>>107499393By turning pre caching off
change your settings to make it use more cpu threads.
>>107499393Everyone, pls turn that shit off, unless your have a steam deck/machine, rog ally or other handhelds. Those are pre compiled shaders for your specific hardware, it helps on low end devices, but if you have a decent PC, you don't really need it.Pre shader cache is a dream, but only if everyone is running the same hardware. Thats why Consoles are so "great" and the Steam Deck/Machine.
>>107499393>delays your windows gayming experience by gorillions of years
I don't have an old CPU, so....
>>107499393>I spent 8 hours waiting for muh vulkan shadersHoly shit you retard just fucking skip. It makes literally no difference when you're not on potato hardware
>>107499393>Several minutesPotato processor
>>107499560>>107499726The fucking retards at Valve tied the converted media files needed for some games to the shader cache. I have to either let Steam download & process shaders over and over again for no real gain or I won't be able to play some weebshit games that crash on cutscenes. People have been complaining about it on the Proton issue tracker for years.
>>107499393It avoids potential stutter while playing the game. On Windows that stutter risk is always there with no option to process shaders upfront.Probably less relevant for a D3D9 game like this so you can skip it like others have said.
>>107501330Just use ProtonGE that has MS media foundation or what included and it works in drm games too (Blue Archive)
>>107501330using specific proton versions should work. if you use experimental you will be asked to redownload the shaders over and over with every proton experimental update
>>107500239>>107500272what cpu do you use?
