Hi guys,
I want to run only specific games with the 'primusrun' command. After searching for a solution I've only found POL_Config_Write PRE_WINE 'primusrun' but this forces every game to be run with 'primusrun'.
e.g.: For Hearthstone I don't need to run the game with 'primusrun' and for Diablo III I want to use 'primusrun' to have nice graphics. |

Hi, That was tried for integrated hybrid graphics support in PlayOnLinux 4.1.0 and soon removed as it broke the way PlayOnLinux controls processes. So I don't think it'll work that way, but any suggestion welcome.

So this is not possible at the moment? The only way to achieve this is to "POL_Config_Delete PRE_WINE" and start POL from console with 'primusrun POL game' if needed?

There is a trick/solution. I'm also using a laptop which needs bumblebee to run. I edit the .desktop files to decide if it should run with or without primus. If you don't have your shortcuts anymore, create a new one using the playonlinux gui.
Here's what for example my playonlinux-Guildwars2.desktop looks like:
[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=Guild Wars 2
Comment=PlayOnLinux
Type=Application
Exec=optirun /usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux --run "Guild Wars 2" %F
Icon=/home/dionysius/.PlayOnLinux//icones/full_size/Guild Wars 2
Name[fr_FR]=Guild Wars 2
StartupWMClass=Gw2.exe
Categories=Game;RolePlaying;
So in the Exec line you can decide if you want opti-/primus-run or not.

I found out it is game dependend how to use optirun/primus run.
Some games like farcry 2 i also put primusrun in the shortcut to start the game.
In Ubuntu you can use the main menu app for it.
But for Diablo 3 that would not work at all.
I posted a tuto on it a while back.
Will be updating it shortly, cause i just had to reinstall my laptop...
