Building Shaders takes forever

[Crashtastic]

Takes way to long to build the initial shaders. Games been sitting on the main screen for like 10 minutes and still under 50% shader build. Atomic heart built the shaders in like under a minute.

10mins?!?!
It took me 90mins to get to 32%
Then it suddenly accelerated. 2hrs in total.

Works fine now .

Atomic Heart does not have that many custom shaders to compile to begin with.

Though iirc it was Detroit and Spider-Man who had quite long shader compilatio process which got optimized with patches a bit.

Same here, been on 50 minutes and only at 50%. Is building shaders a one off or is it going to do this every time I try to play?

IGN is waiting too.

it's one off

[macatak]

when it's building shaders best is not to do anything, like alt tab or open overlay

[Coprolyte]

Wow, quick replies guys. thanks.

Took me like 25 mins..All depends on what your running. I have a 5800x3D, 32gb ram

Good for you, it is still a crazy amount of time.

Yeah this is the worst game I have ever encountered for this to date. Not like I have a slow system either (5800X3D, 4090, NVME, 32 GB RAM etc).

Honestly this is completely unacceptable and I can understand why people are not happy. I am going to still play and review the game based on the game but they deserve the negative reviews for releasing a game in this state.

[Ultradad]

Mine took 30-60 minutes (not sure exactly as I was doing other things)... but after that it worked fine.

They really should have put a message up on the menu about it though

[Ted]

Yeah its crazy, I understand people being pissed

[Dayemon]

Shader caching speed is fully dependent on how fast your CPU is. Just watch your temps and CPU load while compiling, it thrashes it. The same thing happens on emulators. I'm thankful for precached shaders, so much better than the horrible mess of stuttering game play from like every triple A release in the last 2 years.

See: Calista Protocol on how stuttering can ruin a game.
