You didn't provide any logs, information about your system or the apitrace.
What you're seeing is probably shader compilation but you've given us nothing to work with so guessing is the best we can do.
And how do i fix that?
Don't use dxvk or get a driver that supports VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library which is only Nvidia on Windows (i assume you are on Windows) at the moment afaik.
Even then some engines like UE4 might still stutter, but that is because the engine itself doesn't prepare shaders in advance by default.
and where can i get those drivers and what do i need to do with them?
The only driver that supports VK_EXT_graphics_pipeline_library on Windows is nvidia's, and it does so by default for a while now. If you have a GPU from a different vendor, there is nothing you can do on windows.
Yes if you are not using Nvidia all you can do is wait.
im using nvidia and i still get the fps drops and dxvvk doesnt work
What do you mean it doesn't work and what is your GPU and driver version.
fwiw these unreal engine games are usually extra bad since alot of them don't load shaders up front which means they are first compiled when encountered ingame. I don't remember how Borderlands 2 behaves in that regards specifically.
i have a 3060 like the laptop version and an i 7 and the last drivers available i use like dxvk and the stuttering stays there
Make sure your drivers are up to date.
Aside from that, there's nothing we can do with the limited amount of information you've given us.
i use like dxvk and the stuttering stays there
Does that mean that the game stutter with DXVK in the same way it does without DXVK? In that case I don't see any issues here anyways, since DXVK's goal isn't really to fix or improve games.
it stutters worse the fps is overall normal but it stutters a lot like the game doesnt run smoothly

Please describe your issue as accurately as possible.
I have been looking for optimizing guides for borderlands 2 because i have a laptop with pretty good specs and the fps drops were crazy in that game so thats why i installed dxvk butt an abnormal stuttering had appeared after putting the d3d9 and dgi files in the win 32 borderlands 2 folder i waited because maybe something was loading but after an hour the stutter didnt stop. Is there any way of fixing it or any step im missing?
