Valve continues to improve Linux Vulkan Shader Pre-Caching

Quoting: LeopardIf you don't , try one of them without any cache and see if ACO is enough or not.

Star Citizen is pretty shader heavy. Before aco it was stuttering a lot, with aco it became very playable. I don't have access to any others you mentioned.

Quoting: LeopardFor my case ( i'm on NV but ACO and NV are not too far when it comes to shader compiling

How did you compare that? In my experience ACO made stutter a non issue. Especially combined with general shader cache and dxvk pipeline cache.

With aco, shader compilation stuttering became a non issue practically anyway.

Do they cache it for each existing GPU architecture?

Quoting: bakgwailoWhat ever happened to the Shadow Warrior 2 Port? Did the developer ever officially kill it?

Quite possibly. It's fully playable in Wine+dxvk though.

Speaking of Devolver Digital. I wonder if Eitr will come out this year or not. Like happened with Owlboy, it takes developers a very long time to complete it.

Quoting: GuestDo you remember two years ago when proton came out and people on this site seriously thought linux gaming numbers were going to radically grow because of it? :)

The numbers grew, didn't they? So how do you know it wasn't because of Proton and Wine progress?

But radically? I don't remember such expectations. Rather, it was expected to help sustaining the growth. And it does. You can see new users commenting all the time how they switched to Linux because of how easy Proton makes playing games for them.

Yes, Valve can offer better cut for games that offer Linux releases, until Linux sales share will reach certain percentage. A bit surprising they didn't do it yet.
