Shader Compilation Stutter in UE games
Will the Callisto protocol suffer from the dreaded UE engine shader compilation stutters on PC? I have pre-ordered the game on PC, I also own a PS5. I hope I have chosen the right platform. I probably should have waited until the Digital Foundry verdict was out.
I just hope they have a way of compiling the shaders on the initial load on PC.

It does have shader studder.

These devs need to be called out for this fr. Stutters ruin the game for me and it seems like every single freaking game suffers from it. Why would any company be cool releasing games in this state.

The intro was stuttering like crazy for me.

it has stutter at every new area and after every new cut scene big yikes

sadly, yes, it has compiled shaders, a friend shared the game with me and even on a nvme gen 4 there are stutters.

the developers of the sackboy port fixed the shader compilation problem in an exceptional way,is incredible that Striking distance will release a game like this on PC following this terrible trend

Digital Foundry is going to have a field day with shader compilation stutter.

It's really bad fr. Guess I'm refunding and getting it on PS5... not really wanting to wait for a potential patch.

There have been a few recent AAA games that do shader compiling beforehand, this is how it should be done on PC. It takes a while initially but with greatly reduced stutter.

Horizon Zero Dawn, Days Gone, Uncharted 4 have shader compiling in menu Sony devs are next level

Btw The graphics options in this game are terrible, easily one of the worst I've seen this year.
