Low FPS Slide Show Stutter Fix After Update

If you didn't have this issue before but started having it after update, rebuilding shader cache will most likely fix this.
Devs need to add option to rebuild shader cache in game and also automatically delete/overwirte files located in localappdata for both nvidia & amd.

- To rebuild shader for Nvidia GPU users;
Delete "psolibs" folder located in game directory.
Delete all files located here "%localappdata%\NVIDIA\DXCache" skip files that can't be deleted if prompt appears.
Verify game files in steam otherwise you'll be stuck in loading screen and then launch game to start building shader cache again.

- For AMD GPU users;
Delete "psolibs" folder located in game directory.
Delete all files located here "%localappdata%\AMD\DxcCache" skip files that can't be deleted if prompt appears.
Verify game files in steam otherwise you'll be stuck in loading screen and then launch game to start building shader cache again.

Rebuilding shaders won't make the game magically run good.

If there's a problem in the shader being compiled, then yea this can help.
Sometimes the shader gets compiled incorrectly because Steam downloaded the wrong file when the game got patched, verified or installed. Or not so much download the wrong file just download a file and it gets corrupted because of Steam server connection issues.

Rebuilding PSOlib can help, but it's probably better to try an actual reinstall or verify the game first.
