1. Check if vulkanshader processing is active in the steam settings. If it is turned on let steam process all the shaders before starting the game. Otherwise you could also try the game with shaderprocessing turned off.
2. Disable the steamoverlay for the game and see if that makes a difference.
3. Avoid running the game with mangohud or other overlays enabled.
If you change the quality settings it is normal that the game becomes unresponsive for a while. The game should show a progressdialog while it is compiling the vulkanshaders. This can take quiet some time.

Just checked and I saw none that matched this.
I have tried deleting the vulkan shader folder and running the game without it as well as redownloading it but the issue remains. I have tried running without MangoHud as well but that didn't solve it. I turned off Steam Overlay but this didn't solve it. This is not normal for the hundreds of other games I own and there is no progress bar on the screen.

Any company whose default response is that doesn't deserve my money. No attempt at troubleshooting at all.
I don't know how much you want to fiddle with it, but it would be fun to run something like sysprof or dump the shaders and see if it is actually still compiling or just spinning somewhere...
...or just cut your losses and play it with Proton.

I have no idea, they didn't say. What is crazy to me is these people on the Steam forum acting like this would be a normal occurence and common. I own over a thousand games and finished over 500 of them. Not once in 23 years of PC gaming have I had to wait 90 minutes to compile shaders.I am deciding between playing with Proton or just refunding it. I am really unhappy with the quality of the support from Deep Silver/Koch Media to the point I almost want to refund it on principle.

(And you need to temporarily switch down to medium detail level on the Caspian Sea level to prevent frequent crashes, again on all platforms...)

I ended up just asking for a refund. I had given the game 35 minutes yesterday just sitting there at my desk, ironically reading Metro 2033 while I waited, and it still was frozen. This is shoddy work from 4A games and not worth my money.
