[2.1.7] Game does not start in steam on linux

[Rokis]

After updating the game it does not start.
Steam shows game running for a brief moment and it closes.
Game window does not appear, log doesn't record anything.
Restarting the pc and steam did not help

Did you uninstall the old version? apparently this is required...

If you're running an old version of Linux you may need to upgrade (I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 and looks like I need to upgrade to 24.04).

I think this should be considered a bug and not moved to tech help though.

Assuming this is the same problem as in berggen's thread, this is not just an issue with Steam as was suggested there. If this is the same glibc issue, it occurs with the standalone Linux client as well.

Please ensure you are on the latest version of your linux distribution. We upgraded the glibc requirement in 2.1.
