State Cache
In order to reduce stutter on subsequent runs of an application, DXVK now caches pipeline state, which allows it to compile shaders earlier than it currently does, even if the driver's shader cache got invalidated after an update. This may temporarily cause very high CPU load.
By default, this feature is enabled, and cache files are typically created in the same directory where the game executable is located. Refer to the README for further details.
