Loading Screen Freeze / Have to delete shader cache and verify steam everytime on launch
As the title says, I have been having issues loading into games, which I presume is due to the preloaded shaders. Whenever I close and open the game and load into a match on multiplayer or warzone the loading screen is infinite and I have to close the game through task manager. However, if I delete the shader cache and verify steam files, the game does work but when I load into a game the first 2-3 minutes are extremely choppy and unplayable, until out of nowhere, it runs perfectly fine on 100fps. Has anybody had the same problem, if so, is there a solution.

You need to install the game on a SSD. It runs slowly from a HDD.
You need to have a min of 35 GB free space on systemdisc C:
Set virtual memory to manual between 3000-27 000MB. restart PC.
Preloading of shaders using this and it is win controlled.

Clear download catche in steam/download. Steam restart.
if you done the things above, do a new shader preloading from graphic settings.

what do you mean by set virtual memory? are you talking about VRAM? in Windows or the game? and if i set it to 27000 wont that break my gpu, as it is only 8gb vram?

Virtual memory is the windows page file, were some call it swap file.

You set it in windows advance settings: Here is some turtorial from Tom's hardware:

This tutorial was written by Tom's Hardware Community member viveknayyar007.
You can find a list of all their tutorials here.

Pagefile in Windows 10 is a hidden system file with the .SYS extension that is stored on your computer’s system drive (usually C:\). The Pagefile allows the computer to perform smoothly by reducing the workload of the physical memory, or RAM.

Simply put, every time you open more applications than the RAM on your PC can accommodate, the programs already present in the RAM are automatically transferred to the Pagefile. This process is technically called Paging. Because the Pagefile works as a secondary RAM, many times it is also referred to as Virtual Memory.

My game just started doing this today. Freezes on the map loading screen after finding a match. Been running just fine until today smh.

Deleting steam download data then redownloading the game shaders seemed to fix the game for me so far.

I think I have fixed the game, however, I am scared to let the shaders fully pre load as everytime it gets to 100%, the next time I close and open the game it does the loading screen freeze. Because of this the game is extremely choppy in the first match of every play session.
