slow load of shaders

slow load of shaders
possible reason?
will shaders go faster if on ssd

[Doonky]

The game is poorly optimized so shaders usually take longer than usual for some people. But for the most, the game is very detailed so it’s pretty reasonable as to why shaders takes a while to load. It only took like 30-40 minutes for me but takes some almost hours.

Took 15 minutes for the shaders to compile 100% on my PC.

Shader compilation speed is directly impacted by your CPU then by your memory performance (including the storage drive the game is installed on).

For points of references, I've seen 12th and 13th gen Intel's get this done in about 15-30 minutes.
My 5800X Ryzen 7 got it done in about 25 minutes.
Anything pre-9th gen Intel is gonna just slug ass through these. Even the 9th gen will be slow with it.

The shader compilation is a multi-threaded, all-core type of processing request your CPU does and it's most efficient with proper multi-threaded CPUs (hyperthreading on Intel which don't show up until much more recent generations compared to AMD's CPUs).

Same. (with i79600k cpu) (with i79700k cpu)

I think it depend where the game is installed.
Nvme = 15 min more or less
sata ssd : probably 20-30
hdd : probably 1 hour or more.

[notSure]

more cores cpu = faster

What's the rest of your system paired with? You're the first 9th gen I see get the shader comp done in under 45 minutes.

I have no reason to lie.
i think many players had shader comp in 15-20 min, just they are not the one who complain on the forum, so they are not the one you'll see there.

rtx2070super / 32 Go Ram / win10

errrm my mistake, after checking it's a i79700K not 9600K (8 cores, not 6)

True, maybe a lot of it has to do also with fiddling with the in-game settings at the menu as well?
I approximate mine having taken 25 minutes cause I rolled a joint and went and smoked it and a cig before coming back about 25 minutes later and it was done. I know it did take more than 15 minutes for me because I did check on my CPU temp and the progress between the joint and the cig, but coming back after the cig was about 8 minutes later and it was done. The last 30% zipped by for me.

Later you will get the crashes, so don't worry.
Let enjoy a cpu at 100% for approximately 1 hour, non-stop. If the cpu resists, then you can enjoy the crashes.

As a detail, a bit of stuttering and bugs to make this port the biggest garbage and win the award for the worst port in history.




For the players. Great, great sony.

RTX 4080 + i7-12700k + 2x16GB RAM + SSD WD B SN850 = 20-25min shader compilation.

When do these crashes come? I've played 8 hours now and made it to Bill (first 2.5 hours built shaders)...0 crashes. Im on the worse performing Nvidia GPU as well AND a cpu below the min. recommended...still.no.crashes.

I didn't get any crashes until a fair bit further in after leaving Bill's area behind.
But my crashes were related to my GPU being overclocked. Disabled the OC and the crashing stopped. I got game engine crash reports with those crashes.

I tried to OC my GPU to get around potential vRAM spillover and that did help with that. But I wasn't even having performance spikes to begin with before so it was mostly wasted use of OC to get the odd artifacting and a few game crashes for this game. I'll stick with the rare 1% low for me on my system.

But the crashes are definitely there. There's more than just OC related crashes as well. Just haven't had the luck of experiencing any of these ones myself. But the crashes seem to be a lot more common in the later scenes in the game that get a fair bit more demanding.

Took me 4 hours on R5 3600, but that's because the game crashes 50 times. If I had page set set back then also, it probably wouldn't have crashed.

[kerberos_20]

for me it took 4 hrs to finish compiling shaders and its not multithreaded, it was running in single thread
R7 3800X, RX6800, 32GB, win 11 22h2
ram usage22GB/12GB vram, swap file was utilised by around 700MB

[Irontoe]

That is insanely poorly optimized.... Going on 20 minutes, on a 4090 13700K 32 GB DDR5 RAM and running on a PCI-E 4 NVME drive.

[Blacksmith77K]

Under 12 Minutes on 5800x after 1.0.3 Patch here...
