apex-legends-cache VS Single-GPU-Passthrough

did you try caching the shaders before hand? I believe that Apex on linux in general has this issue. (the shaders can be found on Bcook254's github) https://github.com/bcook254/apex-legends-cache

Hi - I'm not new to Linux but new to proton. I've been trying to play Apex Legends, but have been suffering from endless "shader caching". I've left it on upwards of two and a half hours but it always gets stuck at the very end. I understand that people were previously using the apex-legends-cache on GitHub, but the deprecation notice says that this problem was effectively fixed with the updates to DXVK and the Nvidia drivers. Both of which are up to date on my system to my knowledge.

Meanwhile i reinstall in linux steam with https://github.com/bcook254/apex-legends-cache It is pretty smooth on first launch. I try without and even if shader compilation was run successfully it was lagging as hell.

Yes but that's a different kettle of fish. You then don't need two gpus, although if you do it can be useful. Start here and see how deep the rabbit hole goes https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough

Im assuming you're on a single gpu setup and, as such are trying to do single gpu passthrough with a single nvidia card. so you'll likely have to run some libvirt hooks or smth to run scripts to unbind your gpu once you start your vm. In which case id suggest going through these two guides 1 2 which go over completely passing through your single gpu when you start your vm

Out of curiosity, who is Muta, the video dude, or the guide writer, or someone else? From the GitHub it sounded like running the commands from the guide would create a qemu.d/[VM Name]/prepare/begin/start.sh . If I were to simply create those directories myself, and then script as described in the video, I should be good?

Thanks for the info. Some of these I recognize from a single gpu passthrough project on github that i used on my main rig... https://github.com/joeknock90/Single-GPU-Passthrough
