Like in comment 72, sending pkill -CONT "hl2.exe" is a good workaround. You
only have to issue it once when it freezes, after that it works for as long as
you play. I played 3 hours straight when I figured this out(I was so glad to
have finally found a way to make it work).

Just SSH in from another computer(a laptop nearby comes in handy), then launch
the game from Steam. As soon as it hangs, issue the 'pkill -CONT "hl2.exe"'
command. Then you can close the SSH, if you want.
