Just a heads up, PAYDAY 2 is currently broken again on Linux
10 Oct 2016 at 6:13 pm UTC

Payday2 was always a pain in the a** as its gianormous updates used the same disk space as the whole game, so you need effectively 60GB on your drive, to play and to play again tommorrow after the next update.

Doesn't seem to be the graphics drivers fault then. You should publish the error message produced by steam somewhere.
