Could you provide the full logs from Steam when you run the game? The logs you provided seem unusually short.

Also having a problem with starting Quake II remastered with an AMD GPU on Ubuntu I'd like to add more information. This may not be the same problem @dtg01100 has..

Full log of starting steam and launching Quake II remastered: steam_quake2_log.txt Log of Quake II remastered: CRASHLOG.txt

Interesting lines in steam_quake2_log might be:

If not already, this may work now with 2.64 snapd. You can try by refreshing snapd with snap refresh snapd --edge (and restarting). Make sure to go back to stable after testing with snap refresh snapd --stable.
