Symptoms

I am away from my Deck momentarily so do not have the logs, but I wanted to report an issue. Although overall performance of gameplay seems to be a big improvement in SteamOS 3.5 (I'm no longer seeing the heavy shader compilation stutter I was seeing previously), load times are now incredible long compared to Stable build of SteamOS (a.k.a pre-3.5)

It takes a good 5 minutes at least from clicking Play to being able to actually load your save and play.

Reproduction

Use any version of Proton 7 or newer, it doesn't seem to matter. I tried 7, GE 7-49, 8.0-3, Experimental, and GE 8-15. All had similar results. The "Stable" Steam OS loads things very quickly (but stutters terribly), but on Preview, even simply waiting for the intro cutscene to play or getting the loading screen to appear after loading your save take a lot longer. Once you're in, it seems fine. Just wondering what caused the loading regression...if the logs are absolutely necessary I can provide them another time but I didn't want to wait on delivering this report.

It seems the game is nearly to the "Playable" point though! Huge progress.

Someone else has the same experience and mentioned that it applies to the third game, Lightning Returns, as well. https://www.reddit.com/r/SteamDeck/comments/16lloj0/comment/k13hlsx/
