Recent Failure Reports:
I don't see anything unusual in your system specs. There are a number of problems with Intel drivers and it's possible that's what you're hitting, but as other games work you don't have a general problem with the display drivers. No obvious cause at the moment.
If you disable the community overlay in the game properties does that help?
If you disable the community overlay in the game properties does that help?
This does not make a difference.
That's unfortunate as it would have given us a direction to investigate. We'll have to keep investigating from our side, thanks for the responses.
Update: after updating my Steam package and somehow breaking my whole Steam setup I started over and now the game works fine!
Thanks for letting us know, I'm going to close the bug for now.
I'm seeing this issue on Arch Linux 64bit as well - does this help?

I solved this issue for myself (on arch (really manjaro)) by copying the files from the humble bundle tar.gz into the steam install directory. https://github.com/ValveSoftware/steam-for-linux/issues/439#issuecomment-96353794
