LACT isn’t a bad stand-in for some of adrenaline’s features, but it obviously doesn’t cover everything.

Hmm that’s not a bad idea. I am running an older setup so I’ll have to see how that fairs while I do normal tasks.

Thanks! It feels good to be back.

Aah okay that makes sense. I wouldn’t mind the extra space.

If that’s turned off, do you know if the game generates and caches shaders as you play? If so, does that also apply to games run outside of Steam?

Currently I’m just playing games like Hunt Showdown and Helldivers.

Yeah I saw that when I was previously running into this, but wasn’t sure if it would leave performance on the table. Also, I’m curious if you could run it once, turn it off so you don’t process them again, and if that would be beneficial for subsequent runs of the game even after updates (assuming not since they’d probably be invalidated).

Performance wise it was better for almost every game I played! I’m more used to Linux because that’s what I use at work, but I don’t have the greatest Internet connection, so that’s why the shader caches suck.

A few months ago.

I’ve tried Linux gaming for a good bit but it doesn’t seem like it’s quite there yet. For the games that worked it was amazing! The only other thing that was annoying was the constant downloading for the shader caches basically every day with steam (yes I know they can be disabled). I was using Bazzite for those wondering.

CDK or bust

Just switched from Windows 10 to Nobara this morning!

Thanks! I may be in the market for a little server. Currently running stuff off a pine a64 but arm is killing me for some stuff (specifically playwright with chrome)

Curious, what hardware are you running?
