Did you update drivers or kernel recently and do you need to reboot after update?
I updated today and forgot to restart and the game didn't start. After reboot, it worked again. (Don't know the log message, though)

In other case, you should post the full log

It's a fresh downloaded game (I got know about it short before) and no, I haven't uploaded any drivers. I run on an fresh "live" Debian 10

Do you have OpenGL 3.3 capable GPU and graphics drivers?

My graphic card is ATI RS690 [Radeon X1200], so I guess it is
