anyone playing warframe on proton ?

[_Anise_]

wondering because I am experiencing strange "first time" lag, like first time opening a door will lag me out, first time seeing an explosion can have me freeze for 3 seconds etc the more i play the smoother it goes but seems like maybe it's happening every time I start the game fresh.

anyone else on proton experiencing similar ?

Sounds like shader caching and should become less of a problem as you play.

Might be worth checking if your shader cache gets wiped on restart or anything like that.

yeah I assumed it may have been some kinda of shader thing, though every launch it seems like stream claims to be pre-compiling the shaders though something makes me think this maybe resetting them

That may be normal the first time you encounter things, on the DX12 engine. Use the DX11 engine for a smoother gameplay, but even the DX12 engine should smooth out in a little bit of gameplay.

If you get the pre-compiling dialog during startup, let it finish - or don't, but expect a bit stuttering then during gameplay for a while.

It should be butter-smooth once the shade cache is filled. I have no idea why the shader cache would reset, or how one could force one even if desired (besides purposefully deleting it). A major Proton version change will cause a rebuild?

Try different Proton versions. Proton experimental should work IIRC, but I've been using GloriousEggroll versions for quite some time.
