Shader compilation infinite loading screen

[Avast]

I haven't been able to play the game since update 1.1. I open the game and it gets an infinite loading screen and it only resolves when I clean the shader cache from the disk and delete the saved folder from the stalker 2 appdata folder but if I close the game and open it it happens again and I have to do it all over again. If anyone has any solution please comment

Let me guess - you have AMD GPU or mods installed?

Same here, I have to empty the cache every time I want to play, or else I can't even get to the main menu. Tried validating before launching but that doesn't help. It's a real shame too because the game runs a lot better for me since the update (I'm on a 3060 6gb).

So to answer the question, we're SOL until they fix this issue, a mod comes along before that or we keep deleting the cache preemptively...

Edit: I removed the performance mod I was using two updates ago, the ~mod folder is empty.

i got a amd gpu :), a 5700xt no oc, no mods installed, I tried installing some mods to see if it would solve the loading screen problem, but without success.

On 4070ti I have not compiling shaders at all. Instant main menu after logo screen. So it is definitely some compatibility problem or small VRAM.

same here with AMD, no Mods. Ich will zocken!

After the latest update shader compilation last about 40 minutes. Tried to clean cache folders, it doesnt help. Before update it tooks about 3-5 minutes.
Rtx4060, game pass version

Also I am using Windows 10, game purchased in Steam. System runs on R9 5950X. No problem with game loading.

Glad you're not having that problem. but several people are having it and it makes the game unplayable and you can't even open it because it stays on that infinite loading screen. Before update 1.1 the game ran smoothly and without problems both in gameplay and at startup and now it doesn't even open. They say they are correcting it with updates 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 but I don't see any difference. I'm starting to think it's doomed to fail like cyberpunk

Once again, after an update, UE dumps its guts compiling shaders. Only solution is complete uninstall and reinstall. Twice in as many days now thanks to small updates. Unacceptable.

I have shaders compile disabled for almost a month and game loads almost instantly, have you tried to disable it ? It should load in some few seconds.

Disable or enable compiling shaders at each game launch and less stutters
