Can't run game with dedicated nvidia gpu
CCalp:
I have bought a new laptop with the following graphical configuration:
Card-1: Intel Broadwell-U Integrated Graphics HD 5500
Card-2: NVIDIA GM108M [GeForce 940M]
I have installed Manjaro 15.12 64 bit (based on Arch Linux) and the proprietary drivers for nvidia gpu (video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-bumblebee).
By running a program with "primusrun [name]" I can use my dedicated gpu. I can confirm that it's working by using tests like glxgears or the benchmark tool Unigine Heaven. The rendering gets displayed and the gpu is recognized properly.
--- Code: ---primusrun glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER = GeForce 940M/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION = 4.5.0 NVIDIA 352.79
--- End code ---
However, if I run playonlinx with primusrun and want to start a game in Soldat / join a server I only get a sandy-coloured screen (super useful screenshot attached).
Here is the logs.txt from Soldat:

Any ideas on how to fix that?
Let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks in advance!
jrgp:
What if rather than using playonlinux, you remove that layer of abstraction, and just run primusrun wine Soldat.exe?

Thanks for the hint. This procedure, however, leads to the same result unfortunately.
Falcon`:
can you also paste console output? Maybe wine said something interesting.
darDar:
maybe try to disable one of your cards completely and also try use other drivers (there are usually open source drivers available , which often work better than the official ones).
