No way to skip Optimization?

[28seki]

Once is okay but few more times is not acceptable.
Is there any workaround it to skip this long process that has been done several time???

Not unless you never update your GPU drivers again.

[28seki]

Yeah, that's the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing devs overlooked.

Lemme guess. You've got auto driver install enabled through geforce experience.

No, I don't, in fact, I disabled autoupdate for anything. I only update when there is a title I want to play with nvidia's optimization. Then I just found out about their obsolete method.
I could wait another annoying 2-3 hours again, but fk it, I would rather play other better games instead.

Maybe update your 🥔

For reference, I’ve spent maybe a total of 9 minutes on the optimization screen since the Steam release.

Of course, 9 minutes on a process I don’t understand and therefore think shouldn’t exist is probably the worst tragedy that has ever befallen anyone in history. Alas!

Your sarcasm falls flat. Optimization takes between 10 to 30 minutes on a 12-core 4 GHz CPU, every single time the game detects that the graphic driver has changed.

No it's not a historical tragedy, but HZD is the only game in history that does this and it's a royal pain in the Buried Shadow.

As someone with a 3900X, it takes me 4 minutes. Come again?

Edit:

Correction, after deleting cache and letting it run again, was 7 minutes and 13 seconds.

SSD/M.2 should decrease your optimization time, i have mine on an SSD and it takes 10 mins tops. On release i installed it on a HD (old habits) and the optimization took nearly 50 mins.

no.. HZD its not the only game in history that does an optimization and repeat it again every major change (hw or sw).

Yep, devs really need to address this issue. I'm sure when every time people update their PS4 firmware, they don't go through this unnecessary step. (Even games like GTA5 doesn't do this.)

When consoles get firmware updates, the devs just need to recompile the shaders on their dev kit machines and then push a patch to everyone, because everyone is on the same machine. That’s why console players do not see it at all.

PC players have unique rigs each one, though, so Devs can’t precompile the shaders for every combination of hardware and software.

Expect to see this occur more often as DX12 becomes more prevalently used in games. (GTA5 doesn’t use DX12, to my recollection?)

I know it doesn't take as long but Forza Horizon 4 also optimises everytime you update your GPU driver. This is nothing new.

On my SSD.M2 and R5 2600 6c/12t, it takes about 20-25 minutes.

And... Borderlands 3 make this optimalization ALWAYS! EACH TIME I RUN GAME!!! It takes about 30 seconds there, but EACH ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time!

Must be very CPU based as I only have the game on a normal SSD not an M2 and it takes me around 10 mins. Ryzen 9 3900X here.

Yes, I dont know exactly what it does, but yes, it takes about 90-100% CPU...

I suspect this is solely GPU based optimization. If so, they should have enough data for each GPU by now to create a default pre-compiled shader.

I think the game forgets which GPU the machine was using previously after installing a new driver, thus the game tries to process the optimization over again.

Also it may be because the driver update readjusts or add the gpu setting, so the game may run the process again from the beginning, which seems bit inefficient.

Anyways, no clue, that's not something user has a control.
