Hello to you.
I would like to know if there is already a video that explains this. I think it will be easier for me to follow this way.

Apex Legends Stutter free with DXVK graphics pipeline library - Linux | How To
https://youtu.be/hG67eVNctOA

So if I understood correctly, does this new method avoid shader precompilation Steam does and directly uses Windows shaders?
You mean I don't have to wait 1.5 hours for compilation on each update?

The steam pre-compile just is broken currently with that new method. pre-compile would still help. Currently since its broken it will compile the shaders every time you start the game, but the positive is that it will compile it ahead of gameplay in case for Apex Legends and other games that needed the dxvk.cache to be populated before.

I have one more question, are "nvidia" and "nvidia-vulkan" drivers seperate things? Can I just install nvidia-beta-dkms or a seperate driver is needed?

good question, i use tkg scripts to build the version packages i want to use: https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all
so i dont really know..check which version gives you the 515.49.06 i guess

@Xpander THANK YOU this thing works! It is way better than what I had before.
I manually installed the beta drivers, renamed the shader cache folders to see how much effect the modification has and started Apex Legends. I waited in the main menu for 3 mins and got in firing range. I had only 2 short freezes and otherwise stutter free. Then I joined regular match and I managed to reach the dropship, without shader pre-compile or this mod the game froze for AN HOUR and later told me I had timed out. With mod I reach dropship with ~30 FPS (previously 40-50).
No more waiting for shader compile :)

The only problem atm is that each game launch you have to wait in the menu for a bit for the shaders to get compiled again. Once the steam shader pre-cache thing is fixed for this new method, it will be pretty seamless experience. Would only require the shader compiles every update or driver updates i guess then.

I had a few bugs on the dropship like neon lights in the middle on the screen and a very loud sound. I was going to upload a video but I couldn't login to Proton

Thanks to you Xpander.

Never had neither the neon lights nor the sound in dropship before.

Hmm, from the video it looks like its compiling shaders during the flight and after landing.. CPU usage goes high and fps drops like crazy. Are you sure you are even using this DXVK version. Never seen those issues myself but those look something like what you might get with DXVK_ASYNC or something, which is unofficial hack.

Hmm, from the video it looks like its compiling shaders during the flight and after landing.. CPU usage goes high and fps drops like crazy.

These are caused by recording even if I use no compression preset and ended up with a 3 GiB video file. (the uploaded video is smaller because it is reencoded)
Without recording I have good FPS and low CPU usage.

Works great in HotS with D3D11. Should it work the same with D3D9? As e.g. Borderlands 2 still has compile stutter (and the newly created state cache file still seems to contain the actual shaders, unlike with HotS, where it's just a 1KB stub).
Patched in some open PRs, didn't yet try without.

Should it work the same with D3D9? As e.g.

D3D9 is not supported at the moment afaik, unless its super recently added. D3D11 and D3D10 only for now

For those who dont want to get shaders compiled every time due to steam shader cache not working with this new dxvk graphics pipeline library, you can use launch command:
__GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_PATH=/home/xpander/.cache/nvidia/apex __GL_SHADER_DISK_CACHE_SIZE=2147483647 %command%
ofc make sure you add your own correct path. This way all the cache will be stored for faster access on each game reboot. This is only needed until the steam shader pre-cache system is fixed for this method.

also there was a proton-experimental update recently, so you need to replace the dxvk files again as the latest experimental doesn't seem to include the graphics pipeline library stuff.

EDIT looks like steam client beta has fixed the steam shader pre-cache for it already. So you don't need this anymore. Damn things move quickly!

EDIT2: it looks like i also had steam launch options -dev -preload +max_fps 144 for apex. no idea what -preload does, maybe thats the one that makes it pre-compile all in the menus? I must have copy pasted the command blindly from somewhere some time ago.

The game does that by default also with native D3D11.

I have created PKGBUILDs that can install vulkan beta drivers, could you test and review them? 515.49.10 didn't work for me (segfault if I run vkcube or vulkaninfo, I suspect using open dkms drivers EDIT: Nope, closed source also segfaults EDIT2: Nvidia official installer also segfaults, Linus' voice echoes in my mind) so I used 515.49.06. Also I don't know what to write for "maintainers" part because both PKGBUILDs are derivates of non-vulkan beta PKGBUILDs. Should I mention only myself with a note to refer to other PKGBUILD or include other maintainers?
Closed Source Vulkan Beta Drivers. Name change, version bump and some modifications (dlpkgver and source) because awkward file name. I tried to make minimal changes so rest of the PKGBUILD remains the same.

Just use this to pick the driver you want (can even manually specify the version):
https://github.com/Frogging-Family/nvidia-all

personally i havent had any issues with 515.49.10. Been using it since July 20th.

Hi, I'm new to the forum and made an account just for this. Thank you Xpander on the guide(s) on how to make Apex Legends (finally!) stutter-free without community based shader caches. There is just one "bug" left for me at least, sometimes when I move around or press "E" for opening loot caches, the character is unable to move in Apex Legends. I've tried playing on Full Screen, Borderless Windowed etc. and it doesn't seem to help. This doesn't happen every time, but it's usually once or twice per game.

I get back into able to move my character by pressing "Esc", I'm unsure if some other key could also do this but that is what works at the moment. I'm using all the default keybinds.

This is really frustrating and I never had such problems on Windows. Anyone know what the problem or solution could be? Thanks.

I'm running POP!_OS on the newest drivers btw.
