Hello all. When playing games using Heroic and ProtonGE11.3 all my games show this compiling shaders message in the bottom left corner with a completion percentage so it’s essentially like Steam but you don’t have to wait for the game to load. That’s great. However

When playing games I get this message popup a lot with no percentage. It’s not only distracting that it pops up but in some games it covers things I need to see.

I am running am Asus re-release version of a GT1030 using the AUR Nvidia580 utils etc.

Can I hide it somehow?

Seems to be a feature in cachy-proton as well.  
From what I can find add the launch argument `DXVK_HUD=0 %command%`  
Hope this helps.

Nice one!

For anyone else using Heroic Launcher you have to add it as an environment variable not as a command line argument.

That’s been doing my head in for ages but any searches I made were not what I was on about. I was obviously searching incorrectly.
