linux vulkan shaders

[oldschooldiablo]

why do vulkan shaders need to process everytime i go launch the poe

Wondering the same. I have however noticed no problem at all if i just press skip to play directly

If you are updating the vulkan drivers ( Nvidia, Mesa, AMDVLK ) regulary like I do with mesa-git, steam checks if the drivers have changed, if so, it recompiles the shaders

I don't usually skip this process

although today I've noticed PoE taking alot longer than usual and the shader download I did for PoE earlier today as 4.3GB... wtf

i dont skip this eather it just randomly started happening even before i was using vulcan setting in the game. i too have noticed its taking longer each time.

https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Proton/issues/58 Might want to post it here, too. I know my video card drivers haven't changed, but every day the first time I launch PoE, it's got to process all the shaders all over again. It started doing this in the last few weeks.
