Title: Shader laggy upon start, but fine when switching to a different shader then back
Post by: slowsl on January 08, 2025, 09:10:36 AM
Rpi3b+

I'm nearly finished with my cabinet and I've never really messed with shaders until this point, I've added some and flipped through them here and there.  I spent a good amount of time weeding out the ones that are laggy on the Rpi hardware, and what I have left are a handful that work really. 

Here is the problem... Whenever I set one as the default, when the game first loads, it's choppy/laggy.  I have hotkeys set for next/previous shaders, and If I switch to the next shader, it's fine, move back to the shader that I was just on, it's suddenly fine.  Exit the game, then open the game (any game), same thing, laggy.  Only switching shader and switching back fixes it.  I tried setting several different shaders as the default, they all do it.  Any idea what might be causing this?

***update***
I found one shader that I'm able to set to the default and no lag when starting a game, there may be more, but this was the first one that I got to work.  It's not my favorite one though, so I'd like to still figure this out.
