"Optimizing game files" at every start of the game

[GODzilla]

Anyone else? I guess it's some kind of shader compilation, but for me it happens every single time I start the game.

Happens to both my roommate and I as well.

I assumed it was shader caching.

Same here. It's really the only non-gameplay related issue I've encountered. There's really no excuse.

Yeah for me it happens at every start too, it is really annoying when the game crashes and you have to wait for the shaders everytime.

Well if it helps for now, I'm willing to sith through it. I renamed both the startup video files (\Jedi Survivor\SwGame\Content\Movies), so those are out of the picture and the optimization itself doesn't take that long.

I'd call it an inconvenience, but probably not the worst problem the game has currently. :D

Thanks for the feedback people!

I get it.


Because it's Star Wars.

I swear this was an unintentional typo. But then again...maybe it was the force speaking through me lol. :D

Same problem here. Also asks my speaker preferences and makes me accept the EULA everytime as well.

Don't worry, this will probably get fixed soon (TM). xD

Hogwarts Legacy is the same I suspect a new norm

[Ducatomb]

Is it fixed now?!

They do this on purpose I'm pretty sure. Rather than compiling 'all' of the shaders they just do a handful of them each time the game boots. I would guess they're betting on people stopping and starting the game a lot of times. Wish they'd give an option during install or first startup or something.

When I first started playing it I wanted to see if it was starting every time so I started and quit the game five times. Its anecdotal but I think my stuttering was less afterwards, though the big frame drops in the open world when transitioning map areas still happens.

I will beat the system, reinstall the game and the graphics driver fresh, then start it once and play it from start to finish. HAHAHAHAHA! xD

....what I meant to say: No offence, but this makes no sense. ;-) With the same logic they could just skip any kind of shader compilation and let it compile during gameplay, because people will play and replay sections of the game anyway.

I think it's either a bug or not properly done.
