experiencing; maybe they can find out why even the current git doesn't work as expected.

Titles like CS:GO, Legend of Grimrock, DOTA2, and many others got completely borked when installing freetype2 2.10.0 (Arch Linux).
When downgrading to 2.9.1, everything works as expected.
This behavoir was not fixed by this commit: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=c149f7397e484c97f45fb75fa1c7fdda2fc646cd
