[SOLVED] Problems running factorio with primusrun in steam

Hi all. Ia have a laptop with intel integrated graphic and nvidia 860m. I followed the wiki about nvidia and bumblebee and got it working:
testing bumblebee with

[du@du ~]$ primusrun glxspheres64
Polygons in scene: 62464 (61 spheres * 1024 polys/spheres)
Visual ID of window: 0x2c1
Context is Direct
OpenGL Renderer: GeForce GTX 860M/PCIe/SSE2
60.152299 frames/sec - 67.129966 Mpixels/sec
57.947493 frames/sec - 64.669402 Mpixels/sec

Also running one game in steam with launch command option primusrun %command% gives me good performances.

But i have really bad performances with game factorio. In my previuous linux box which was linux mint it was running at 60fps, while in arch it runs at 35/40 fps and i am almost 100% sure the cpu is making all the work because the fan goes up as hell (this didn't happen with windows or linux mint).
The strange thing is that while game is running

cat /proc/acpi/bbswitch

says that nvidia card is ON

I really don't know how to investigate further because all seems to working properly

Thanks all for helping

Re: [SOLVED] Problems running factorio with primusrun in steam

I am not sure but i think i solved finding an incorrect /etc/xorg.conf.d/20-modesetting.conf (i put a " instead of : in BusID "pci:00:02:0")
That is really strange, because the other game i have on steam should have been running bad..
