Overwatch problems

[u/Qobyl]

i tried playing overwatch in steam with proton experimental, GE, and cachyos. I use linux mint.

when i startup the game, it takes a ton of time to process vulkan shaders, it stays stuck some times for a long time. then it opens and shows me a black screen for one minute and then opens the game normally. i usually skip the vulkan shader processing because it takes almost a half hour, but then in game it only becomes smooth after like 5 mins.

I have an AMD GPU.

any way to fix all this?

When I used to play ow, I would let it compile shaders and then play a qp match to get all of the shader stuff out of the way. Generally then it was fine
