Access Violation while trying to play WoW w/ bumblebee

Hi,

I am trying to play World of Warcraft on my Asus N55SF laptop but if I try to run WoW with optirun the game crashes.

System Spec:
Asus N55SF-1232V
Intel Core i7 2670QM
8 GB RAM
Geforce GT 555M

If i run

wine Wow.exe

everything is fine, but as soon as I enter it like this

optirun wine Wow.exe

the game crashes instantly (I get the cursor, after that -> Access Violation).

This is the error I get:

==============================================================================

Re: Access Violation while trying to play WoW w/ bumblebee

#1. Do you actually require bumblebee (Optimus enabled?)
#2. Do you have lib32-virtualgl? (Required)
#3. Do you have the bumblebee daemon running?

0xFFFFFFFF is either bad memory or a program trying to access memory that it doesn't have access too. (Someone can correct me if I'm wrong)

Re: Access Violation while trying to play WoW w/ bumblebee

#1. Do you actually require bumblebee (Optimus enabled?)

Could you clarify this for me? What does it mean to "require" bumblebee. According to ASUS N55SF I should install bumblebee. And I can launch other stuff like glxgears.

#2. Do you have lib32-virtualgl? (Required)

Yes I do:

Name           : lib32-virtualgl
Version        : 2.3-3
URL            : http://virtualgl.org
Licenses       : LGPL
Groups         : None
Provides       : None
Depends On     : virtualgl  lib32-libxv  lib32-libjpeg  lib32-mesa  lib32-libx11  lib32-libxext  lib32-libxau
Optional Deps  : None
Required By    : None
Conflicts With : virtualgl32-bin
Replaces       : None
Installed Size : 576.00 KiB
Packager       : Unknown Packager
Architecture   : x86_64
Build Date     : Fri 11 May 2012 05:35:20 PM CEST
Install Date   : Fri 11 May 2012 05:35:25 PM CEST
Install Reason : Explicitly installed
Install Script : No
Description    : 32-bit serverside components for 64-bit VirtualGL servers.

#3. Do you have the bumblebee daemon running?

Yes it does:

[javex@archlaptop ~]$ rc.d list | grep bumblebeed
[STARTED][AUTO] bumblebeed

Re: Access Violation while trying to play WoW w/ bumblebee

Nevermind, I was reading something and it looked like there was an option to enable Optimus in your BIOS, but I think I was wrong on that part.

Anyways, I did a search to see if I could help at all, this is what I found : http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30662

The guy was having crashes using Optimus and Optirun, but I checked his threat at Ubuntu and he got it all in-game and working. I suggest checking that out, and has a link to his ubuntu post.
