Steam games only fail to start when i use bumblebee?

My laptop has 2 GPUs: GeForce 840M and Intel's integrated graphics.
I'd like to use my dedicated geforce GPU to play some steam games.
So i got bumblebee installed and I think it's working (I can run "# optirun glxspheres64" and it has increased performance than just "# glxsphere") but steam doesn't work (i think it's because of lib32 problems but I think I got everything installed so I don't know anymore)

I have everything updated considering it's a fresh install.

When I ran steam with bumblebee output:

[quant@arch ~]$ env LD_PRELOAD='/usr/$LIB/libstdc++.so.6 /usr/$LIB/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libxcb.so.1 /usr/$LIB/libgpg-error.so' optirun /usr/bin/steam %U

and the login window looks wierd like this but after loggin everything seems to be ok:

then I login and when i start Counter-Strike: Source this is the output:

and the login window looks normal now:

In this case games start and run OK.

Any help will be apreciated.
Thank you.

Re: Steam games only fail to start when i use bumblebee?

Why are you starting steam with bumblebee? You should be starting steam as normal and prepending optirun/primusrun (use the latter if in doubt, you'll need to install it) to the game's command.

Good question, I thought I had to for games to use dedicated GPU. So to do that I add "optirun" to launch options of each game and they will run using the dedicated GPU?
Thanks.

Your account isn't new, but did you seriously just skip past checking the wiki before posting a question?

Re: Steam games only fail to start when i use bumblebee?

I've checked the whole arch wiki, troubleshooting, this forum and used an evil search engine to find solutions to my problem but no luck. I came here on last resource. There is no mention to this problem anywhere I could find on the internet.

I tried adding "optirun %command%" to the game launch options but obtained the same error:

Re: Steam games only fail to start when i use bumblebee?

I have the same problem.

I fixed for one game: launching Counter-Strike: Source by adding this

LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/nvidia/libGL.so optirun %command%

to the launch options of that game (Right-Mouse-Click the game > Properties > Set Launch Options... ).
This is working for CS:S but Garry's Mod seems to crash using this method, not imediatly after the game launches but when it is loading the inicial screen bar.
