Compiling shaders taking way too long...
Its been nearly 3 hours and its on 49% (i tried to play while its compiling but too many loading screens between scene changes), now i idle it in menu but its taking so much time, is it a single process? Once you compile them you are good to go for the next launch? And can you speed up compiling process somehow?

I let it build the shaders all the way through once but still had to build them again the next time, but since the second shader build, I haven't had to. That was in the first two or three days of release, though. I hope it's good to go once it finishes for you!

Strange, it should go much faster when it hits 45% mark. Anyway, yeah, you're good for next launches once you compile them.

It's a one time thing untill you update your driver then you have to do it again.

What CPU do you have?

It's a known issue. It had some to do with buggy DLL (Dynamic Link Library) files causing the game to take extremely long to finish shader compilation.

49%? that's after the turning point when it gets to the finish line. absolute pointless post. xD

That DLL thing seems to be deeper than just a buggy version of that file that originally shipped with the game - it's also a dynamic compression thing with it, so it sucks CPU like crazy while you play, especially when entering a new area. The game is literally decompressing all the assets on the fly - once the PC finishes doing it the game opens up a bit CPU wise....until the next area etc. But then again some of us can't even LOAD INTO THE GAME YET still. I still crash on compiling shaders, and the one time I was able to get it to finish, I get to the opening with Sarah and right when you get control of her, game hard locks. Every time.
