Stuttering in wine/proton when loading assets for the first time

When I run games through proton/wine, the first time anything gets loaded the whole system stutters, making many games virtually unplayable for the first couple of minutes. I also get this output in the terminal:

ioctl (GFEATURE): Broken pipe

Re: Stuttering in wine/proton when loading assets for the first time

What hardware, what game? Generally all the vulkan conversion libs will have somewhat of a stutter during shader compilation that can generally be expensive on weaker HW. Most of that should be largely mitigated on current mesa (radv)/nvidia drivers.

Output of

vulkaninfo --summary

?

Re: Stuttering in wine/proton when loading assets for the first time

I'm using a Ryzen 3600 and an nvida 3070 and most of the games are installed on an nvme (moving them to another disk doesn't solve it).
This happens in most games running under wine, even ones that I run with vanilla wine. Just starting them makes the whole system stutter but cpu and ram usages very low.

Here's the output:
