"Pre-loading map and shaders completed 0 of 0"

[mindlux]

As of one of the most recent updates, the message "pre-loading map and shaders completed 0 of 0" sits atop my screen permanently. I left myself in a custom match for 70 minutes, and it was still there. It's really annoying because it obscures my view of the enemy's towers.

There is a Linux guide in the discord with more info.

To fix that issue add this to your launch options -no_prewarm_map

Also ensure you have LD_PRELOAD="" (if you have the steam overlay disabled)

So, it would be LD_PRELOAD="" %command% -no_prewarm_map

Use dx11

this might sound crazy (even though it kinda makes sense in my head now), but not only did these launch options fix the issue, my in-game fps went up from ~5 to ~40, and the menus don't have any stuttering or lag anymore at all.

Nice, glad it is working for you
