They ninja fixed Compiling Shaders?

[TEKK3N]

It usually took me up to 10 minutes to compile the shaders, but in the last couple of days it only take less than a minute.
Did they actually fixed it?

[Mutant Cowboy Turtle]

I noticed that too, I dont think I got the mods that fixed it

[Sangeki]

There haven't been any updates yet.

I bought the game a couple of days after release (GoG) and the shader compiling has always been quick for me. Easily under a minute. No mods.

Ideally a given shader should compile only once per given hardware/driver configuration

They are compiled only once, unless you update graphics driver. On subsequent launches game just checks them.

I know this is a bit nerdy but I literally just timed it and it took 42 seconds, I pre-ordered the game and it always been about that quick.

Timed it too and got the same result, ~42 seconds. Has taken around that time since release, not counting the first time which took a couple of minutes.

I have a AMD GPU and the driver doesn't support Stralker 2 yet, so I guess for some reason it loads the shaders every time.

Yes, now the loading time is pretty much 40 seconds, but for the first 5 days it took up to 10 minutes every time to load.

I don't have any mods installed and obviously there hasn't been any patch yet.
So that's extra weird.

No updates but there has been two shadow patches, yes. I downloaded both. Not sure if either of them was for shaders however. They happened within the first couple days of release, first one being first day of release.

Very strange, the first shader compile after install took a few mins but after that first time its always took around 40 seconds for me.

Even the very first time for me took no where neat 10 minutes.

10 minutes just to warm up the shaders is not normal. For 1st time compiling yes it can take 5 to 10 minutes.

mine was taking like 5 minutes to load the game the first couple of days, but lately it takes less than a minute, I thought it was related to one of the user patches (mods) I installed.

if you have an nvidia card you should be able to change the Shader Cache Size, the default is 4gb and once thats at capacity it will start to delete the cache to store new data, change it to 10gb (if you have the space on your C:/ hdd/ssd) that might help

[ltl Chiller]

For me it took 17 minutes when I started the game the first time.. after that only.. I guess about 3 minutes (totally acceptable to me)

Edit: My pc is not the best btw. (if its not super obvious)
