Hi Guys,
I can't figure out what is wrong here. All of a sudden steam isn't working with the primusrun command. I've tried it on 2 games and it just doesn't work.
When I run vblank_mode=0 primusrun glxgears I get 3853.539 FPS which means it is working via that test.
Any ideas. I have no idea where to even start on this issue.

Hi,
You can start by giving more relevant information like how you launch your command and it's output.
Regards

I'm not sure how to get more relevant information. Any assistance would help. I'll state what I do.
1. I run steam via the steam-native command on openbox
2. The game launcher option states primusrun %command%
3. That used to run the game via my GPU.
4. Since yesterday my GPU isn't being utilised when playing games.
I don't know where to look for log files related to this issue.

Hi,
Hopefully if you launch steam-native from the terminal, you'll be able to see what's going wrong.
On a side note, is your system fully up-to-date ?

How do you see that it's not running on the GPU ?
Have you checked with `cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch` while it's running ?
Offline
That command isn't working however it now seems to be running. The problem is that I'm not sure what I've done to get it to work. I'll check a couple of things.

In order to get more accurate help, it's useful to precise what's not working, eventually with the error messages you get. Also some bits of information about your setup would help narrow down the issues.

I understand but it's not easy to get an error message that is meaningful in this situation. I use Bumblebee to utilise my Nvidia card. The issue is that Steam doesn't seem to be utilising the Nvidia drivers. The logs that I posted don't appear to provide much meaningful information either.
It's a hard issue to debug.
My set-up excluding steam seems to be okay. It works via different applications but not via steam.

Hi,
Is it a laptop with optimus technology ? Which GPU ? Which drivers are you using ?
You could try to directly launch `primusrun steam-native`.
Maybe the graphical drivers or steam were upgraded recently ?
Why do you think that steam isn't using the GPU, "the game is not working" or "it's running now" are not that useful... It's important to give context.

I'm going to make this as solved but it was solved via reinstalling everything and this thread details what happened:- https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=219624
