Campaign compiling shaders stuck at 10%.

[Geralt_Boladao]

Hello, i'm playing through this on PC gamepass, and the campaign shaders are stuck at 10%, i left the game alone for 6 hours, and still stuck at 10%. I've read a couple of solutions online, mainly being about turning off RT Shadows or lowering all settings, did both, neither works. Someone have a solution to that?

P.S.: I'm new to the Halo franchise, just played through MCC and now trying this on gamepass, really loving it so far, but, since i'm new to the franchise, if this is a recurring problem with an easy fix, please help me and forgive my lack of knowledge about the game's shenanigans.

P.S.2: I'm writing this here bc the xbox app on pc does not have something similar to this.

P.S.3: My PC specs are a little above the recommended.
9700k oc all core 5.0GHZ
32 GB RAM
Game is on a SSD
RTX 3070

EDIT: Forgot to say, all drivers are up to date, this is not the initial loading that happens, is when i'm in campaign mode menu.

H0ly ♥♥♥♥ that's wild. I'm also a newbie to the Halo franchise. I too recently played through MCC this month. Now I'm on infinite. I however didn't have problems with the shaders.

In your post, you mentioned solutions online, regarding messing with settings, but have you tried a full uninstall reinstall yet? I know people tend to hate that advice and I don't blame them as it tends to be the suggestion everyone throws out to every technical problem under the sun, but it could help. A fresh slate, so to speak.

some things you could try: follow this guide https://portkeygamessupport.wbgames.com/hc/en-us/articles/14659998310803-How-To-Clear-Your-Shader-Cache increase your shader cache size in nvidia control panel by going to manage 3d settings and selecting shader cache size under global settings. id recommend setting it to either 10 gb or 100gb

Don't know of someone will see this, but... I managed to fix this somehow. This is what i did: go to nVidia app -> Graphics -> choose Halo Infinite (one thats a compaign, you can check this with files folders button) -> pressed restore, which made all graphics to low, then launched the game and there was no shader compiling anymore, so i set graphics to very high in game options and it worked.
