Try launching steam with primusrun instead.
It doesn't really matter, Steam launches but the games are still crashing
Bumblebee doesn't support Vulkan iirc

The game have an OpenGL renderer, it doesn't require Vulkan, and also the game worked fine until the update to the latest drivers
Hello @Socterean, this should also be brought to the attention of the video driver vendor if it has not been already.
I was having a similar issue with getting a game to run on my HP Zbook which uses optimus. Can you launch the game without using primus run, but enabling the dGPU only using Nvidia's xserver settings?
I don't have Euro Truck Simulator so I can't try it. But I tried both optirun %command% and primusrun %command% with NEKOPARA Vol. 0 and it launched and could be played just fine.
I can confirm that I have encountered this issue (with all my games) but it has disappeared after updating the packages. I'm not sure which one fixed it.
I am also using Manjaro, so try to check the updates. Now I can run the game via "optirun %command%" using the MX150 instead of the integrated graphics.
Burnout paradise can't use dedicated GPU

Running on a Nvidia GTX 960m that has an Optimus setup. Currently using the options a stock Ubuntu installation has for it.
On Burnout Paradise there's a config screen when in Windows I could select which card to run. In Proton I can only select the integrated GPU, leading to a heavily downgraded experience.

Try changing the launch options to include the bumblebee launcher or whatever it is you normally run GL titles with?
optirun %command%
Same here with Doom 3; Fine with Intel GPU, dies with primusrun %command%
I'm trying to launch "The Witcher 3" using primusrun %command% and optirun %command%, but the game starts using Intel GPU instead of Nvidia GTX 950M.
I don't have Euro Truck Simulator so I can't try it. But I tried both
optirun %command%andprimusrun %command%with NEKOPARA Vol. 0 and it launched and could be played just fine.
I using the command: optirun -b primus %command%
It works
For some reason primusrun is an unknown command for me. When adding optirun to launch options, it doesn't open. When using optirun -b primus %command%, same thing.
Proton with vulkan will not work with bumblebee. You guys must either use PRIME (Ubuntu, Mint) or nvidia-xrun.
@jersobh Getting X Server error 'no screens found' when running nvidia-xrun in TTY
@jellz , have you set
Option “AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration” “Yes”
Option “UseDisplayDevice” “none”
and changed the busid for your own busid?
BusID “PCI:1:0:0” # !! change to your busid !!
?
I changed the Bus ID to the one in the config instead of the one in my lspci output (mine didn't have "PCI"), and now I am greeted with an unresponsive black screen + cursor.
@jellz that's the openbox default screen. Just right click and the menu should appear.
Nope, it’s entirely unresponsive. The cursor does not move at all. I also tried using obmenu-generator and it didn’t change anything
@jellz what is the output of $ lspci | grep NVIDIA?
You should keep the PCI thing. Mine, for eg.: is 03:00.0
so my config is
BusID "PCI:3:0:0"
Yes, mine is 01:00.0 so I did PCI:1:0:0
Sorry for letting go out of hand without reporting on the issue for so long. The issue is no longer relevant because after the next Manjaro update all things worked fine again. I suspect it was a bumblebee issue but I am not really sure.
A few mentions:
using primusrun on any game that requires DX11 would not work because bumblebee doesn't support Vulkan so games that would require DXVK to run would simply not work. Also bumblebee doesn't enable the Nvidia card to run at the full strenght.
I have since started to use optimus-manager on Manjaro which gives me the abillity to actually switch cards when I want to game. I just switch to the Nvidia card when I want to, gaining access to using Vulkan, so I can play any games that run on my card.
Those things being said the issue for me is closed.
In case anyone wants primusrun / pvkrun / any wrapper that uses LD_PRELOAD and/or LD_LIBRARY_PATH to work with Proton when ran from Steam, you can try my hack!
pressure-vent.sh https://gist.github.com/evg-zhabotinsky/cd54c8d8bf3803599d3b33cc56e6fbc0
Long story short: Proton forces use of the Soldier runtime that is packed in a "Pressure Vessel" container, and the latter seems to just wipe LD_PRELOAD and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The script cuts the container out of command line, leaving only Proton and the game. You will have to install all dependencies manually, though.
There is currently an ongoing issue which I have reported on Wine forums also. Recent updates to the latest Nvidia drivers and Bumblebee drivers crash every game when using primusrun on them, the games work however without primusrun. I have reported the issue on Wine forums 3 days ago, and now I have tried the same games and a few others under Steam Play feature with the same outcome, the games crash or simply don't open when using primusrun or optirun.
For example, when trying to run Euro Truck Simulator with primusrun in Wine I receive an error stating "Game files corrupted. Please reinstall from CD", the same error appears when trying to run the game with Proton using primusrun.
