Optirun error: Cannot access secondary GPU, Unknown chipset: NV117

The un-edited error is:

 
 2477.216268] [ERROR]Cannot access secondary GPU - error: [XORG] (EE) Unknown chipset: NV117
[ 2477.216291] [ERROR]Aborting because fallback start is disabled.

I get this every time I run:

 optirun glxgears 

I have the latest version of bumblebee installed using the Pacman package manager/installer.
Running

 glxgears 

runs fine, I assume that is because that runs on my intergrated gpu on my Intel CPU.

These are my specs:

GPU: NVIDIA Corporation GM107M [GeForce GTX 850M]
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4200H CPU @ 2.80GHz

If you want to know more about my pc it's an: Asus RoG G551JK.

All help is appreciated and thanks in advance!

Please check the Bumblebee wiki page to verify you have everything necessary installed.
Once that's certain, follow the rest of that page.
