Why is Stalker 2 Compiling shaders every time I launch the game?

runs better, there is a mod that gets rid of it though

Gaming is becoming a grind and a chore.

Imagine waiting 3-8 minutes just to play a game.

It takes maybe 2 minutes at most to compile shaders.

If it said Loading Please Wait no one would think twice. But since it says compiling shaders please wait everyone has a problem.

Takes 30 seconds on a fast box.

I remember having a HDD instead of an SSD.

Try out No Shader Warmup mod on Nexus. And whoops the shader process is vanished. Has no influence of performance, because the state of the game is just a disaster anyway.

People waited like that in the PS1 era.

People don't like to wait for loading, compiling shaders, etc etc in an age where SSD's are a hard requirement by developers to *promote* faster loading.

Loading times being over 15-20 seconds in modern day when everything is SSD is absolutely ridiculous. It's a valid criticism.

підскажіть будь ласка, в мене на локації свалка, стався якийсь баг, мій герой при кожному кроці втрачає здоровя, і я не можу продовжувати гру!! це сталося коли я був перезавантажений і продав майно, щоб не було перенавантаження і після цього стаєтся цей баг, я просто не можу далі грати, бо при кожному кроці втрачаю здоровя! хто стикався з таким, що робити!? скажу одразу, радіації чи аномалії немає, коли стоїш то все норм, тільки починаєш рух і все!!!

Why is this the only game I have that recompiles shaders every time I launch it? I hope this isn’t the future of gaming

It takes no more than 40 seconds.
If its taking up to 8 minutes you got something wrong with your PC or slow components

pretty sure its loading the world and everything else so you dont have to wait 1 minute for each time you quick load the game or when you die.

I'm experiencing the opposite situation. I installed several mods, none of which were fixes or ones that disabled shader compilation at launch. However, after uninstalling those mods the game has ceased compiling shaders.
That being said, I actually enjoy the shader compilation process; it provides a sense of reassurance.

And yet there are just as detailed games that have no main menu loading and load your saves in 20 seconds. This is inefficient ue programming

Jedi Survivor used to do the same thing but now it launches much faster.

Actually JS took way longer to compile shaders than any other game I have seen that does that.
