Any fix for the long load times in vulkan?

[SenMithrarin85]

For some reason the checkpoint reloads on death are taking the piss. I have to use that api because windows 10 causes the fps to go to ♥♥♥♥ on opengl (was fine on 7 for some reason).

As I recall, it is related to shader caching.

Try a full DDU driver wipe and install the latest drivers for your video card.

If that fails, your only option pretty much is to install the game on a faster disk, preferably an SSD.

I'm on the latest drivers, and 78gb is too big for one game on my ssd, sadly. Thanks anyway, man.

I run Doom on Widows 10 just fine.

OP, you computer has aids. Time to reformat.

Not for me it doesn't. It drops to 35/40 whenever I get hit by enemies. On vulkan, its fine (hence my post). On windows 7, its fine on both apis. Therefore windows 10 is the problem in my case.

Defrag and optimize your HDD.
Helped me a lot. For some reason the download left a mess on my HDD.

Then why would I be using an api that has steam overlay issues, and 2x the load times? For the fun of it? There is clearly a compatibility issue on my end between the game, api and windows.

On 7 its a flawless 60fps, but the number of incompatabilities on 7 keeps growing: arkham knight won't launch on laptops, dark souls's dsfix doesn't work and games that have to run in borderless aren't as smooth.

Might be fine for you, but its not for me. But thats neither here nor there.

I discovered the fix to the problem! If Rivatuner is turned on, it causes loading checkpoints to take me a min. If I have rivatuner disabled for Doom, I have 10 second loads of checkpoints.

When you encounter a problem you should always shutdown all non essential program running.

There is a always a good possibility that it's the problem.

Doom doesnt like some. If you have any of them running it will make the game run like crap and in some case not even start.

I have the same problem with Rivatuner with Vulkan api. Problem here is, that loading times are really getting stupidly long. On an SSD. With A GTX 1080. I guess, I'm going back to good old OGL till this somehow gets fixed from either side. and yes this problem persisted even after my PC clean installation. The problem is here, that you need absolutly zero inputlag, when you want to make ranks on the Leaderboard and VSync is producing Input lag. it's not that bad in this game, but its noticeable.

YES, THANK YOU.
I couldn't understand why all of a sudden I had a 20 seconds dead time before the loading screen actually started loading between one death and the next and this solved my issue, it was riva tuner. I disabled it for now and I'll stick to the ingame fps counter, no big deal. Game runs flawlessly even in vulkan but maybe that's because this is a two years old discussion and fixes were made. Thanks again anyway.

Turn all game mode crap off. Focus assist also.

Thank you so much for posting this. i was ready to give up on this awesome game. My new i5 runs it like that *snaps fingers*
