Is it just me, or is forcing -vulkan in steam launch options increasing my performance a lot and removing "Compiling shaders" while loading the game? Why has nobody else recommended this? Yes, for some older games it will crash saying "No vulkan shaders available" but I would just try it to check. Also, some games, like The Sims 4, just don't launch without this.
