With the use of Heroic game launcher, I’m wondering if you all preferred to play your GOG version of games over the Steam version. I can go either way but sometimes I pause and think, having two copies of the same game, one on steam and one on GOG, which one would give me a better gaming experience. For example, I may choose the GOG version because I don’t have to deal with pre-shader work being downloaded every so often. I can just into my games. Yet, Steam achievements and seeing the game’s metadata is always life: seeing the game info, store page, community stuff about the game, and more all there. So what do you chose? GOG game or the Steam game.

I love steams game metadata. I wish I could enable it for non steam games. Regarding shaders - I turned off precaching as it was taking gigabytes of space that I needed. I haven’t noticed a difference in game load time compared to my friends who still have it enabled.

It’s supposed to prevent stutter or freezes caused shader compilation during gameplay. The effect on load times is minimal.
