Steam games not launching on Optimus system

I don’t know if it’s related, but since steam-manjaro was updated a while ago, steam stopped detecting my dedicated nvidia video card. I confirmed it because “nvidia-smi” returned error.

What I did was downgrade steam-manjaro to version 1.0.0.61-7, which is the one that my dedicated card correctly detects.

You can downgrade using pacman -U [thepackage]

The package should be backed up in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/steam-manjaro-1.0.0.61-7-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz or something closer to that version.

I believe it’s come down to the application. I went on their forums for help but the super moderator wasn’t familiar enough with Linux to determine the cause. They believe it’s a module, but I’m not sure how to determine which one it is.

Run Steam from terminal so you have the console output directly. It can help troubleshooting Steam games.

This is what I get when launching Steam through terminal and try to launch Doom

I have the same problem

When starting steam, it simply indicates in terminal that it does not start my dedicated video card (nvidia). I tried optimus and pvkrun, and both fail.

After starting and keeping steam started, I run nvidia-smi, and it tells me that I don’t have my video card booted up.

With the latest version of steam-manjaro (1.0.0.66-1), it returns the following error regarding my dedicated gpu:

PrimusVK: Searching for display GPU:
PrimusVK: 0x56731a60: 
PrimusVK: Got integrated gpu!

For now the only solution is to downgrade to version steam-manjaro 1.0.0.61
