An what's fun is you get to do it evey time you update your GPU driver, yay!

Don't you have to do that with most games?

Name me any game that takes as long as TLoU takes to compile.

Uncharted 4 also has a rather long shader compilation :)

And once you reboot your PC for any reason, it all starts over again, rinse and repeat. Wonder why they can't just compile the textures once and put them in a separate folder. That way they would only compile on an update. Makes sense to me.

Rebooting your PC won't demand recompilation.
- post-game-patches require rebuilds
- post-graphics-driver-patches require rebuilds.
It DOES place it in a shader folder - I don't remember which - but you deliberately delete it to trigger a full rebuild.
You might want to confirm my assertion with others in the community.

Uncharted 4 also takes exactly 20 minutes on my hardware also, identical to TLOU.

current patch 1.0.5.1
just under 14 minutes(including left behind) with 5800X3D

[derSanitoeter]

Current patch 1.0.5.1.

AMD 5950X -> hitting 10 mins max for TLOU + Left Behind
AMD 5800X3D -> 15 mins max for both

I am currently testing the 5800X3D for gaming ( VR and simracing and some other games A).

This. If it's recompiling after a reboot then it's either just been patched or there's something wrong with your install or system.

FWIW I played it over the past few days on the latest patch and shader compilation took 5-10 minutes on my system with a 12700k and 3080 Ti. I don't know what it's reliant on, so it could be any number of things causing it to take longer for others. I didn't have any crashes and once I got the settings tweaked it was smooth sailing. I have way more issues with the end of the story than any technical problems 😔

For those who don't know (which seems to be the case from some of the comments), you can play the game while the shaders are compiling, but it will cause some stutters in gameplay and probably take longer overall.

As always, YMMV 🙂

Game still stutters & audio crackles, with frametimes spiking up to like 109ms, even when doing absolutely nothing or just being in the menu…
