Pretty sure it's going to come down to Valve using a version of Debian from 2015 for their Steam machines, whereas we support the LTS of Ubuntu (14.06, I think?). Updating the version of glibc would probably sort it. It's possible just updating the OS could do this for you, but I do not know for sure:  https://steamcommunity.com/groups/steamuniverse/discussions/1/1693785035828101326/

 

To be sure, running the game from Terminal and getting the output would be helpful.

I never used Steam Machines, but SteamOS is actively updated by Valve, so if what @EnigmaGrey says, make sure you have it updated.

Current Ubuntu LTS is 18.04 but the game should work fine across various Linux distros (works fine in Arch Linux which isn't officially supported).

 

What SteamOS or kernel version are you using? You can check kernel version from a terminal using uname -r command.
