I have installed Starcraft 2 Heart of the Swarm under PoL. Works fine.

Take that out of Linux config. That doesnt need to be in there.

Create a desktop shortcut for the game you are using, and then right-click and edit that shortcut. In there, you will see the path to the command. You should be able to just add optirun before the command to start POL and the game.

When I made that game does not want to run (sometimes after clicking shortcut nothing happens, sometimes I've got SC2 launcher but after clicking "Play" launcher disappears and game do not launch)

Hmmmm. Im still new to the whole optirun thing. I know you can just put it before the command, but Im not too sure on how to work the shortcuts any other way. I dont happen to have a device that requires it. Be a little patient, though. Im sure that someone will chime in regarding. Ill also respond if I have any other information.

Ok, I have ran shortcut command in terminal, here is output: (command 'optirun /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux' and than starting SC2 from PoL window works)

michal@michal-laptop:~$ optirun /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "SC2"
