When I try to run it I got a Failed to create Vulkan device: -3

Anyone with the same issue?
I'm running Manjaro 17.1.8 with bumblebee and NVIDIA 390.48 driver

Quoting: michaIs Optimus really a problem if you use the proprietory nvidia drivers? Maybe I'm missing soemthing but I got two notebooks with the technology and Optimus stickers on it. With one I can select dedicated GPU in the bios and with other I simply selected performance mode in the nvidia-settings. Both run all games just fine..

Have you noticed the screentearing? Except if you have xorg server 1.19+ then you are having screentearing. That's the main reason why Nvidia optimus sucks, you stick to the proprietary drivers and burn your eyes with screentearing, or you stick with the mentioned problems with bumblebee (considering that you know how to use it, think about the newbie guys that arrive into linux without knowing anything about this)

It's literally pieces of s*** raining from the sky.

Quoting: STiAT

Quoting: knotted10I'd so delighted on trying Manjaro (XFCE) I think that is the most balanced distro over there. But for me, there's only an issue, I owe a gaming laptop which is not able to boot into manjaro's usb live media. I had to throw everything and go back to mint and screentearing (optimus sucks)

Ye, optimus sucks, and Manjaro currently has a few issues with mhwd as well regarding to Optimus, seems there are no devs with optimus hardware to do the proper testing. For me it worked choosing the non-free option, which even enables the nvidia driver during the boot time.

I'd suggest you try it again once Manjaro 17 is released. They finally are switching to Kernel 4.9 LTS for their install images, which solves a lot of issues booting the install image on several NVidia hardware compared to the released ISO with 4.4 for a variety of NVidia users.

Thanks man, I'll definitely try it.

Quoting: knotted10I've made a research about this issue, it will be fixed on the release for xorg server 1.19, having kernel 4.5+ and latests would fix every screentearing issue for optimus laptops :D
I'm actually waiting for the moment that the arch linux release that xorg version to the stable repos and i'll switch to manjaro right away

That's interesting. Cause, Linux Mint will stick with kernel 4.4 for 2 years until the next LTS of Ubuntu released. Of course it will be possible to install backports but it still will be a hassle for end users.

Quoting: iplaygameswearingatuxGuys who have laptops with two graphics cards: don't waste your time reinstalling drivers. As for now, Nvidia isn't really bothering with optimizing drivers for laptops. Editing xorg.conf seems like the only way to go for us; but I don't know if it would work.

Yeah, I figured that out long time ago. But finding a magical xorg.conf for the exact hardware is quite hard...

for me was pretty straight forward: open update manager --> view --> linux kernels --> selected 4.5

Quoting: TwombyWasn't able to upgrade to latest version. Got a bunch of issues with the installer under Mint 18.1. Reverted back to 367.57 for the time being, but will definitely try again when I have more time on my hands. Thanks for this article and for the support provided by commenters!

You most probably have Nvidia/Intel hybrid laptop just like me. I am having the same "x screen 0 (no scanout)" screen name with GeForce 940M on Ubuntu 16.04 based Mint 18.1 for no reason. I can even use my Philips 32" TV as a HDMI output via system's default "mate-display-properties" while using proprietary Nvidia drivers. I have Nvidia driver 375.26 installed via "Proprietary GPU Drivers : “Graphics Drivers” team" PPA. I even tried several lower version drivers; no go... I will try Ubuntu Mate 16.10 soon, but I do not expect any difference; cause the problem exists also in Mint 17.3...

Not working on my optimus laptop, I have the same problem @Twomby has, even with the latest drivers (375.26)

I think that I'll need to wait until xorg server 1.19 comes out to stop seeing the damn annoying screen tearing

Totally agree with this comment ^

This game is in my wishlist but I'm still not decided to buy it. Probably will wait until final release.
