Tip for Blizzard.
NVIDIA shaders do not work on AMD gpu’s.
The same aplies to AMD shaders not working on NVIDIA gpu’s
I used to have this bug in shadowlands which was main reason i switched AMD
The solution was to clear shader cache every time on startup or use dx11
This is also still an issue
Let me also speak from experience that in sons of the forest devs contacted me to figure out what caused gpu driver time outs in specific area with rivers, it ended up being water shader cos when it unloaded there was no driver timeout, when it was loaded it it took usually less then 2 minutes to get driver time out, the devs made the low quality water setting fix this eventually fixing it even on max quality preset.
So specific shaders that have issues are capable of crashing gpu driver or cause all kind of issues.
To say this is just an AMD issue is just stuborn and inaccurate the only thing AMD can do is block the specific shader that causes the issue, and the game having long startup may even be the result of that.
Anyway here is what i want.
Blizzard just contact AMD and work with them, they are more then capable of figuring this out together with dev team.
For what i want from AMD bassicly want them to do the same.
I also want compensation for the game having not been playable state at all since before dragonflight launch the game has caused the video scheduler to freeze or have driver time outs, which is probably the result of it using bad shaders, its kind of funny that the days i had the least crashes where when i cleared cache and shader cache
or to play in linux that uses dxvk that completly handles shaders differently without causing driver timeouts, well atleast it used to i cant confirm if that is still the case.
Everyone here can easily fact check me
Anyway when i said i am done, i mean it, i am litterally done im not gonna assist Blizzard in figuring this out or to even help them debug it, your on your own until you compensate me fully
What a joke this is.
If not forgotten about locking my thread blaming it just to be an AMD driver issue its not.
Stop forcing NVIDIA shaders down AMD throat it does not work, it will not work and it will never work.
