apex-legends-cache VS apex-legends-cache-automated

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.

I’m using this one: https://github.com/bcook254/apex-legends-cache

I just made a fork that works a little better as a helper/middleman, with desktop notifications and the ability to be used in steam launch options instead of as a non-steam game.
