Bumblebee with Starcraft 2 with Battle.net app

Hello guys,

I'm not sure how to start the Starcraft 2 game with optirun. The game is only started within Blizzard's Batle.net application.

Can someone correct my attempts?

1)

$ optirun //opt/cxoffice/bin/wine --bottle Battle.net_Desktop_App --cx-app "StarCraft II.exe"

I haven't used Bumblebee, more of a Prime user, which works well for my Blizzard games. I did find a good read here for you.
Optirun vs. Primus
It specifically states issues with Optirun and Crossover.

I've switched from ZorinOS to Deepin, and when setting up graphics card, it gives four different options, I chose Prime and the install went flawlessly.
This link suggests trying them both, and there is mention that Bumblebee is depreciated.
Prime or optimus

I'm no genius, I just have plenty of time to research and experiment, (trial by fire, if you will).

God luck, hope it helps.

Hello,
You are using bumblebee, the command optirun will activate your specific graphic card only for the desktop app.
In order to keep it activated, you should use primus.
You will use a command like this one "optirun -b primus <command_to_execute>" or "primusrun <command_to_execute>.
I use the first one (gentoo base os) and it works on my laptop.
Regards
