1 year ago I'll still accept caches. ~~And I wonder, if the cache was no longer needed then why wouldn't DXVK just get rid of it? I think it's still needed in some of the bigger games, such as Apex so I will accept them, because why not.~~ Maybe it'll still be useful to someone.
If you don't want to develop your tool anymore, it's absolutely fine.
So DXVK got a new release
And it compiles the shaders now when starting the game and not on-draw.
THIS APPLIES ONLY FOR COMPATIBLE DRIVERS
So since the caches won't be generated while playing a game instead before loading the game, we probably won't need to merge any of them any longer.
(DXVK-Native got up streamed into this as well, not sure if the pre-playing generation applies for this as well, but probably yes)
What do you think?
Additional point to think of: Custom maps in game may produce shader caches that can't be compiled previously (e.g. CSGO)
As I'm still developing the DXVKoTool and not sure if it's worth to maintain now.
