Hi guys.

I’ve finally returned to Linux gaming after a year hiatus back on Windows but currently have been unable to play anything due to Steam’s shader caching. Trying to launch a game means I have to sit and leave my PC on for hours (I gave up after 2) just whilst the progress bar slowly goes up. I made sure background caching was on in the settings and even added a config file to enable more threads as I saw suggested online but after leaving Steam open overnight I’m still unable to play any games.

This wasn’t an issue when I was dailying Linux a year ago so I’m assuming something in Proton must’ve changed?

Never seen that happen.

Which games? Have you tried just disabling caching?

So far that’s for A Hat In Time, Resident Evil 6, Battle bit Remastered and DuckTales Remastered.disabling caching means games run really poorly.

Damn that sucks. Sorry I don’t know how to fix that. Which distro are you running?
