Steam error when using nvidia from optimus manager

Im new to manjaro. I installed drivers from the manjaro settings. When i run steam from nvidia of optimus manager i get this error

SteamUpdateUI: An X Error occurred
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)

Is there a reason you want to go full nvidia instead of hybrid? Maybe hybrid is more ideal for you,everything render on your intel/amd and when you want to game is render on the nvidia,maybe that also can fix that error.

For example to use the nvidia card in hybrid mode,you type prime-run [name of the app]

prime-run steam

But I recommend you go to the game on steam,right click on the game and in the launch options you type

prime-run %command%

,that way the game will automatically use the nvidia card,quit the window and try launching the game,that way the game wil auto the nvidia card automatically.
