Have you tried allowing background processing of Vulkan shaders?
What does this processing even mean? What’s it doing before the game launches?
mihawk90 explains it here really well. I’m too dumb to summerise this
Every single time I launch Skyrim it wants to compile shaders.
First time I let it run its course, it took 30 minutes.
Second time I thought it should be faster. Nope, 30 minutes.
Now I just skip it.
Then I have to click “no” on a popup window that says “Steam is not responding, want to kill it?” 5-6 times.
Then it launches normally.Linux verified, Gold rating on ProtonDB btw 👍
(still no clue what shaders are or why they need to be compiled at launch)
There is an option in steam which caches(saves) a version of the shaders so you don’t have to download it every time you launche.
Just checked, I have 4GB of shaders stored, but it doesn’t seem to help.
It doesn’t help me either
