Compiling shaders

[evergreen]

Is there any solution to how long it takes to compile shaders? Started the game and had to wait ~80 minutes to compile shaders, got in game for ~5 minutes before it crashed while alt tabbing. Does this happen every time you launch the game or did this only happen because the game autoupdated between launches. I've been sitting here for ~30 minutes again and wondering if I should refund the game now before its too late

(I quit the game at 118 minutes to prevent losing my steam refund)

idk man, post at least ur computer specs, It took like 6 long minutes to me using M2 SSD gen4... and, ryzen 9 3900x 3080rtx 32gb ram...

Takes maybe 15-20 seconds here, something definitely wrong

thats more progress than me, i crash the second it tries to compile the shaders and have yet to find a solution. im i hear its a intel 13k/14k issue but it doesnt effect any other game so idk

You need to do it again, everytime you start the Game but it takes less than a Minute from the second start.

Better this, than stuttering.

Specs are Ryzen 5 5600G and a 6800XT on a gen 3 NVME ssd for those who asked

i had a similar issue with the new warzone. i cant remember what i did to fix it. have you tried verifying integrity?

Same for me, with a 13900K and a 4090

Not for me. The fastest I've seen my system finish compiling was 20 minutes and most times its over 35 minutes. I have not seen it take over 40 minutes. I am seriously considering asking for a refund. BTW I've tried all the tips I have found. None of them made a difference.

Putting this for reference here: my i7-9700k compiled the shaders in about 10 minutes. In comparison - Veilguard took almost double the time.

This game sucks ass, crashes everytime compiling shaders shows up.

Overclocked i5 4690K + GTX 1080 here, initial shader compile took ~35mins, takes ~5½ mins at each start now.

There shouldn't be a need to recompile shaders if nothing has changed in your system since the previous compile as the shaders are cached after compile.

Im already waiting 2h to complete shader compilation n thats stack on 1/5, this is despite the fact that the video card (3050) has been working at 100% all this time and has been trying to compile the game for the second hour

This affects me and I am on an AMD system with a 7900x cpu & 7900xt gpu with 32Gb Ram

if you fail to compile shaders... you need a new rig.

you need to adjust settings asap. my first compile took 15 minutes swear. the rest of them since using one of the optimized mods has been 3-6 minutes, not so bad but i mean if you're on an older rig or your hardware is just too slow for your settings, its gonna drag.
