Issue: preparing shaders every time I load the game

[jidong216]

anyone run into this issue or have a fix?

Try deleting the shader cache. Then do it one more time to see if it fixes it.

That's not a bug or anything, it's preloading shaders so yo don't have to wait for the Graphics to catch up or ''get visually pleasing'' while your playing. Hogwarts Legacy has that too, that's the ''New Standard'' for Modern Games i guess, since most Hardware would be too slow to load everything, everytime you change a Scene or Character.

I've tried deleting the shader cache, didn't solve it

I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times

I've verified data

I also get the pop up "are you ok with game making change to system" every time I load the game...which is odd and I think is related to my shader issue. it's like somehow the game thinks its running for the first time every time for some reason

That is odd. Have you tried installing your newest GPU drivers? Then giving it a try?

Yeah but not every single time you load the game.

It is intended to load everytime you start the game.
there is nothing wrong happening here.

No you only see it once, it shouldnt happen after that (I had the same bug the OP is saying, but it went away somehow, I haven't seen the shader loading screen in a while now)

We’re you able to get it working? I am in the same boat.

for me, if I alt + tab out of the game and back in, for whatever reason the FPS returns to normal

this isn't an ideal fix per say, but it's also not too bad...

Mine stuck at 89% for aboout 5 min. I was reading this thread when I look up and it's playing the opening of the game. Now it did just download a patch when I first opened my pc. Maybe that was a fix or it's just coincidence.

It is normal : D Pre-loading shaders is no easy task... that's why it priorities it when you first run the game so your experience can be smoother.

If it stays that way... let's say... for over 10-15 mins then you should worry. 5 min? Completely normal. And no... it is not an issue and it will never be fixed because it is not an issue. Your computer is doing a heavy task, it is completely normal if the percentage update isn't instant and seems like it is frozen for 5-10 min.

Note: Oh... and those shaders are gonna fill up some space in the C: drive. It doesn't matter where you download the game itself. Also shaders can be needed to preload once again if you don't enter the game for too long and your drivers... game itself... had numerous updates etc. because the old shaders are not there anymore. Also, you don't need to worry much about preloading shaders as long as your GPU satisfies the VRAM need of the game.

No it's only supposed to happen after updating graphics drivers or when the game updates, not every time

[KripTed]

It happens every time here too. It never use to but now it does. It's not a huge deal breaker though. Usually takes like 2 seconds.

Everytime I launch the game it does it. takes like 5 minutes to start the stupid game. Very annoying.
