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: [Select]

primusrun glxgears -info
GL_RENDERER   = GeForce 940M/PCIe/SSE2
GL_VERSION    = 4.5.0 NVIDIA 352.79
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!

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).

Yeah maybe try to turn off the intel video card in the bios.

Ye, sorry that I forgot that. Here you:

Code: [Select]

fixme:mountmgr:harddisk_ioctl Unsupported ioctl 2d1400 (device=2d access=0 func=500 method=0)(same output as without primusrun)

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).

When setting up my system, I encountered several issues and even made the system unbootable twice. That's why I'm afraid of playing around with the drivers again - especially since gpu isn't properly supported by nouveau drivers (NV110) yet... I also don't want to risk anything by disabling the internal card software-wise. I wouldn't even know how to do that.

Yeah maybe try to turn off the intel video card in the bios.

There is no option for that in the BIOS. (not even for disabling the discrete gpu)

As expected, that did not fix the issue, but at least the error message is gone now:

Thanks for the hint! It did not fix the issue unfortunately, though. :(

Did you try just using intel gfx? I use arch linux with wine 1.9.4, skylake + nvidia gt 220 and the sandy screen appears but it's less than a second. I also use optirun + primus. I don't use primus by itself because it's slower than you think.

[CCalp]

I think I made some kind of progress... Having updated to linux44 kernel and ran a complete system upgrade (including nvidia driver), the situation is as follows:

optirun wine Soldat.exe
-> "System Error. Code: 127." at main screen of Soldat -> OK
-> "Access violaten at address 00564C0F in module 'Soldat.exe'. Read of address 00000000." when I click "Start Game" or try to close Soldat
And that's the error message I get in console:

Code: [Select]

err:wgl:has_opengl glAccum not found in libGL, disabling OpenGL.
If I use primusrun wine Soldat.exe, however, the issue is just as before: sandy screen.

So at least, there is some error message now. Does that help? :3

BTW: optirun glxspheres64 or optirun glxgears still work flawlessly.

Did you try just using intel gfx?

You mean running wine via intel gpu? Yep, that works without any issues. Have ~130 FPS in Soldat then.

[nouefexe]

use primusrun instead ... did you installed the 32bits nvidia drivers ( lib32-nvidia-libgl ) ? and also... check the bumblebee.conf and see if all the .so paths are correct

[deguix]

When I run soldat I use:

optirun -b primus wine soldat.exe

if I do just primusrun or optirun it will run slow for me...

Now for the sandy screen, it's probably what nouefexe said.

[CCalp]

Yes.

and also... check the bumblebee.conf and see if all the .so paths are correct

PrimusLibraryPath=/usr/lib/primus:/usr/lib32/primus. Both folders do exist but only contain "libGL.so.1" each.
XorgModulePath=/usr/lib/nvidia/xorg/,/usr/lib/xorg/modules. "nvidia_drv.so" is in /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers  -> Do I have to add that specific path (or put the file into /usr/lib/nvidia/) or will it look in the subfolders as well?

Feels like we're getting closer to it...

You probably want to start a 32-bit application with bumblebee on a 64-bit system. See the "For 32-bit..." section in #Installation. If the problem persists or if it is a 64-bit application, try using the primus bridge.

or install debian.. everything works

or install debian.. everything works

I didn't want to say this as my first reply to the thread since people hate switching distros, but.... yeah. Works perfectly for me on Debian 8 / GTX 750. Will I'm sure work perfectly on ubuntu too.
