Re: Easy Anti-Cheat for Linux/Proton available

@Smith_Littlewood Thanks once again for the reply.
I already have Vsync off, but I have seen on reddit it that it might be because Vulkan shaders are getting loaded/compiled for the first time and that just running around the maps and letting everything load should fix the lag. I think this would make sense because on areas I have already been there are only small to no lag spikes at all.
But thank you anyways, I appreciate any help I can get. :D

True. I added the dxvk cache files according to this thread https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/t5xrho/dxvk_state_cache_for_fixing_stutter_in_apex/ and I don't see any stutters anymore.
Make sure that the Shader Pre-Caching is enabled in your steam settings. Then add the above shader cache file.

@DrowsillaThat's cool! A question in regards to the Shader pre-caching setting in Steam:
What does "Allow background processing of Vulkan shaders" do?
What situation does background refer to?
EDIT: I should probably mention that I'm also not into computer graphics, including shaders, I can't even understand simple GLSL shaders for Minecraft. :P

Another quick question: I've seen the launch option
DXVK_ASYNC=1
on ProtonDB and reddit, what does it do?
