I recently downloaded Borderlands 2, however when I click the play button on Steam, the game doesn’t launch. Steam says that I’m playing Borderlands 2 for a second but then stops.
I’m using Xubuntu 15.10 with a GTX 950 using the Nvidia 361.28 drivers.
Same thing for me on Arch with the same driver. With “journalctl -f” I get the following:

Thank you!
