Going as far back as the 14th of February of this year, users have been reporting that Legend of Grimrock won't even start on their Linux powered gaming machines sporting GPUs from the Nvidia GeForce GTX 900 series.
Almost Human, developer of the Legend of Grimrock series, is aware of the issue and has responded.
Nevertheless, a gamer in the equivalent Steam thread who claims to have been in contact with this Almost Human employee had the following to say today.
With Legend of Grimrock 2 being uncertain for Linux, and Legend of Grimrock no longer working for those possessing the newest GPUs from Nvidia, the situation is rather unpleasant.
If you wish to provide feedback, you can do so in Almost Human's forum thread on the matter, or the equivalent Steam thread. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

petriWe are investigating the issue.
My guess is that this is some sort of GLSL shader compilation issue on certain nvidia driver version. Reverting the driver to older version may help.

Dr.DisasterJust got a heads up from Petri in this:
AH has tried hard to get the Linux porter to check into this problem but unfortunately the guy seems either no longer available or able to help. So for the moment there is no solution at hand :-/

While it obviously sucks for those who are suffering from this, I must admit to getting a certain amount of schadenfreude from this. Maybe even a little vindication. ;)
i put a mark on my calendar.. thats the first time i hear that game works with AMD and not with Nvidia!
this day is special i guess.. lets drink!
If this keeps up, I'll make the switch, ending my 14-year NVIDIA-exclusivity!
A porting resource for developers could be good.
so when I run it from terminal I Get:
[wolf@W Legend of Grimrock]$ '/media/ROMS/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Legend of Grimrock/Grimrock.bin.x86'
szCmd: /bin/sh -c '"/home/wolf/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh" steam://run/207170'; &
[wolf@W Legend of Grimrock]$ Running Steam on manjarolinux 0.8.13-rc1 64-bit
STEAM_RUNTIME is disabled by the user
/home/wolf/.local/share/Steam/steam.sh: line 710: LD_LIBRARY_PATH: unbound variable
so lets go on steam.sh
# Need to add /usr/lib32 to the library path to pick up libvdpau_nvidia.so on Ubuntu 12.04
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:/usr/lib32"
on my path /usr/lib32 I dont have such a file libvdpau_nvidia.so :(
the file is located on this path /usr/lib32/vdpau/
I have tried symlinking files. changing paths etc but nothing
even if delete that line 710 it stucks on line 713
# prepend our lib path to LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM:$STEAMROOT/$PLATFORM/panorama:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
if I delete that one as well then it cannot run steam :P
