info:  Effective configuration:
info:    d3d11.ignoreGraphicsBarriers = True
info:    dxvk.numCompilerThreads = 16
info:    dxvk.gplAsyncCache = true
info:    dxvk.enableAsync = true
info:    d3d9.maxAvailableMemory = 12288
info:    dxgi.hideNvidiaGpu = False
info:    d3d11.relaxedBarriers = True
info:    dxvk.numAsyncThreads = 16
info:    dxvk.allowFse = True

Please, for the love of god, stop throwing config options at things when you clearly don't know what they do. Half of these don't even exist and d3d11.ignoreGraphicsBarriers = True can easily break things.

Anyway, probably just late shader compilation, can't really do much there.
