Big Micro-Stuttering

[humble brook]

Im playing on a Steam Deck, all roms I got are loaded in the SD Card (Maybe is relevant)
Idk why im suffering stuttering when playing a game, sometimes I even see how the assets are loaded on screen (they just pop) maybe is the shader cashe but how the shader cache load slower than Switch or Wii U emulation where I don't got any Stuttering?

[jolly venture]

what game

[humble brook]

I tested in Kirby Robobot Planet and Zelda Ocarina of Time

both game stutters a lot

at the start

i tried the "Disable Right Eye Rendering" option in Graphics but at least for Zelda the game don't work with that option

it don't load anything, black screen

[jolly venture]

What renderer

[humble brook]

Vulkan

2x Native Resolution

[jolly venture]

Did you try on native resolution

[humble brook]

No, i could try

but maybe 1x is too low

[humble brook]

still

big stutters and items popping

[jolly venture]

Send a screenshot of your settings

[humble brook]

i think its shader cache, but still

[jolly venture]

disable accurate multiplication

[jolly venture]

Did it work?

[humble brook]

well it fixed the stutter a bit

its not more dramatic

but the popping still there sometimes

why deactivating that option that say "deactivate this option may cause less performance in most applications" should work? idk

but i think it did work

[fierce jasper]

The pop in is probably caused by async shader compilation, objects won't render while their shaders are being compiled

And if you updated azahar from a previous version then the old shader cache may have been invalidated

[humble brook]

but if i have to guess deactivating async shader compilation gonna make the stutter worse right?

[humble brook]

so it is a shader cache load uh

[fierce jasper]

Yeah, will replace the pop ins with stutters instead

If you want you could use OpenGL, that will stutter too, but the shader cache will be actual compiled shaders as opposed to vulkan's cached instructions to make shader compilation way faster, tho I think vulkan should be fine

[humble brook]

well I hope the shader cache streaming gets better over time... maybe in a normal desktop PC stutter is non perceptible so its not a real problem.

well thank you for the help guys

[fierce jasper]

No it's there, every shader compile is perceptable on all devices, only the first time tho

[humble brook]

well thats a shame, it could break the immersion for some ppl... I though it was a problem with the deck or something and it was driving me crazy cuz when I emulate Switch or WIi U i don't got that big stutters when loading shaders

[fierce jasper]

You do get those stutters on switch for sure, you prob just don't notice

Or you have a built cache

[humble brook]

no, i do know there are stutters but they are almost invisible compared with the ones im getting in azahar

[humble brook]

and no i don't trust downloading cache from other ppl

[fierce jasper]

Maybe cause switch doesn't stop sound while azahar does?

I've had times on switch emus taking a solid 2 or 3 seconds to compile shaders, if not 15 when compiling a whole new scene

Like I loaded on splatoon 3 for the first time and damn

[humble brook]

nah, at least in eden I don't notice anything, but maybe is cuz of the devs scope

with every release they emphasize on shader cache compilation

and cemu its just too good

[fierce jasper]

Yeah no experience on cemu, don't got games for it

[humble brook]

I only got 3 but those 3 run so well, its like play it on my wii u

anyways man, thank you!

for the help

have a nice night/day whatever
